Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The American sports stadium, for all its raucous glory, is an overlooked centerpiecea veritable templeof our national culture. A hallowed ground for communal worship, this is where history is made on grass, artificial turf, hardwood, and even ice; where nostalgia flows as freely as ten-dolla…r beers; where everything thrills, from exploding fireworks to grinning cheerleaders. In The Arena, "an altogether new and riveting sports classic" (Josh Wilker), intrepid sportswriter Rafi Kohan crisscrosses the country, journeying from one beloved monument to the next. As he finagles access to the unexpected corners and hidden corridors of our most frequented fields, he discovers just what makes them tickand what keeps us coming back time and time again. Beginning with the "old-timers," Kohan pays his respects to Chicagos ivy-laced Wrigley and Green Bays lovable Lambeau, which have creakily adjusted to the twenty-first century while maintaining those age-old quirks fans have prized for generations. Juxtaposing these cherished time capsules with mighty new mammoths like Dallass shiny AT&T Stadium, Kohan examines the often-punishing realities of how they are built, from architectural ambition to controversial funding and political strong-arming. Meanwhile, just outside the turnstiles of these commercial cathedrals, whole ecosystems flourish, buzzing with charming merch men and cutthroat ticket scalpers. Trips to Clevelands Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena illuminate such shadow economies, revealing the remarkable impact a teamand even just a single player (yes, were looking at you, LeBron James)can have on an entire city. With infectious enthusiasm and wit, Kohan also explores the behind-the-scenes logistics and deeply ingrained traditions within these bustling facilities, cracking open a secret world of unforgettable charactersgroundskeepers, mascots, halftime performerswho work tirelessly to make the live event worth the price of admission. If youve ever wondered how they coordinate those fighter jet flyovers with the national anthem, how many hot dogs they serve in a day at Citi Field, how boozy pregame tailgates are kept in line, or what on earth AstroTurf is made of, look no further. As rowdy and rollicking as its subject, The Arena is a must-read for diehard fans, shameless bandwagoners, umpires, broadcasters, groundskeepers, culture junkies, tailgaters, and anyone else whos ever eagerly headed off to the ballpark to catch a game. Finalist PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing Riotous fan behavior, behind-the-scenes machinations, and madcap histories dominate in this unrivaled exploration of the modern American sports stadium. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
