3 World Cups in Germany: 2006 LegacyWolfgang Männig:
• Short-run economic benefits are not the main aspect/ argument of (large)
sport events (exception: feelgood)
• Potentially positive long-run effects: novelty effect and nation´s
international perception
• Experience from landmark buildings: centrally located, saving infrastructure,
at the Waterfront , architectually innovative and „unpractical“
• Stadia for Germany 2006 fail, but for SA 2010 meet these principles
• Good chances for South Africa: less crowding-out; no couch potato-effect; no
carneval effect; more potential for improvement in international perception
