This May Be The Last Season Of Brazos Valley Bombers Baseball & Twin Cities Toucans Soccer In Bryan

This may be the last season of Brazos Valley Bombers baseball and Twin Cities Toucans soccer in Bryan. The owner of the Bombers and Toucans says the city of Bryan wants to terminate an agreement to use the city ballpark after this season, one year before the current contract expires. Uri Geva tells WTAW News he is interested in continuing a relationship that began in 2006. The Bryan city council has scheduled a special meeting for Thursday (July 18) at 3 p.m. to consider terminating the agreement. Geva asks for Bombers and Toucans fans to share their experiences during the public comment portion of the council meeting. Geva told WTAW News “It just feels like a very sad moment from a decision making for council, but it can still be reversed. It’s not too late to save the Bombers in the 2025 season that can be played in Bryan.” Geva said he was notified last Thursday (July 11) about the city’s intent to terminate the agreement. Noting renovations at the Bombers ballpark preceded the city of Bryan’s addition of new youth baseball fields next door and the development of Midtown Park, Geva told WTAW News “as a catalyst of this whole redevelopment, it’s sad that we’re the ones that are getting kicked out to the curb because there’s a shiny new object that the city wants to have somebody else take control over without thinking about the repercussions of what it could mean to not having the Bombers or the Toucans playing their home games in Bryan for the 2025 season”. In an e-mail Geva provided to WTAW News that he sent to the city manager and a deputy city manager, Geva wrote “In a world where commitments are seldom honored, we hold onto the hope that the city staff can stand behind their contractual commitments and the word they gave us eight years ago. We believe that forgoing any future plans for just one more year to ensure promises are kept would not only honor the agreement but also reinforce the trust and goodwill that have been the foundation of our longstanding relationship with the City of Bryan.” Geva’s e-mail also says “If the City of Bryan is determined to prevent the Bombers from finishing our current lease, which ends in December 2025, please inform us by July 19, 2024, so that we can inform the Texas Collegiate League we will more than likely not be able to play in the 2025 season due to this. Alternatively, if the City of Bryan can confirm the Bombers abilities to rent the facility for their home games at a reasonable rate (similar to other TCL teams), while retaining the ability to sell concessions during the season and having the abilities to sell annual sponsorship for all signage in the facility (not including naming rights) the Bombers could continue to call Bryan home. We are able and available to meet about these details any time to ensure the Bombers can communicate to the league they have a place to play by the end of this week.” Geva’s e-mail also stated if he is not allowed to complete the current lease, “a discussion about the compensation the city would owe the team for the significant improvements made to the park along with the damages to canceling the Bombers ’25 season would need to arise and we will defer to legal council to handle all of those discussions.” As of July 16, the Bombers have six more regular season home games and one home playoff game.
