The Tehelné Pole football stadium in Bratislava is the largest and the most prestigious sports arena in Slovakia. In this paper the author characterises the specific features that distinguish this facility from other modern football stadiums. He analysed its significance to the popularisation of football in this country, using an original sports facility evaluation methodology. The author assessed the functioning of the stadium and distinguished the components influencing the effectiveness of its regionand state-wide operation, as well as on the district and city scale—in the macro and micro scales. The study demonstrates the development potential of the Slovak’s football infrastructure compared to Central Europe.

Extant scholarship on football stadium names is almost exclusively restricted to discussing naming rights deals as expressions of toponymic commodification. Departing from this rather strict focus, this paper sets out to examine the patterns of stadium names from a quantitative perspective that is based on a dataset comprising football stadiums from around the world ( n=1485). Drawing on this empirical material, the paper conducts a multinomial logistic regression analysis focused on determining the factors that influence a stadium’s name as: (a) being neutral (names carrying generic, local and/or descriptive connotations); (b) being political (names celebrating ideological values, historical dates and/or political personalities); (c) representing sports figures (names commemorating sportspersons, either former players or club officials); and (d) representing sponsorship (corporate names). The model points out that variations in stadium names are accounted for mostly by the football continental confederation, but are also influenced by a stadium’s features such as capacity, year of construction and the status of being a shared venue or designated as the national stadium.

The European Commission expects that the development of bioeconomy across the EU will boost its rural and coastal economies. Although these areas have comparatively more spare biomass, at the same time they are associated with lower levels of entrepreneurship and R&D; activities. One can argue that more urbanized and industrialized regions with higher innovation potential will develop high value added bio-based industries, while rural and coastal economies will remain or become to a greater extent biomass providers. Therefore, the article aims to explore links between regional biomass availability, bioeconomy business cluster and innovation potential, as well as how the development of bioeconomy can evolve in different groups of regions. For this purpose, bioeconomy development factors including aspects of innovation economics are analysed in year of 2016 using data of 237 NUTS 3 level regions of Norden, Western and Central Europe. Research results reveal that analysed regions can not be simply separated into potential bioeconomy development ‘losers’ and ‘winners’, however, several groups of analysed regions have distinctly higher potential in certain bioeconomy fields.

Requirements for architectural and construction solutions of large-span translucent coverings of football stadiums imposed on the basis of the current legislation of the Russian Federation and the relevant standards of the International Federation of Football Associations, based on experience in the design, construction and operation of the 2018 FIFA World Cup facilities, are considered. The reasons for the requirement changes, caused by the transfer of ownership of sports facilities to subjects of the Russian Federation, and a change in the nature of the objects operation in the "Heritage" mode, are established. The diversity in the understanding of the tasks of a stadium architectural organization by specialists, involved in match arrangements, and the operational service, responsible for the break-even use of the facility as a multifunctional cultural and sports entertainment complex are identified. Priorities for adaptation of architectural solutions of large-span translucent coatings stadiums to changing conditions are established. Data on peculiarities of projects of Grand Sports Arena “Luzhniki” in Moscow and “Yekaterinburg Arena” are presented. The available experience in operation of the named structures since the completion of their reconstruction is generalized. The prospects of development of architecture of large-span translucent coverings of stadiums in the future are proposed.

ABSTRACT Traditionally, sport facility performance has been overlooked in the scholarly literature. However, in recent years, as the sport industry has become more revenue-driven, non-game day sport facility performance has begun to receive increasing attention. In intercollegiate athletics in the United States, one way that university athletic departments have begun to generate revenue is through the utilization of football stadiums as non-sporting event venues (Lee, Kim, & Parrish, 2015). However, little research has examined how intercollegiate athletic departments strategically utilize football stadiums as non-sporting event venues. Using a mixed methods approach, including qualitative content analysis and open-ended questions, the present study assessed how National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I athletic departments utilize their football stadium as a non-sporting event venue. Results showed that more than half of NCAA Division I athletic departments provided information as to the availability of their football stadium as a non-sporting event venue. Specifically, almost 70% of Power Five schools provided such information versus only 35% of non-Power Five schools. Also, findings revealed that some athletic departments do not provide this information on their website because they either prefer to keep stadium rental information internal or they are in a transitional stage in which they are working toward providing information about using their football stadium as a non-sporting event venue in the near future. Additionally, the results demonstrate that a majority of the users of football stadiums as non-sporting event venues were from local businesses or organizations. A discussion of the implications of these findings as well as opportunities for future research conclude this study.

Abstract: The development of sports, especially football, began to articulate as an industry and cultural statement. The stadium, as a place for football matches and as a form of architectural work, continues to develop along with the times. The architectural development of stadiums in the modern era, led them not to act only as a building, these stadiums often transformed as an icon of a city or even the country where they located. This research was conducted to identify the factors that shape the typology of contemporary stadiums, with Gelora Bandung Lautan Api as the object of study. Based on interviews, observations and literature studies, various kinds of factors determine the typology of contemporary football stadiums. Although the standards issued by FIFA are the main influences, the concepts and approaches taken by the designer also gives considerable contribution. Thus, the application of standards applied to the design should be balanced by appropriate design approach, which resulting functional stadium architectures while still in accordance with its identitiy as a part of a city or country where it located.Keyword: contemporer, football stadium, typologyAbstrak: Perkembangan olah raga, terutama sepak bola mulai berartikulasi sebagai sebuah industri dan pernyataan budaya. Stadion, sebagai tempat berlangsungnya pertandingan sepak bola dan sebagai suatu bentuk karya arsitektur, terus berkembang seiring perkembangan zaman. Perkembangan arsitektur stadion di era modern ini kemudian menggiring stadion tidak hanya menjadi bangunan fungsional saja, sering kali stadion menjelma sebagai icon sebuah kota atau bahkan negara tempatnya berdiri. Penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang membentuk tipologi dari stadion kontemporer ini menetapkan Gelora Bandung Lautan Api sebagai objek studi. Berdasarkan wawancara, observasi dan studi literatur, ditemukan berbagai macam faktor yang menentukan tipologi stadion sepak bola yang kontemporer. Meskipun standar yang dikeluarkan oleh FIFA menjadi pengaruh utama, konsep serta pendekatan yang dilakukan oleh perancang juga memiliki andil yang cukup besar. Dengan demikian, pengaplikasian standar yang diberlakukan pada rancangan hendaknya diimbangi oleh pendekatan perancangan yang tepat agar arsitektur stadion yang tercipta dapat berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya tetapi tetap sesuai dengan identitasnya sebagai bagian dari suatu kota atau negara tempatnya berdiri.Kata Kunci: kontemporer, stadion sepak bola, tipologi
