Areas of Interest
Professor Rosentraub’s sports-related research has two goals: (1) to advance the study of sports management and public policy; and (2) to change in a very positive fashion the course of public policy with regard to the relationship between cities and their professional sports teams. His research has never been designed to appeal only to an academic audience; his books, articles, and book chapters were also designed to change the course of public policy and influence the design and use of sports facilities and teams to advance the economic interests of cities and regions.
Dr. Rosentraub’s most recent publications have each focused on strategies for cities and regions to use sports facilities and teams, entertainment complexes, and cultural centers to enhance urban design, attract and retain the human capital needed for real economic development in cities, and to fashion financing programs for facilities that protect and advance the public’s interests. Dr. Rosentraub’s current research focuses on the ways in which the world’s largest sports and entertainment organizations and teams can successfully work with the public sector to positively impact regional economic development and urban planning and design while achieving their revenue goals.
Dr. Rosentraub is also engaged in research that explores the use of sports facilities, teams, and events to create social and economic linkages with the potential for contributing to a reduction of conflict in areas where different religious, ethnic, and racial groups struggle to avoid confrontations.
