Construction Trends in Professional Baseball Stadiums -- Everything Old is New Again

Abstract: This 8 page report discusses the current trends in the construction of professional baseball stadiums. The technology and construction is top of the line high-tech while the theme and the style is a return to classicism. Stadiums such as Camden Yard in Baltimore and Comerica Park in Detroit (with its merry-go-round and Ferris wheel) attempt to make every effort to recreate the kinder, gentler days of baseball in the age of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig. The new stadiums also want to seat more people, attract more fans, increase advertising and sponsorship revenue, and serve more food and drink that include such traditional baseball fare as cappuccino and microbrew ale. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
