Description

Explore the cultural impact of athletic architecture with The Rise of Stadiums in the Modern United States: Cathedrals of Sport. This book examines how stadiums have become iconic monuments that define urban and university identities across the nation. As many Americans recognize these structures more readily than other geographic features, this work investigates the concept of sportscapes - landscapes shaped by a deep devotion to athletic competition. While these secular cathedrals play a major role in modern American culture, they have often been overlooked by historians. This text fills that gap by studying these massive edifices and their role in the global society. Whether you are interested in architecture, urban history, or the sociology of sport, this Routledge publication provides a unique perspective on the structures that loom over our cityscapes and campuses.
