Ballcorps reports $1.2 million in revenue to be paid to the city of Madison

MADISON – After a successful inaugural season, the Rocket City Trash Pandas have reported the city of Madison will receive over $1.2 million in revenue for the 2021 season. Ballcorps General Manager, Garrett Fahrmann, told Madison city council members on Monday the revenue to the city totaled $1,246,877.48.

“We are so proud of the Trash Panda team for thriving during the pandemic, and solidifying economic growth in our area,” Madison Mayor Paul Finley said. “While 2021 was a huge success, we can’t wait for a full 2022 season at Toyota Field.”

With only 48 home games in 2021 due to the pandemic, the Trash Panda team still broke records and led Double-A attendance while ranking in the top 10 in all of Minor League baseball. Toyota Field hosted full crowds with nearly 275,000 fans attending games throughout the season. The 2022 season will host 69 home games, with the home opener scheduled for April 12 against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

The city contracted Warren Averett CPAs and Advisors to conduct a detailed review of the revenues reported to the city for the year. The firm confirmed the accuracy of BallCorps’ report to the city in a report. Click here to download a pdf copy of the report.
