the industrialization of the sports, stadiums started to mean more than a venue
for playing games. Therefore, choosing the best location of a stadium is an
important problem for the sports clubs. In this paper, a two-step hierarchical
multi-criteria decision-making model has been developed to evaluate stadium
locations. In the first step, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to
determine the criteria weights. In the second step, TOPSIS has been used to
evaluate the alternatives. Four main criteria have been identified to evaluate
alternatives: (1) stadium capacity, (2) construction cost, (3) accessibility
and (4) distances. As a case study, the proposed model has been applied to
three new stadium constructions in Izmir, Turkey. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi}
