"Negotiations to sell the naming rights for the new downtown baseball stadium are moving forward, and all of the luxury suites available for long-term commitments have been sold."

"Jason Freier, CEO of Fort Wayne Wizards owner Hardball Capital LLC, would not talk about the details, but said there is some idea where naming-rights talks are going.

“We are pleased with the response,” Freier said. “We would like to have something in place sooner rather than later.”"

"Freier said long-term agreements have been signed for 15 luxury suites, and one suite will be left open for single-game rentals. The team owner initially planned to build 12 suites, but increased the number to 16. The suite commitments range from five to 10 years, and there already is a waiting list."

"The stadium is expected to have about 6,000 seats, but with outfield berms and other areas for fans, it will have a capacity of 8,000 to 9,000. There will be 98 club seats on the suite level that will be available for those not interested in suites."
