The picture above is of Katie Strickland's artifact, Busch Stadium. Busch Stadium is located in St. Louis, Missouri. It is home to the St. Louis Cardinals, a professional baseball team. The stadium was built in 2006 in downy town St. Louis. The iconic St. Louis Arch can be seen in the background and is clearly visible from any seat in the stadium. There is a lot of design throughout the stadium. Gate 3 is designed to be a small replica of a bridge that leads into the city. It is very iconic to most St. Louis natives. Also there are the design aspects in the actual field. The grass behind home plate is painted with the team logo while the outfield grass is cut in an artistic pattern. These two things give a certain character to the field. There is a lot of consumerism that takes place especially in the food. There are many different food stands that makes it easy for everyone o find something they like. Also there are vendors who will serve a fan at their seat so the fan will not have to get up and miss any of the game. Although there is no direct for of media, the team is all over the media. The more publicity the team gets, the more the stadium gets. The Cardinals are usually successful and have been in the World Series multiple times over the last few years, this means that Busch Stadium is constantly on TV for millions to see.

The picture above is of Austin Johnston's artifact, a Titleist Pro V. The Titleist Pro V1 is a popular golf ball that is used by many lovers of the game of golf. The core of the golf ball is first made when rubber is turned into a marshmallow-like shape. The rubber is then put into a spherical mold and baked at over 150 degrees celsius. Then a hard outside coating is added to protect the core of the golf ball. This outer coating is designed with many dimples. These dimples are made to help with aerodynamics and loosing the ball to travel further. It also allows golfers to put different spin on the ball when it lands on the free. This golf ball is used by some of the best golfers in the world. It is constantly on TV in some of the most viewed golf tournaments in the world. To the golf community this ball is probably the best and most popular golf ball. As a gofer myself, I can support this claim, in that the Titleist Pro V! is the best golf ball on the market.
