Thanks Jenny for the kind words. You were always smiling and a pleasure to meet.
The Ballpark Village 9-Ball Invitational is a full on pro event played on 9' tables. All equipment will be the best of the best. As those agreements are ironed out, they will be released accordingly. Quality will not be spared.
The web page is almost ready, but the basics are here @
BallParkVillage9Ball.com
The tournament space is as unique and dynamic as it gets for pro pool.
Ballpark Village is a stadium-like atmosphere where the players will be treated just like the pros in other major sports. The Player's Lounge has full-view of the tournament activities, along with a full private bar and food service, yet gives the player privacy to relax and enjoy the experience.
Spectator viewing will be simply spectacular, with balcony views of all tables from any seat. The 40 ft video screen will feature the best shots from any table. Plus, there are four 8' video boards, four 6 ft screens, and a dozen other 40" TVs.
Food and beverage services are available at your seat in the tournament arena (FOX Sports Midwest Live!), with 3 massive bars and 6 restaurant opportunities including PBR Bar, Howl at the Moon, Budweiser Brew House, and Cardinal Nation, with views into Busch Stadium.
The host hotel is the
Hilton St. Louis at The Ballpark. The room rates will be fantastic for a downtown property in the holiday season. Booking will be available within the next week. And there is no need for a car with Ballpark Village only a 200 step walk door-to-door. Downtown St. Louis will also be in full holiday mode. And of course, there's the Gateway Arch.
We look forward to creating something truly special. Our main man and
Tournament Director Rocky McElroy will field all player, rules, and tournament related questions. He's awesome and available at the players disposal,
