John Swiatek Ballpark Quotations

The fact that the project was funded by private money has made the project very challenging at times. It put a tremendous burden on the team to invest in the ballpark and to provide significant working capital. If it weren't for the generosity of our corporate partners, we would never be able to maintain the pricing we have. Washington Federal Savings Bank is the perfect example of a great corporate partner and friend of the team. Not only were they one of the founding partners, but they have also come on board as the team's presenting sponsor.

The sponsors have been great partners, and the area banking industry has been instrumental as well. The banks formed a consortium to finance the ballpark - they got creative so we could make this work. We won't forget their support and we won't forget the gracious support of all the partners who have made the Wild Things a reality!
