York Revolution

What York Revolution does

The York Revolution is a privately held, for-profit professional baseball team based in York, Pennsylvania, competing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and playing home games at WellSpan Park (5 Brooks Robinson Way). Founded in 2007 and entering its 19th season in 2026, the team is a two-time defending Atlantic League champion and operates as the primary tenant and operator of a year-round indoor-outdoor venue that also hosts corporate events, weddings, and community gatherings. The team's core product is professional baseball entertainment, supplemented by a layered offering including season memberships (Full Season through 10-Game tiers), single-game and group ticketing, the all-inclusive 1741 Club premium hospitality experience (presented by Capital Blue Cross), theme nights (Pride Night, July4York America250), youth travel programs under the York Young Revolution umbrella, a children's reading incentive (Boomer's Book Club), and community ambassador outreach.\n\nThe underlying technology stack is conventional for minor league sports: Glitnir Ticketing platform for online and in-person sales, an official iOS/Android mobile app, Home Team Network (HTN) for live streaming, and SportsRadio 98.9 FM and 1350 WOYK for game broadcasts. Revenue is diversified across five streams: ticket sales (one-time and annual subscriptions), concessions and food and beverage managed by a separate hospitality subsidiary (Revolution Hospitality, led by President/GM Rob Wilson), corporate sponsorships and advertising (claimed reach of 300,000+ York County consumers), merchandise through the First Capital Federal Credit Union Team Store, and non-game-day venue rental for corporate and private events. Major commercial partners include WellSpan Health (venue naming rights), Capital Blue Cross (1741 Club presenting sponsor), Shipley Energy (ticket office naming), and an extensive roster of regional sponsors across healthcare, financial services, food retail, and utilities.\n\nThe go-to-market motion is event-driven: the team monetizes game attendance and a heavy calendar of themed events, giveaways, fireworks, and community programming to drive ticket, concession, and sponsorship revenue. Customer segments include families and the general public (primary), corporate groups and businesses (primary, served through group sales, Skybox Suites, and the 1741 Club), youth athletes and travel teams, and seniors. The team operates a year-round ticket office, has 11-50 front-office employees plus seasonal players (28-player roster), and runs a notable internship program whose alumni have gone on to roles with the Los Angeles Angels, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, Kansas City Royals, Portland Trail Blazers, and the NFL.
