Rev Entertainment, based in Arlington, Texas, bought the cougars from Kane County to Bob Froehlich for an undisclosed amount.
Froehlich had the minor league team in the last decade.
The president of the forest forest commission, Bill Lenert, a republican of Sugar Grove, said that the agreement had been finalized on Friday.
“The forest reserve is very enthusiastic about the new agreement with Rev Entretainment. We believe that this will benefit the forestry reserve, to entertainment REV and also to communities,” said LENERT.
Rev Entertainment will undertake the continuation of stadium improvements, located at 34W002 Cherry Lane, Geneva, which belongs to the district of Forest Presert, said Lenert.
Froehlich’s contract with the Forest Pre -Serve district was reassigned to Rev Entertainment and extends until 2034, said Lenert.
LENERT confirmed that Froehlich was up to date on its rent payments of $ 500,000 per year at the Forest Pre -Serve district, which are now transferred to the new owner.
In 2023, cougars were in danger of canceling their 2024 season due to unpaid license fees in 2021, which finally paid $ 3,21,000 in payment – a reduction of $ 179,000 from what was due.
In a press release published on his website, Reventainment.com, the president of Rev Entertainment, Sean Decker, said: “We are honored to become the new commissioners of the County Kane cougars and we are impatient to continue the inheritance of the team in this incredible community.”
“Our vision is to rely on the rich tradition of fun family entertainment cougars by improving the experience of their faithful fans and partners while guaranteeing the long -term success of professional baseball in the county of Kane,” said Decker in the press release.
The story of the County County Cougars franchise dates from 1888, and the club has been a must on the baseball scene in the Chicago region for more than three decades since it has moved to Kane County in 1991, according to the press release.
Cougars are a member of the American Association of Professional Baseball, a basic league of the official major league. The county of Kane was a unique affiliate of six MLB franchises as a member of the Midwest League from 1991 to 2020, before joining the American Association in 2021, the statement said.
Rev Entertainment will be officially introduced on April 2 to the Northwestern Medicine Field as new owners of the Kane County Cougars – with more details to come – according to the press release.
“It was a privilege and an honor for my wife, Cheryl, and I for having possessed the cougars of the County Kane in the past 10 years,” said Froehlich in a press release. “And we could not have done so without the incredible support, care and dedication of this cougar community over the years.”
