The physical environment of an event can affect the way spectators view the activity that is being held at an event. In this instance, the physical environment of a stadium can affect the way spectators view the game of football. The overall stadium experience a spectator may have depends heavily on some of the physical aspects of the stadium’s environment. If the experience is positive, then the desire to visit the stadium again will be more likely. If the overall experience is negative, then more than likely the spectator will not return. In my research, I have found that The University of Alabama does a great job at keeping their attendance up at their football games. While many people seem to have an overall positive experience at the stadium, there are also some areas that could be improved. There are over thirty-seven thousand students that attend The University of Alabama. The college is well-known for its championship football team who reigns in the Southeastern conference of every year. You can probably imagine the enormous population that is in attendance at each football game. Winning championships is not the only thing that keeps the fans coming. The physical aspects of the stadium are appealing enough to keep the fans coming as well. Alabama does a great job at maintaining attendance, but because there are so many people I would suggest them opening up more space for convenient parking. Almost every Saturday in the fall there are thousands of people racing to
The growing interest and boom in popularity in the sport was obvious, in fact the change was so quick and the colleges, with their old-school style stadiums meant for crowds who, only a few years ago, would have been in much smaller proportions, were run over with the amount of people that came in to watch their games. In 1922, it was estimated that 500,000 people were turned down from buying tickets simply due to the lack of space. The total number of fans themselves was growing rapidly as the number grew, in fact in one year alone the total number of fans went from 10 million in 1924 to 12 million in 1925. Because of this school directors and boards of committees saw the major economic implications ahead of them and decided that in order to maximize profits they should simply build bigger stadiums, which they did. Yale was one of the first to see the coming boom and quickly raised its capacity from 50,000 in 1903 to 78,000 by 1914. With the amount of fans growing unproportionately to the growing sizes of the stadiums growing so rapidly talks of a 165,000
Term 3 commenced with each boy studying HPE in year 11, participating in the sport Touch Football. In this subject the cohort has been analysing the relationships between different energy systems and components of fitness that need to be acquired to successfully participate in the physical activity. Components of fitness are described as basic qualities that demonstrate the ability to complete daily tasks with energy, reduced health risks, and participate in a variety of physical activities (1). This presentation will give a thorough reflection on Touch football and what energy systems are of most importance to the sport. I will also be reflecting on the components of fitness that I personally need to work on which is observed from primary data collected in the HPE classes. Also methods of improvement toward specific components of fitness.
I am going to discuss the topic of National Football League stadiums and their public funding. The purpose of the study is to find out if funding of NFL stadiums is “bad business,” The research I will look at the impacts that a stadium has on the economy in the city. Cities’ like to have attractions that they can draw from and be proud of. Most cities have some form of sport arena, and more are being built or are planned to be built. As with any business there are positives and negatives when hosting a sports team. Cities pay multimillions to help fund and build sport stadiums for teams. I hadn’t researched or looked into this topic before, so I was very intrigued by this. At the end of this paper I will give my own personal opinion.
Proponents of subsidizing sports stadiums is a great decision because the economic impact it will have on the community is great for two main reasons. First, sports stadiums are massive construction projects. In fact, one could compare them to a medieval cathedral in their attempts to dominate a skyline and inspire pride in one’s city And, just like these cathedrals, they are very expensive, and massive building projects that would require many years of hard painstaking labor. For example, the proposed stadium for the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood, California, was predicted to cost $3 billion and add 22,000 construction jobs to the economy of Los Angeles, California. Although construction jobs do eventually disappear once a stadium is constructed once the games begin, so does the massive consumer spending. For example, more than 3.5 million people saw the St. Louis Cardinals play at Busch Stadium in 2015.
The least successful facility is Eastern Michigan’s Rynearson Stadium. According to the NCAA they have averaged less than 7,500 fans per game over the last couple of years. This is due to the poor performance of the team. The most successful football stadium is Northern Illinois Huskie Stadium. They are number one in the MAC for attendance. They had around a total of 1 million fans attend their games over the last eight years. This is due to there team’s success. From 2010-2013 they went 34-8 (Daley, 2013. I noticed when looking this up that winning is one of the most important parts of having a successful
The point of facilities has been to give the “wow” factor to visiting prospects. In almost all cases the facilities at a college will be better then the high school or junior college the student athlete is coming from. It is also believed that having better facilities will directly correlate with recruiting success, especially against rival colleges.
Dallas cowboys stadium, also called AT&T stadium, is the largest domed stadium in the National Football League in Arlington, Texas, United States, which is city-owned and has a capacity of 85,000 seats with a telescopic roof. It is used as the base camp of Dallas Cowboys, a great sport club in the world. Except its major application – professional football, many other kinds of activities can he carried out in the stadium like basketball matches, soccer games, also Spartan games and motocross. The stadium was finished on May 27 in 2009.
The month of March may be the largest stage for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The basketball tournament known as “March Madness”, brings in publicity, as well as revenue for the schools. People may ask, “why is this college basketball tournament so popular?” The answer is, it is the student athletes that make it exciting to watch. The athletic director for student services at Kansas State University, Phil Hughes, calls the student athletes “The Entertainment Product” (Varsity Green 13). The nickname may sound rash or rude, however he is right. The student athletes attract the crowds, that lead to sold out arenas. Hughes’ office is in a $1 million facility in the academic learning center at KSU, right next to the $2 million football facility (Varsity Green 14). If it were not for the publicity and revenue from the big-stage events for KSU, there would not be any million dollar facilities for the students and coaches to enjoy.
Evaluation of the Components of Fitness and an Analysis to Their Relevance of Touch Football
Then came the concern that the universities built stadiums that were too big. Many feared that there would not be enough people to fill the seats on game day. A majority of the stadiums were built too large for the time period. The teams had to grow their fan basis by winning important games in order to get more people through the gates. Also, many stadiums were built to hold one big game and crowd a year. But, would this one game bring enough money in to pay off the millions of dollars that were spent to build the stadium? The large stadiums eventually paid off when the fan base became larger, but it took years for that to happen. Now, there are so many people that want to come to the games that there is simply not enough room for everyone.
A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports. College football has gained the reputation for becoming the most celebrated sport. The best way to celebrate a college football game is tailgating. Tailgating and college football have become such a tradition that it is hard to see one happening
There is no question that everything people do in their lives involves physics. This is true from the way we communicate to the way that we fight wars. In some cases the influence of the laws of physics on our world are extremely apparent, such as in sports. Basketball, hockey, baseball and even cricket involve physics. From the most basic motions players perform in the game, to different plays designed by coaches, physics touches it all. These appearances of physics in the games that we play are sometimes so subtle we don’t even notice them. In other cases however, the impact of physics can be heard across the stadium as Jerome “The Bus” Bettis barrels his way into the endzone. The influences of physics on
Viewer experience of a Cleveland Browns game and Smithville Smithies game is very different. When you walk out of the dimly lit hallway and into the stadium at First Energy, the sun is blinding. The grass field looks so good that it could be easily mistaken as artificial turf. There are over 70,000 fans on any given Sunday. While looking around the stadium you can see orange and brown colors everywhere of fans representing the home team. Occasionally you can see different colors scattered amongst the Brown’s colors of the fans representing the other team. Noise from the crowd is so loud, it makes it hard to hear people sitting in the seat beside you. When the browns are announced they ran out of the tunnel and the whole crowd stands up to cheer. Many fans at the browns game fans are drunk, and yell at the other team’s fans. After the browns run onto the field they start warming up. Quarterbacks start passing the ball to each other, the centers are snapping, and the punters are
Method A: Fans from large U.S. prestigious football universities were participants in a field experiment (in large lecture halls across 7 different schools) where they observed student clothing/apparel on a Monday following a big football game.
Soccer is a sport that’s very challenging and during the course of this semester I’ve found physics can also be described as challenging. As far as I was concerned soccer and physics were both challenging and that was all they had in common, consequently upon researching them both this semester I found that I was wrong. For me this was nothing new because I’ve found that physics isn’t a subject that can be skimmed, but rather it has to be studied to the finest detail. Those small details if missed can make all your efforts worthless. Or on the positive side understanding those details can make your efforts worth it in the end. And in soccer if you understand the physics, which to most players
