No Ticket Sales, No Games, No Money For Joliet

The Joliet Slammers were the topic of conversation last night at the Joliet Council Meeting. The team has not made the first half of their $75,000 annual rent payment to the city of Joliet that was due in March. The Slammers have not played a game this year as the Frontier League is shutdown because of COVID-19.

With no revenue coming in from fans not attending games, no concession sales, no rentals and no advertising revenue, the Slammers are struggling, like a lot of other business, to pay the city, their utilities insurance and staff salaries .
