Overview

The report "Ballparks as Urban Anchors" explores the role of ballparks in urban development and revitalization. Through case studies of Progressive Field, Citizens Bank Park, and Nationals Park, the report examines how these facilities can act as catalysts for economic growth, community engagement, and neighborhood revitalization.

Key Message

Ballparks have the potential to drive urban revitalization by acting as focal points for community activities and economic development. Successful integration of ballparks into the urban fabric requires careful planning, collaboration between public and private sectors, and a commitment to creating mutually beneficial relationships between teams and their host cities.
