Qualcomm Stadium

Through recent high-profile work of HOK Sport, the world's leading stadium architects, this book examines the increased significance and value of the stadium as an architectural icon. HOK Sport designed the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, the Reliant Stadium in Houston, SBC Park in San Francisco, Oriole Park in Baltimore, the Reebok and McAlpine Stadiums in England, the Telstra Dome in Melbourne, the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon and the new Nanjing Stadium in Nanjing. These stadiums have hosted the Olympic Games, the Asian Games, the Rugby World Cup, the Superbowl, the FA Cup Final and the European Football Championship final. HOC Sport are also the designers for the new Wembley and Arsenal Stadiums in London, as well as the new Wimbledon Centre Court and the Ascot Racecourse.

From Seattle to Houston to New York, governments and taxpayers are grappling with how to pay for new major league sports facilities. Support for public funding is down -- sports fans feel alienated in the face of team owners' demands, threats to leave, and spiraling player salaries. In Stadium Games, veteran Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter Jay Weiner zooms in on Minnesota's fifty-year history with pro sports and the issues contributing to the bid for a new stadium for the Minnesota Twins, along the way providing a big-picture evaluation of national sports economics. Stadium, Games begins with the events leading to the arrival of the Twins and Vikings to the state in 1961 and traces subsequent controversies about professional sports in the region up to the present. Weiner discusses the factors that make Minnesota the poster child for the nation's stadium debates -- the recent departure of the North Stars hockey team, the near departure of the Timberwolves, the strong opposition of taxpayers, and the apparent greed of team owners. In an account full of stories, scandals, and colorful personalities, Weiner reveals the behind-the-scenes deals and inside scoop on what went wrong in the unsuccessful 1997 campaign for a new ballpark, divulging how public relations experts failed and how government leaders conspired to fake out Minnesota's citizenry. Weiner concludes with a "call to reason" -- a manifesto on how Minnesota and other small markets can take back pro sports and begin a new kind of conversation about what stadiums and teams can mean to their communities.
