Abstract: By using literature research method, the paper analyzes the new development trend of US sports venues, with the conclusion showing that with the wide spread of judicial litigation against the construction of sports venues in the United States, sports venues’ financing is faced with a dilemma. Sports venue construction has witnessed a trend of continuous decreases in public fund and increases in private fund. The wide use of high-tech and environmental building materials induces the environmentally-friendly development trend in the construction of sports venues. The fierce competition between universities brings about a vigorous development trend of sports venues in American universities. Sports venue construction has become the main measures for the urban renewal and local economic recovery in the United States. At present, a new social problem of the general public being rejected from sports venues has been witnessed in the United States, which has eroded the public welfare of sports venues. The paper proposes the corresponding measures for China’s sports venue construction and development.
