Abstract

While most impact studies focus on competitive sports events, just a few pay attention to municipal sports events. Nevertheless, politicians use them to attain the purpose of a public policy: either to improve a situation, or to fill a gap. This is the case of ‘Charléty sur Neige,' which aims to address the underutilization of Charléty stadium (20,000 seats) in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. This free event transforms the facility into a ski resort for youths aged between 3 and 16 years. This article analyzes the various impacts of the event in order to identify the fit between the objectives and the effects observed. On the one hand, the event becomes a way to respond to cross-cutting issues far beyond the initial objective of the facility's animations. On the other hand, the stakeholders' interactions and local configurations reveal missed opportunities, confirming the essentially non-sporting use of the second largest Parisian sports facility.
