The study of large stadiums design and planning and management in USA

[[abstract]]Looking at the Taiwanese sports business, we are still in the beginnings. Local sports focusing on team competition and promotion of the activity itself rather than economic points of view. The lack of a national strategy, sport environment promotion and aligned resource management leads to bad results in international competition like the Olympic Games. International events like the World Games 2009 in Kaohsiung, the Deaflympics in Taipei and the upcoming Summer Universiade in 2017, have a huge impact on the Taiwanese sports sector and also make the Taiwanese people feel very proud about hosting such events in their country. Looking towards the U.S.A we can see that large stadiums can be a success with the right design, planning and management methodologies. Therefore, this study is about large stadiums in the U.S.A. Reviewing their development and experience in sport business and management while also focusing on the integration of business in the existing sport environment is defining the goal of this research. To achieve the research goal, we will review existing studies, do comparative analysis and further research techniques. The research should bring us to the following conclusions: 1.The location requirements for a large stadium of any type would be: Good transport facilities, easy to reach location for both urban and rural populations. 2.The following seven functional requirements for a large stadium have been identified: 3.Competitive activities, team training, business events, entertainment activity, large scale conferences, mass media events and general service activities. 4.The planning goal of large stadium would be defined as the following: Use as a multi-function arena, provide high usage and economic benefits, provide flexible and convenient service solutions, match international standards and provide an excellent environment for leisure and view for the Taiwanese people
