Mysterious Places, Political Spaces

Alpan, Başak ; Sonntag, Albrecht and Herd, Katarzyna LU orcid (2023) In Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE) p.3-23
Abstract
What is a football stadium? A structure that is most of the time empty in everyday life, but bursts with energy on matchdays. Its construction and maintenance cost a fortune, it occupies a lot of precious urban space and most often seems to facilitate undesired behaviour, such as letting off flares and smoke bombs, throwing chairs or water bottles, abusing and disparaging adversaries in any imaginable way. But for supporters, their grounds are sacred.
