This is Buying Sandlot — the only newsletter that focuses solely on the business of youth sports.

As part of Buying Sandlot Premium, we are preparing ongoing research based on Buying Sandlot reporting and first-party data.

How big is the current youth sports facilities boom?

Well, there is almost $10B in investment among 67 in the active pipeline. And that doesn’t include the small subsets of facilities with no reported figures.

  • $9.7B total investment out of 67 facilities actively under development

    • Mean: $227M

    • Median: $53M

  • 4.6M of indoor sq ft

  • 25k acres of outdoor fields

The mean is skewed heavily by 10-figure projects in Detroit, Baton Rouge, and Florida. Our full database includes location, investment accounts, funding types and more.
