Opgraderinger, forbrydelser og nye arenaer – læs alt om hvordan fodboldbaner møder finansverdenens mørke hemmeligheder!
Dover High Schools sportsanlæg er i gang med en mindre omkostningsfuld renovering, hvor de lokale samfund engageres for at finde bedre løsninger. Den Joint Building Committee har som mål at skræddersy et budgetvenligt projekt, der kan tiltrække unge sportsfolk og styrke fællesskabet.
Samtidig strides der om Cat Island softball-felterne i Elizabethton, hvor et væld af frivillige, lokale virksomheder og parks & recreation-myndigheder er gået sammen for at renovere og bevare banerne. Enthusiasmen er så smittende, at man næsten kan høre cheers fra benene, der rammer græsset og boldene, der flyver imod de stærke hænder.
I Hawk Stadium har baseball og softball felter også fået stort fokus. Her er en investering på 5,5 millioner dollars på vej til opgradering, med håbet om at bringe banerne ind i en ny æra af sportspræstationer. De lokale talenter ser frem til at spille på moderne baner, som måske bringer dem det næste skridt mod en professionel karriere.
Men på et mere dystert niveau finder vi Stacy Horns nyeste værk "The Killing Fields of East New York,” der graver dybt i 1970’ernes finanskriminalitet. Bogen kaster lys over en sammensværgelse, der involverede bankfolk og boliglånsadministratorer, der skabte 'den perfekte økonomiske forbrydelse', som blev sit meteomærke på det urbane landskab i New York City.
Vidste du, at rematerialisering af fodboldbaner ikke kun handler om sport? De første kunstgræsbaner blev faktisk brugt til fodbold i 1960'erne, og de revolutionerede måden, hvorpå alumner og unge spillere trænede. Samtidig understreger problemerne med subprime-lån i Horns bog vigtigheden af transparens i boliglånsmarkedet, som også har indflydelse på vores samfunds sports faciliteter.
