Abstract
This study aims to understand whether the attachment to a sports stadium as a place can be used in urban redevelopment. In this study, stadium De Kuip is used as a case study. Whereas the focus within contemporary research often lies on the impact of newly built post-modern stadiums, incorporating former modern stadiums is often neglected. De Kuip in Rotterdam can be seen as an exception: within the current plans, De Kuip is not completely demolished but rather altered and incorporated within the urban renewal plans for Rotterdam-Zuid. Multiple methods are used to research this topic. A questionnaire is distributed among Feyenoord-supporters to measure the attachment to De Kuip as a place, and an influential Feyenoord-supporter has been interviewed to take a closer look at the role of De Kuip within the urban redevelopment plans and its heritage values. Furthermore, online sources have been used to research this role. It is concluded that the attachment to De Kuip can be used within urban redevelopment plans. This is possible when taking into account the heritage values that are attributed to De Kuip, and incorporating the cognitive-emotional attachment to De Kuip and the instrumental bonds that people have with De Kuip. Still, this does not mean that these heritage values must be used in the urban redevelopment. Heritage values clearly change over time and the attachment to a stadium may fade away.
