Mr. Book just finished The Stadium: An American History Of Politics, Protest And Play, by Frank Andre Guridy.

This book was published in August 2024.

This book focused on stadiums being used for other things, such as political conventions and rallies, as well as issues arising inside of stadiums such as segregation, the battles to get women into clubhouses and press boxes to be able to cover games, public funding of stadiums, stadiums used as voting places and many more.

This book did a great job of covering the intersection of sports and politics.

I give this book an A.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

This review has been posted at my blog, Mr. Book’s Book Reviews, and Goodreads.
