SportsOhio management reports growing participation and a $262,000 operating surplus for 2025
Summary
SFC, the facility manager for SportsOhio, reported staffing hires, renewed programming and partnerships, and operating net income for 2025 of a little over $262,000 (operating funds only). City and SFC said capital improvements (HVAC, pump system, Wi‑Fi, cameras) are planned and will be considered in future supplemental budgets.
Kendall Blake and SFC representatives updated council on SportsOhio operations and finances.
Kendall Blake introduced Joe Bauserman as the new general manager. "Joe brings a unique blend of leadership, operational expertise, and athletic experience to the role," Blake said. Bauserman thanked the council and said he looked forward to growing programming.
Scott Rogers of SFC described hiring progress (maintenance, food & beverage, facility managers), programming growth (145 teams registered for the current session; 439 games played through December; over 1,400 rental hours) and partnerships (Rumpke, Visit Dublin). He said SFC has been operating within the approved budget and that "to date, the net income for 2025 was a little over $262,000" (operating funds only). Staff noted capital needs—HVAC improvements, pump system upgrades for the golf course, Wi‑Fi improvements—will be brought forward for supplemental funding and that staff will evaluate quotes before requesting transfers.
What happens next: SFC will continue hiring, finalize programming schedules, pursue sponsorships and help with master planning and rebranding; the city will evaluate capital needs and may include requests in an upcoming Q1 supplemental.
