Finance Committee - 4/17/2019 Page 18
Mr. Creedon is already an operator or his company, his family, are already an operator in the league. They
own the Worcester Brave Hearts and they have come to the City, they have shown a lot of imagination and
energy down in Worcester and they have come forward and put forth a very ambitious plan regarding growing
the team and making it a successful entity. We do still believe that Silver Knights are going to beat the Brave
Hearts this year and probably every year. And we put a little bit of a wager on that with their General Manager,
down in Worcester. But! think Mr. Creedon is going to do a great job for us and will really move the team
forward based upon the discussions and everything that Mr. Creedon has done already. But with that | might
introduce Mr. Creedon and he could tell you a little bit about himself and what he intends for the team.
Mr. Creedon Good evening and thank you for your time. As the Mayor said we are already in the baseball
business; we’ve been operating a baseball team for six years now in Worcester, Massachusetts. My family
business and background, we are actually a catering company and a tent rental company. So we come at the
baseball business model from the hospitality perspective, so we are very excited about extending some warm
and plentiful hospitality to all the guests for the Nashua Silver Knights Games and that would also extend
beyond Nashua Silver Knights Games to City events as the ballpark as well.
So | am very excited at the opportunity and | want to thank Mayor Donchess and your administration; the Parks
& Rec Department, everybody has been warmly welcome and gracious and very supportive of us operating the
team. The collaboration could not have been better up to this point and | am very excited for what the future
holds near-term and long-term. So thank you all.
Mayor Donchess
And the terms of the lease are precisely the same. All we are doing is just substituting one entity for the other
in terms of the team with whom we have a relationship, or the owners of the team with whom we have a
relationship.
Alderwoman Kelly
It’s not a question, just a comment, | wanted to say welcome, excited to have you. | know that I’ve been going
to the baseball games since | moved to Nashua and | think it is a treasure that we have here in the City. My
daughter loves to go, so looking forward to seeing you.
Mr. Creedon Thank you, wonderful. | look forward to seeing you and your family, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
And they have a deal, if you offer the same thing as Worcester, if you pay $385.00 for the season, you can go
to every game and eat as much as you want for $385.00.
Alderman Laws
They haven’t met my fiance.
Alderwoman Kelly
| wouldn’t have said that in public, she may not be your fiancé anymore.
Alderman Caron
They haven’t met the Board never mind.
Mayor Donchess
It’s 22 games, right?
