El Paso Downtown Baseball Stadium Facility Bond Project North Carolina State University El Paso Downtown Baseball Stadium Facility Bond Project Walter William Cutts PRT 503: Advanced Fiscal Management in Parks, Recreation, Tourism & Sport Organizations Dr. Kimberly Bush December 1st 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS El Paso Downtown Baseball Stadium Introduction……………………………………………….3 Funding……………………………………………………………………………………………4 Repayment Schedule………………………………………………………………………………5 Series 2013A Tax Exempt Bonds……………………………….5 Series 2013B Taxable Bonds……………………………………6 2 Stadium Introduction In an attempt to further economic development the city of El Paso, Texas has begun the construction of a minor league baseball stadium in downtown El Paso. City officials are constructing the stadium with high hopes of increased community pride, affordable local entertainment, new local business advertising, and increased tourism and business for the city.1 City officials believe the economic impact will greatly benefit El Paso. Bringing an affiliated baseball team to El Paso would act as a catalyst for revitalization, generate economic activity, and contribute to the quality of life within the city. With a proposed completion date of April 11, 2014 the new stadium will be home to the El Paso Chihuahuas of the Pacific Coast League, a minor league affiliate to the San Diego Padres. In September, 2012 El Paso Mayor John Cook announced that City Hall was facing demolition to make way for a brand new AAA baseball stadium.1 City Hall, whose appraised value was $13 million, was facing renovations of up to $30 million in cost, meanwhile alternative site price tags were steadily increasing. City officials came to the conclusion that the demolition of City Hall to make room for the stadium was the most economically beneficial decision for El Paso. In April 2013 El Paso demolished its City Hall to make way for the construction of its new down town baseball stadium. The completion of the stadium will make El Paso one of just thirty cities to host a AAA baseball team in the United States. The new facility was funded through the selling of the City of El Paso Downtown Development Corporation Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2013 A & B. $45.125 million Series 2013A tax exempt bonds were sold, primarily to four institutional investors, at a 5.48% interest rate while $15.66 million Series 2013B taxable bonds were sold at a 7.24% interest rate.2 Once the construction is completed, the Chihuahuas will be expected to play seventy one home baseball games per season.3 While not in use by the Chihuahuas, the stadium will be used for varying downtown events, providing extra sources of revenue. The city estimates that the new stadium will provide approximately $17.9 million per year in event-related revenue to the city. If this estimation holds true, the city will have ample funds for the repayment of the loan. The home opener is scheduled for April 11th 2013 against the Reno Aces. After a promising start in merchandise sales, the Chihuahuas are hoping to play in front of a sell-out crowd of 9,500.3 Sources: 1.. http://home.elpasotexas.gov/_documents/FACT_SHEET-Ballpark.pdf 2 .. home.elpasotexas.gov/ballpark/documents/Memo_on_pricing_of_ballpark_bond_issues.pdf 3..http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130820&content_id=62237440&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t4904&si d=t4904 3 Funding The new downtown baseball stadium will be 100% funded through the sale of El Paso city bonds. Through the selling of Series 2013A tax exempt bonds, El Paso was able to raise 45,125,000 dollars.4 Of the 45.1 million, 17.4 million is callable on August 15, 2017 or any date thereafter. Another 22.5 million is callable on August 15, 2023 or after.5 The purpose of the double call is to allow flexibility to restructure and repay the loan in the future. These tax exempt bonds are financed at 5.48%. Following the sale of Series 2013A bonds, Series 2013B taxable bonds were issued to raise 15,660,000 dollars.4 The taxable bonds are financed for 30 years at 7.24%. By keeping the taxable bonds issued significantly lower than tax exempt bonds, the city is able to capitalize on less taxable debt than originally projected.

  • Minor League Baseball and Its Clubs Embodied the Mission of Milb
    2019 MiLBTM COMMUNITY REPORT LETTER FROM PAT O’CONNER LETTER FROM PAT Dear Friends and Colleagues, Thank you for your efforts in making 2019 another successful philanthropic year for Minor League Baseball, our 160 teams and MiLB Charities. As we prepare for the 2020 season, we have many accomplishments from last season to celebrate. None of our efforts would be possible without the great work of our teams, continued dedication from staff at the national office and the support of our millions of fans nationwide. For a fifth straight year, all 160 clubs reported their charitable giving and contributions, allowing us to accurately assess our collective efforts. It gives me great pleasure to say that in 2019, MiLB Charities donated nearly $50 million in cash and gifts in kind from our teams, leagues and partners — once again setting a new record-high total. In addition, MiLB and its teams nearly doubled our volunteer efforts from 2018, giving more than 26,000 hours in service of our communities. This report highlights MiLB Charities’ many programs and initiatives, including the MiLB CommUNITY Initiative presented by Allegiant Air, the Stars & Stripes Caps Program with New Era Cap Company, the Derrick Hall Pro-State Foundation Father’s Day Initiative, Ed Randall’s Fans For the Cure, the Joe Torre Safe At Home Domestic Violence Awareness Initiative, and the “Cover Your Bases” Sun Safety Initiative with the American Cancer Society. These are just a few of the ways our teams and partners are working together to make positive and lasting impacts in our MiLB communities.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings June 23, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1963-The Reds complete a four-game sweep of Houston, allowing only one run. Jim O’Toole, Jim Maloney, Bob Purkey, Jim Tsitouris and Joe Nuxhall combined to pitch 32 consecutive scoreless innings MLB.COM Inbox: Can the Reds depend on Bailey? Beat reporter Mark Sheldon answers questions from fans By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | June 22nd, 2017 + 43 COMMENTS What can the Reds expect from Homer Bailey? -- Charlie on Facebook live It's a good question. Bailey will be activated from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday to make his season debut vs. the Nationals. He's a bit of an X-factor, because it's hard to place high expectations on someone who has had three elbow surgeries and only eight starts since August 2014. The last surgery was Feb. 18 to remove bone chips. But based on his rehab assignment numbers, they should expect some length and dependability. The rotation has averaged 4.93 innings per start this season. If Bailey can just go six or seven innings and keep the team in the game, the lineup should be able to do its part. What is Zack Cozart's prognosis on the DL with a right quad strain? -- Molly on Facebook live Cozart, who went on the DL on Monday, was expecting to begin baseball activity on Friday in Washington after a few days of rest. He was optimistic that he could be ready for activation on the first day he is eligible, which is Wednesday.

  • PDC and Relationship with Major League Baseball
    Minor League Baseball – PDC And Relationship With Major League Baseball The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, now known as Minor League Baseball comprises teams that are independently owned and operated from Major League Baseball Franchises. The Las Vegas Aviators Professional Baseball team is owned and operated by Summerlin Baseball Club LLC. The Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team is Owned/Managing Partner, John Fisher. Minor League Teams are then directly “affiliated” with one Major League team through a standardized Player Development Contract (PDC). Minor and Major League teams may enter into a PDC for a two- or four-year term and may reaffiliate at the expiration of a PDC term. The purpose of the PDC is to develop players available to play in the Major Leagues on demand. The manager, coaching staff, trainer, strength coach and players of the Triple-A affiliate are employed by the Major League affiliate through the PDC. (Las Vegas Aviators manager, coaches and players are employed by the Oakland Athletics). There is a total of 30 Triple-A cities that comprise the 14-team International League and the 16-team Pacific Coast League…therefore the 30 Major League Teams have PDC’s with the 30 Triple-A teams. History: Las Vegas Professional Baseball franchise – member of the Pacific Coast League since 1983: Las Vegas Stars (1983-2000, 18 seasons) - Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, 1,227-1,329 (.480), 7 playoff appearances & two PCL Championships (1986 & 1988). Las Vegas 51s (2001-08, 8 seasons) - Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, 561-586 (.489), 1 playoff appearance.
