Sports stadiums around the world tell a story, not only about the teams but also about the culture. Stadiums bring together fans from diverse backgrounds to share collective experiences and emotions. These stadiums, in some cases, become holy for spectators and loyal fans. Stadiums can reflect the local values, history, and traditions of where the stadium is built. A lot of stadiums are built near landmarks or have become landmarks themselves. For example, Wembley Stadium<\/a>, home of the England Football Team, is a landmark in itself. Wembley is in London; this makes non-sport people think of Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. But to most, Wembley can be just as thrilling. This stadium captures the attention of spectators and fans, along with everyone who supports them. No matter what sport it is, all stadiums, big or small, have a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stadiums Create Jobs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the economic side of sports stadiums, stadiums can influence the local economy. When stadiums are being built, they create a lot of jobs to build the stadium. After that, when the stadium is up and running, the community steps in to work the sporting events. This creates more jobs and opportunities for the local community to get closer to the team. Another big economic part of the stadium is the sponsors; these sponsors pay to be advertised all over the stadium. The sponsors really benefit the community, along with providing jobs. For example, in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers are owned by the fans<\/a>. The stadium and team are one of the only original teams that have not moved out of their city. The stadium has brought and kept the culture that forever lives in Green Bay; this shows the cultural influence great stadiums have.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stadium Pulse!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ar.inspiredpencil.com This image shows a packed Kinnick Stadium that was extremely loud, creating “stadium pulse”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next to the stadium pulse, this is a term for how loud the stadium gets. In certain sports, you can scream and yell to distract the players; this gives the other team an advantage. Some stadiums are designed specifically for that. For example, U.S Bank Stadium was designed on purpose to amplify the sound<\/a>, making it extremely hard for the other team to hear when calling plays. This helps the Vikings when playing anyone at home, hence the term \u201chome-field advantage\u201d. Looking at Kinnick Stadium, the fans are right next to the benches. This makes it extremely easy for Hawkeye fans to interrupt when coaches are communicating with players. Almost every Big Ten coach says Iowa is one of the loudest and hardest places to play because of the environment. This connects back to culture and the stadium presence; this is all because of how the stadium was designed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Me Out To The Ball Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baseball stadiums, they can be designed in some of the craziest places, such as the Field of Dreams<\/a>. The Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, is the most iconic place to play baseball in the whole MLB. This small town in Iowa has a great community culture that supports everything to do with the Field of Dreams. The stadium was designed in the middle of a cornfield. Baseball stadiums around the US involve different parts of city culture. Such as, the New York Yankees’ roll call<\/a>, this is a big part of the fan culture. The stadium caters to it by having a certain fan section where they do the roll call. The location and community around not just the MLB, but every stadium truly show you great culture and what it is like in that city. Along with what it means to support that team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fan Culture <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Culture is the driving force behind every great stadium and the support from the fans. Without culture, there would be no interesting stadiums, nor would people follow and watch the sports. These stadiums are not just stadiums; they create jobs and an environment that cities can be proud of. Everywhere around the world has gorgeous stadiums, but what truly makes them up to becoming great places to visit is the culture. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
