Form or Function? The Impact of New Football Stadia on Property Prices in LondonGabriel M. AhlfeldtLondon School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) - Department of Geography and Environment Georgios KavetsosLondon School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) September 1, 2010 Abstract: This paper focuses on the channels through which stadium externalities capitalize into property prices. We investigate two of the largest stadium investment projects of the recent decade – the New Wembley and the Emirates stadium in London, UK. Evidence suggests positive stadium externalities, which are large compared to construction costs. Notable anticipation effects are found immediately following the announcement of the final stadium plans. Our results emphasize the role stadium architecture plays in promoting positive spillovers to the neighbourhood. We therefore recommend public funding of large‐scale sports facilities to be made conditional on a comprehensive urban design strategy that maximizes the external benefits.
