Lake Olmstead Stadium is owned by Richmond County and was built in 1995. There are no luxury suites or club seats in the facility. The Georgia Crown Grill and Bar is an open-air restaurant at the ballpark. At present it has no formal seating, other than nearby picnic tables, but it is evolving into a full restaurant.
The city has given the Greenjackets permission to sell naming rights to Lake Olmstead Stadium. The team expects to earn $100,000 annually from the 10-year sale and will give the city 25 percent of the proceeds the first year, then 35 percent the following years.
The team pays $50,000 a year in rent and spends $175,000 a year on maintenance. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, MinorLeagueVenueReport, Professional Sports)
