We are joined by author, urbanist, and certified bucket Ben Schneider to talk about stadiums from an urbanist perspective. We discuss how stadiums play a role in what Mike Davis once dubbed “the infinite game” of metropolitan development projects. We also get into why Urbanist Twitter and NBA Twitter feel strangely similar, why basketball stadiums tend to work better for cities than football stadiums, and whether Steph Curry is secretly the youngest NIMBY alive.
