 Now!\n\n\nStadiums are commonly viewed as sports and entertainment venues 
 where fans behold breathtaking performances by athletes and concert 
 performers. In this talk\, Frank Guridy will show how stadiums have played 
 a much larger role in American history. They are unique gathering places 
 where elites and governments project their power and where the marginalized 
 and dispossessed express their desires and discontents. Stadiums have been 
 barometers of the state of democracy and the fate of the nation since they 
 first emerged as makeshift wooden structures in the late 19th century.
