WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT REVOLUTION
“I have known Dave Whinham since he started in our industry in the late 1980’s. I like him. I trust him. Dave’s Revolution concept is very interesting to us because it addresses the key areas that have often been problematic in minor league and niche sports - management expertise, cost of acquisitions, and operating costs. The ability for the owner/operator to present a variety of sports and entertainment events is such an advantage. I am excited for Dave, and about the prospect of hosting Revolution teams and events in our venues.”
-- Mr. James Lites, President, Hicks Sports Marketing Group (operators of Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, Liverpool Football Club)
"Too many leagues have lost their discipline for the policies and practices which drive the economic models. When teams consistently lose money or cost too much to attend by their fans, closure is usually not too far behind. This instability does not serve the fans, the team owners, or the markets they call home. Revolution has designed a unique concept of packaging entertainment and modeling fiscal discipline into the fabric of the company. I believe that all constituencies win as a result."
-- Mr. Mark Hamister, Chairman and CEO of The Hamister Group, parter in Revolution Enterprises LLC, and a former Arena Football League owner
“The economic models associated with most niche and minor league sports teams have deteriorated to an unworkable state. The Revolution approach makes sense because the models match the products and the franchisor provides meaningful management assistance. I know from my experience with Dave Whinham that he brings the knowledge, relationships, energy, and leadership required to make the Revolution work.”
-- Mr. Rob Tilliss, Founder and Chief Executive, Inner Circle Sports
"As we continue our rapid growth, we will look to our wonderful partners in Revolution to help us secure teams and additional events for our venues and clients."
-- Mr. John Page, Chief Operating Officer, Global Spectrum
"The Team has created a simply powerful idea based on a business model that will flourish. I have joined The Revolution based on my belief in the system of combining realistic economics with great sports entertainment events. The principals of Revolution Enterprises LLC have proven abilities in the areas of selling teams, selling tickets, selling sponsorship, and, perhaps most importantly, teaching others to sell."
-- Mr. Craig Bender, President and CEO of Broadcast Selections & Sales Inc. and a partner in Revolution Enterprises LLC
“My vision of the future of Revolution is that it will hopefully develop to a point that the Revolution brand is acknowledged and recognized throughout the country as being the premier brand in minor league and niche sports. Our hope is that, because of the affordability of acquisition and the benefits of our financial operating model, every city in North America will be able to have a Revolution franchise.”
-- Dr. Eric Margenau, Founding Partner of Revolution Enterprises LLC and long-time minor league sports owner/operator
