Ripken Baseball® Acquires Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center in Ohio

Ripken Baseball

Ripken Baseball®, the leader in youth sports events and facilities, has acquired Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center in Sandusky, Ohio, located between Cleveland and Toledo. Known for creating lifelong family experiences, Ripken Baseball will operate next to one of the world's most acclaimed amusement parks Cedar Point. Ripken Baseball takes over the operation of Sports Force Parks beginning with the 2023 season, which is underway with over 50 tournaments on its schedule. The acquisition raises Ripken Baseball’s total number of youth sports complexes to six nationwide. The announcement confirms Ripken Baseball has expanded into sports beyond baseball and softball for the first time. Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center includes multi-purpose fields with the capacity of 11 baseball/softball synthetic turf diamonds or eight full-size soccer fields that are convertible to create up to 21 youth soccer fields, in addition to one ADA-accessible field for adaptive sports. The state-of-the-art playing surfaces allow the complex to host baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and youth football tournaments. “Adding Sports Force Parks to the Ripken Baseball family is significant on many levels,” said Michael Kenney, CEO of Ripken Baseball. “We now have an opportunity to bring a Big League experience to not only baseball and softball, but also soccer, lacrosse, and even football. The proximity of the complex is ideal for families looking for a complete entertainment experience with a world-class amusement park down the road at Cedar Point.” As part of the acquisition of Sports Force Parks, Ripken Baseball also assumes control of youth baseball tournament operator 17 Tournaments, and travel planner Oakwood Lodging Group. Named after the size of home plate, 17 Tournaments brings youth baseball tournaments to Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Ohio. Oakwood Lodging Group creates a seamless experience for youth teams traveling outside their home market to book hotels, flights, and other travel needs efficiently. “When my late friend, co-founder, and the vision behind Sports Force Parks, Brian Storm, first dreamed of entering the youth sports business, he endeavored to build parks where sports, family, and fun could bring people together,” said Mark Stalnaker, President of Sports Fields, Inc. “The model was built on the strong foundation that Ripken had already established for baseball but also added a variety of other sports such as soccer, softball, and lacrosse. Brian would be thrilled to see the growth opportunities that the industry leader Ripken Baseball can offer to Sports Force Parks employees as they are the backbone of the brand and have made the companies so successful.” Sports Fields, Inc. designed, built, and managed Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center, and also created Oakwood Lodging, and 17 Tournaments. Sports Fields, Inc. is one of the nation’s premier sports construction companies with a resume that includes designing and constructing The Ripken Experience ® Pigeon Forge, several fields at The Ripken Experience ® Aberdeen and The Ripken Experience ® Myrtle Beach, and over 100 fields for the Cal Ripken, Sr Foundation. In January 2023, Ripken Baseball announced Josh Harris and David Blitzer, via their respective family offices, completed a strategic investment in Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. Blitzer is a part-owner of the Cleveland Guardians, who are committed to supporting community initiatives with Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. “We welcome Ripken Baseball to the Northeast Ohio region,” said Cleveland Guardians VP of Communications and Community Impact Curtis Danburg. “We look forward to partnering with the Ripken Baseball family to create unique Major League level experiences for their athletes visiting their complex in Sandusky and Progressive Field.” About Ripken Baseball Ripken Baseball brings teammates, coaches, and families together through its Big League Experiences while teaching children how to play sports the right way – the Ripken Way. Ripken Baseball continues to innovate the game through tournaments, camps, clinics, and spring training at their state-of-the-art baseball and softball facilities – The Ripken Experience ® Aberdeen (Maryland), The Ripken Experience ® Myrtle Beach (South Carolina), The Ripken Experience ® Pigeon Forge (Tennessee), The Ripken Experience ® Elizabethtown (Kentucky), Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center (Ohio), and Cooperstown All Star Village (New York).

Survey On Mae Muller And All UK Finalists From The Past

Intelligiants

Over 50% think Mae Muller will end up in a top 3 position Survey suggests record viewing numbers from British households The most popular UK finalist from each decade revealed The UK has been part of the official Big Five in Eurovision since 2011 (Big Four from 2004) due to economic contributions and dubbed one of the heavyweight contenders, also referred to as one of the original Big Five (countries that have won the contest five times or more). However, the facts do not diminish that the UK audience is thirsty for a victorious night on the 13th of May 2023 in Liverpool. With the last win dating back to Katrina and the Waves in 1997, it has led many to question whether the UK should continue to participate in the contest, but with the deep connections and being a beloved member of the Eurovision family, the annual competition is ingrained in British culture. As the kick-off with the semi-finals is taking place on home pitch this year, the viewing numbers from British households will most likely be setting records and lead to the majority believing and hoping: It’s coming home! A survey with 1000 participants conducted by Gala Bingo gives further reasons to believe the support will be enormous for Mae Muller: Over 50% of the participants think Mae Muller will end up in a top 3 position: First position: 10,50%, second position: 18,00%, third position: 21,80%. 78,1% will watch the Semi-finals and/or Grand Final on TV: 43,40% will be watching the Grand Final. 34,70% will be watching the Semi-finals and the Grand Final. 9,60% will attend a Semi-final and 4,20% the Grand Final in Liverpool. The blog post does not just speculate on the outcome of this year’s competition but also covers an extensive questionnaire of the participant's favourite UK finalist from each decade, dating back to 1956. The survey also includes an all-time face-off where Sam Ryder (15,50%) takes pole position before classic Bucks Fizz (7,50%), and Mae Muller (4,60%) snags a third position before legendary acts like Gina G, Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard. With a top performance and scoring multiple ‘Douze points’, Mae Muller will mostly skyrocket ‘I Wrote a Song’ beyond ‘Space Man’ in popularity. All the results and statistics can be accessed in a blog post found here. Contact Details Intelligiants Ltd Fred Kvarnebrink +44 7889 314155 fred@intelligiants.net
