Sport venues for professional teams in North America have drawn substantial attention from ‎academicians, elected officials, and taxpayers across more than 50 years. That focus is a result of ‎the cultural significance of sport and the magnitude of the public sector's investment in the ‎venues used by professional sport franchises since the 1950s. Franchise owners have a clear ‎interest in securing subsidies for venues that offer enhanced amenities that produce new and ‎more revenue streams. In the absence of public sector investment, a new or renovated arena, ‎ballpark, or stadium would cost an owner more money. With regard to the public sector's ‎interests in these investments and venues, several unresolved questions frame the political ‎discourse that defined this dissertation. ‎The primary purpose of this three-paper dissertation is to study the economics of venue ‎investment and development and broaden the current literature on stadium finance and public ‎policy. Each of the three studies provide new insights related to existing theory, confirm ‎previously proposed arguments, and propose new methods to examine the finances of ‎professional sport venues. The first study is a spatial analysis of the distribution of professional ‎sport franchises in the United States, critically examining the impact of the monopolies on the ‎geographical distribution. The second study analyzes attendance in English soccer, particularly ‎the duration of the statistical association between increased attendance and new stadiums. The ‎final study examines public policy, public finance and urban planning theories associated with ‎sport venue finance and development. ‎Based on the quantitative and qualitative analyses in my research, I conclude and corroborate ‎important evidence of anti-market behavior and detail the monopolistic structure of the North ‎American professional sport leagues and how their policies significantly affects where franchises ‎are located. The leagues' actions create the market-failure that leads to the provision of public ‎subsidies to attract and retain teams. Because of the monopolies, it also appears that the long-‎term effect of new facilities on attendance and economic activity is different compared to levels ‎in English soccer that includes promotion and relegation. The duration of the association between ‎the new stadiums and attendance was significantly longer in English soccer than the ‎‎"honeymoon" in North American sports. As I revealed in the third study in the dissertation, ‎despite the criticism against the allocation of public resources and incentives, since 2010 the ‎public sector provided more than five billion USD to support the development of professional ‎sport venues. Public incentives are unlikely to change; therefore, I propose that the analysis of ‎sport related projects should focus on more recent urban development and governance theories as ‎opposed to neoclassical public finance ones.‎There are several future research possibilities stemmed from my studies, including analyzing ‎the spatial distribution of professional sports with data that includes economic variables such as ‎firms, and evaluating the optimal number of franchises and their locations. Studies should ‎examine attendance trends and their association with new stadiums in other leagues outside of ‎North American, offering additional perspectives on the behavior within different leagues that ‎include promotion and relegation. Finally, I propose that future studies should examine the ‎development and finance of sport facilities with a more extensive analysis of urban studies ‎theories including urban entrepreneurialism, municipal capitalism, and performance and ‎conformance. ‎.
