Playing the Field: Why Sports Teams Move and Cities Fight to Keep Them Paperback - 1993
by Charles C. Euchner
First line
As the Chicago White Sox threatened in 1988 to move to Florida unless the Illinois legislature approved funding for a new stadium, labor activist Thomas H. Geoghegan tried to convince state and municipal officials to resist the team's demands.
From the rear cover
According to Charles Euchner, the power of sports franchises is due, at least in part, to their overall economic insignificance. Since the demands of a franchise do not directly affect many interest groups, opponents of expensive stadium projects have difficulty developing coalitions to oppose them. The result is that civic leaders tend to succumb to the blackmail tactics of professional sports, rather than developing and supporting sound economic policies.
