Resumen de Signaling status through stadiums: : The discourses of comparison within a hierarchy

Daniel S. Mason

  • Status and reputation have become increasingly important to cities seeking to differentiate themselves in a competitive global marketplace; sports events, franchises, and infrastructure have become a critical means to contest this. This paper takes a grounded theory approach and develops a series of propositions based on a single case study, making several important contributions to the literature. While others have argued for an affiliation affect, this study sheds new light on how the affiliation mechanism works by including both positive and negative affiliations. In doing so, we reveal how cities are actively managed, how sports facilities emerge as status signals on the policy agenda of entrepreneurial cities, and how notions of status are articulated and mobilized by managers
