"Architecture wasn't the only aspect of stadiums that changed in the 1990s. The ballparks also saw their location return to the central city, taking part in?and sometimes serving as a catalyst for?the rebirth of the American downtown...downtown ballparks are not always the primary factor in neighborhood revitalization; some take advantage of the renewed popularity of the central city."
