Stadium Worlds

by Sybille Frank (Editor), Silke Steets (Editor)

Analyzing football as a cultural practice, this book investigates the connection between the sport and its built environment. Four thematic sections bring together an international multi-disciplinary range of perspectives with particular focus on the stadium. Examples from architectural design, media studies and archaeology are used while studying advertising, economics, migration, fandom, local identities, emotions, gender, and the sociology of space. Texts and case-studies build up this useful book for lecturers and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, geography, architecture, sport and environment.

Because of the date it has been written some of the information is already outdated, therefore a newer edition would be great. Quite nicely written and very well covering many aspect of the stadium and the relation between the stadiums and the society. However, it would have been great if it would go more deeply into the relationship of the design aspects of the stadiums and their relationship with the people little more deeply from a design perspective.
