I want to thank you for bringing such an incredible park to League City (Texas).
Big League Dreams has made it possible to provide a new quality youth baseball
opportunity and a very high quality facility! We pack the park full of very
happy kids, excited and amazed parents and many local teams from the League
City and Houston areas as well as teams from Austin to Louisiana. Our
association has grown from 20 teams to 120 teams in a two month period."

It is my pleasure to say that our Big League Dreams Sports Park has truly been
a hit! Practically each weekend, visiting teams play in tournaments that have
enhanced our economic development by bringing thousands of tourists to town
each year. Big League Dreams Sports Park has brought countless television
events (Pepsi All-Star Softball Game televised on NBC), corporate events
and even a concert featuring Wynonna Judd. Bringing Big League Dreams to
Cathedral City is one of the best things that the city has ever done.

Our league's experience with Big League Dreams has been very positive. The park
is clean, well run, and much safer than the unsecured county park on which we
used to play. The fields (which are maintained by Big League Dreams) are much
better than any city/county field we have ever played on. The number of teams
playing PONY Baseball in our district has grown from six to more than fifty since
the opening of Big League Dreams Jurupa. PONY Baseball is thriving at Big League
Dreams.

We held our Big League Dreams Redding Grand Opening in July 2004 and could not
be happier with the park. It has exceeded our expectations and is truly a
gathering place for families in Redding. We firmly believe that this
public-private partnership has been one of the best decisions we have made.
Over 200,000 people have gone through the gates in the first six months since
opening. It is with great pleasure that I give my highest recommendation to
Big League Dreams.

The Palm Springs Classic has quickly become one of the premier NCAA collegiate
fastpitch tournaments in the country and a huge part of that excitement comes
from playing at the Big League Dreams complex in Cathedral City. The elite
teams in the country have loved the facility and look forward each year to the
tremendous atmosphere that is created in a complex like Big League Dreams. The
three-time Gold Medal USA OLYMPIC Team loved playing in the venue and is making
plans to return on an annual basis.

"It's a facility that
serves the need in our community for additional
ball fields and other recreational amenities.
But first and foremost, it will help us bridge
the funding gap that will be created in Chino
Hills as development dollars go away."

"...ultimately my goal
(for bringing in Big League Dreams) was to
provide the area with a top quality recreational
facility."

"It is in fact being
maintained and managed at a higher level than
what we could do from a government side, yet our
taxpayers do not have the burden of paying those
costs."

"A Big League Dreams
Park with its controls is much preferred for a
