Committee OKs five-year lease with Granite Diamond LLC to keep Silver Knights at Holman Stadium
Summary
The committee recommended final passage of a successor concession agreement with Granite Diamond LLC, extending an initial five-year lease for the Silver Knights at Holman Stadium at $1,000 per game; team owner John Creeden described community programming and upcoming events including a July All-Star Game.
The Finance Committee considered R-26031 authorizing the city to enter a successor concession agreement with Granite Diamond LLC to continue housing the National Silver Knights at Holman Stadium. The mayor and staff summarized the negotiated lease; Lisa Foto participated by Zoom to describe terms. The initial term is five years with traditional mutual five-year renewal options.
Lisa Foto and city staff said the city retains the right to schedule other events at Holman Stadium. The rent under the agreement remains $1,000 per game. John Creeden, owner of the Silver Knights, described the team's long-standing presence (entering its 16th season), community events such as a school opening next Wednesday and an expected 60,000 attendees this season, and the club hosting the Futures League All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 21.
The clerk called the roll and the committee approved the successor concession agreement on a roll-call vote. Creeden thanked the committee and city staff for their support.
