| Abstract: |
This thesis examines the strategies that both the community and the team owner employ in the search for funding a new baseball stadium. Baseball stadiums are demonstrated to be private goods with positive externalities. For team owners, baseball stadiums are part of the business side of baseball, and as a private good are a means of increasing their revenue stream. For communities, baseball stadiums can provide a variety of external benefits, ranging from public monument to urban renewal. The historical survey of the processes by which stadiums have been built in the last 15 years provides a context in which the choices of both team owners and communities can be understood. Together this analysis attempts to determine the conditions necessary for a successful balance between community and team desires. |
