Page 3 - Associated Multi-Facility / Satellite Activity
Page 3 excludes the stand-alone Love Hatbox Field population and identifies one multi-facility configuration: Love Hatbox Field + Sallisaw Sports Complex. The associated population displays $3,885.00 in Calculated Team Entry Fees, entirely softball.
The municipality association is Muskogee + Sallisaw, and the Page 3 director is Chris Johnson at approximately $3.89K.
Page 4 - Combined Documented Facility Activity Footprint
Pages 1-2 Direct Activity + Page 3 Associated Multi-Facility Activity = Page 4 Combined Documented Facility Activity Footprint. The broadest documented footprint is $1,022,499.00 in Calculated Team Entry Fees: $943,318.00 baseball and $79,181.00 softball.
The combined facility chart is dominated by stand-alone Love Hatbox Field at approximately $1.02M, with the Love Hatbox Field + Sallisaw Sports Complex configuration at $3.89K. The municipality chart similarly displays Muskogee at approximately $1.02M and Muskogee/Sallisaw at $3.89K. The combined director chart is led by Marie Gassaway ($957.78K), followed by Neil Hays ($44.70K), Ted Cox ($16.14K), and Chris Johnson ($3.89K).
Direct / Associated / Combined Explainer
Records listing Love Hatbox Field independently. Multi-facility combinations are excluded.
Records identifying Love Hatbox Field within a multi-site configuration. Association does not establish allocation.
Both analytical populations together - the broadest documented facility activity footprint.
Calculated Team Entry Fee Methodology
Calculated Team Entry Fees are analytical measurements derived from publicly available USSSA information. Without independent financial documentation, they do not establish actual payments collected, gross receipts, facility or municipal revenue, director compensation, profit, taxable income, bank deposits, net proceeds, gate or concession revenue, or audited financial results.
Tournament, League & $0.00-Fee Activity
The direct population includes 498 league teams and $7,235.00 in displayed League Team Entry Fees. These figures document participation and publicly displayed pricing but do not independently establish collections or disposition of funds.
The report also displays $0 total activity in some annual records, including 2014 and 2001. A $0.00 public listing is preserved as reported and is not replaced with an unsupported estimate.
Geographic & Director Network
The direct Primary Facility population is associated with Muskogee and one county. The associated multi-facility population adds records identifying Muskogee + Sallisaw and expands the combined footprint to two municipality categories and two counties. These records establish geographic association, not ownership, employment, contractual relationships, revenue sharing, or allocation of proceeds.
The direct director population includes Marie Gassaway, Neil Hays, and Ted Cox. Chris Johnson appears in the associated multi-facility population.

Facility-Specific Research Summary
Love Hatbox Field has a documented direct USSSA activity population of $1,018,614.00 in Calculated Team Entry Fees across 6,520 teams, with baseball accounting for $943,318.00 and softball $75,296.00. The direct population is associated with Muskogee and is led in the director chart by Marie Gassaway. The report identifies 498 league teams and $7,235.00 in League Team Entry Fees.
The highest displayed direct total season is 2008 at $145.87K; 2008 is also the highest displayed baseball season at $128.21K, while 2016 is the highest displayed softball season at $26.04K. Page 3 identifies a comparatively small associated multi-facility population of $3,885.00 involving Love Hatbox Field + Sallisaw Sports Complex, entirely softball. Page 4 produces a combined documented footprint of $1,022,499.00 across 6,538 teams.
The associated configuration is subject to the report's controlling principle that association does not establish allocation. The public records establish that the two facilities were associated with the same event population but do not determine how the $3,885.00, 18 teams, 47 minimum games, or 3,760 minimum officials were distributed between Love Hatbox Field and Sallisaw Sports Complex.
