(2005) cultural hosting sport track Abstract The purpose of this study is to assess the cultural impacts of hosting a Diamond League international track and field meeting, annually, in Indianapolis, IN. Cultural impacts of events, such as sporting events and festivals, appear to be understudied due to researchers’ focus on economic implications. Hosting major sporting events may lead to both positive cultural impacts (e.g. increasingly positive image of the host city, community consolidation, cross-cultural interactions) and negative cultural impacts (e.g. security risks, traffic congestion, environmental concerns). Such impacts may be assessed using a survey of residents, and may be carried out both prior to and following an event. In the case of pre-event assessment, understanding negative impacts provides an opportunity to mitigate impacts. Post-event assessment provides an opportunity for improvement the following year. Knowledge of positive impacts shows organizers which impacts of an event are valued, so that care can be taken to preserve these impacts as the event undergoes change over time, and may be used by municipalities to justify expenditures (Fredline et al., 2003, p. 36; Small et al., 2005, p. 68; Billings & Holladay, 2011; Wicker et al., 2012, p. 338; Kim et al., 2015). The Diamond League is an annual 14-meeting series initiated by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to replace the Golden League; the series of 32 meetings reflect “the full spectrum of Olympic track and field disciplines” and are held in the same cities throughout the world each year (Diamond League, 2015, p.
