Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to reframe analyses of stadium and arena subsidization policies from perspectives centered upon economic and financial issues toward a perspective focused on broader issues of urban governance and the public purposes of sports facilities. Such assessments would provide a better understanding of whether such use of public resources represents good public policy.Design/methodology/approachTo demonstrate this, the paper uses an integrated literature review to offer a historical analysis of sport facility development within the context of the broader assumptions that shape public policy and how sports have been used toward achieving particular public goals. This history provides a foundation for an analysis of sports facility development within the current moment as cities require team owners to invest in redevelopment activities in the neighborhoods surrounding sports facilities.FindingsThis paper asserts that focusing on the economic and financial aspects of sports facility development is a perspective that is too narrow. Instead, this paper shows that a more holistic approach, beginning with the dominant mode of urban governance and how its assumptions underlie the public purposes for which stadiums and arenas are used, provides a better explanatory framework and a deeper understanding of the issue in the contemporary moment.Originality/valueMoving beyond the question of economic efficacy, the public purpose-centered approach of this paper seeks to place subsidization policies into a broader dialog with other priorities toward maximizing the public good among the broadest population.

超越“谁付钱?”:体育场发展与城市治理
本文的目的是将体育场和竞技场补贴政策的分析从以经济和金融问题为中心的角度重新构建为关注城市治理和体育设施公共目的的更广泛问题的角度。这种评估将有助于更好地了解这种公共资源的使用是否代表良好的公共政策。设计/方法/方法为了证明这一点,本文使用综合文献综述,在形成公共政策的更广泛假设的背景下,对体育设施的发展进行历史分析,以及如何利用体育来实现特定的公共目标。这段历史为分析当前体育设施的发展提供了基础,因为城市要求球队所有者投资于体育设施周围社区的再开发活动。本文认为,关注体育设施发展的经济和金融方面是一种过于狭隘的视角。相反,本文展示了一种更全面的方法,从城市治理的主导模式开始,以及它的假设如何支撑体育场和竞技场的公共目的,提供了一个更好的解释框架,并对当代问题有了更深入的理解。原创性/价值超越了经济效率的问题,本文以公共目的为中心的方法试图将补贴政策与其他优先事项进行更广泛的对话,以便在最广泛的人群中最大化公共利益。
