This article really caught my eye as I was looking for articles. It read " Competitive Sustainability" and as I was reading the article, it talked about how colleges around the country to compete with expenses especially on football landscapes and stadiums. One part of the article said that if all the money was the same, there would be no competition. As colleges compete to see who fits the most fans in an stadium or who has the nicer football landscape, they all use different ways to use their expenses in becoming sustainable. This will help me in my article by comparing prices and universities to see which ones are spending their money more efficiently and becoming more sustainable.

That article sounds interesting! I think it is very appropriate considering USU is currently renovating and upgrading our own football stadium. I think another big reason universities want big, nice stadiums is for recruiting purposes.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see there is some level of sustainability consciousness in the world of sports area construction. I recently saw an article describing the L.A. Rams new football stadium that is going to be one of the biggest arenas in the world and cost $2.6 billion. It does not seem like saving money is anywhere on their radar.
