abstract: This article discusses people’s emotional attachment to places of sport in New Zealand. Studies on place attachment have tended to focus on residential areas, neglecting people’s attachment to places outside the residence. Sport has become an important aspect of modern society, influencing people’s identity and ‘coding’ places as sport places. However, how people can become attached to places of sport and what kind of emotions colour in-place experiences have remained underexplored. Drawing on participant observations, mental mapping, go-along interviews and photography with five members of a local rugby club in Auckland, we explore how places of the rugby club are coded and experienced. The results indicate that club members become emotionally attached to places of sport through performances and intense experiences-in place, which are nuanced by everyday emotions. In addition, these (masculine) performances and intense experiences code the spaces of a local rugby club as gendered places.
