Abstract

Through analysis of the relative power and capacity of particular groups to physically contour, carefully orchestrate, and proffer meanings about the regeneration of downtown cityspaces, we offer a critical interrogation of two poignant exemplars of cities that have responded to the spatial logic of accumulation through the creation of sport-anchored tourist bubbles. Through questioning these lascivious representations of urban life, we offer a suggestive conclusion that calls for a meaningful and productive critical sport tourism that is: anchored within the cross-currents of contemporary social analysis; operates as an element of the cultural terrain within a wider cultural politics; and that, necessarily, is interdisciplinary, addresses the most pressing social problems, and produces an oppositional and progressive politics.
