Abstract
This chapter evaluates the implications of stadium development for gentrification, displacement, and environmental justice. While stadiums can be developed in ways that benefit host neighborhoods, they have a long history of contributing to displacement of and negative environmental externalities among vulnerable communities. The chapter reviews social science literature on stadiums, gentrification, and displacement. It also explores the spatial relationship between stadiums and gentrification with a comparative, GIS-based analysis of 472 stadiums in 169 American cities. On average, census tracts located near stadiums gentrified at higher rates than other urban tracts and have above-average displacement rates among some racial and ethnic minority groups.
