Museum of the City: Journal for 7/30/2010

Cities and Museums about Them

Towards a City Museum as a Centre of Civic Dialogue

Museums of Cities and the Future of Cities

Thinking About Exhibit Project

The role of sports in cities is a point of great civic pride. Additionally they have historical significance. Just look at the monuments of Rome and Athens, and you’ll find sporting venues as a key point on any tourist’s agenda. Modern sports have been making a push in recent years towards stadia that are housed in the urban core of cities, rather than the suburban fringes. The sports that are doing this are finding success with this strategy. I have a primary interest in Soccer, and I’d like to explore this more as it relates to cities throughout the world, although focusing on a single league might be more feasible for this class.
