$0.00-Fee Records
The annual chart reports $0 for 2001 and 2014. A $0.00 publicly reported Team Entry Fee does not necessarily mean no operational activity occurred. The dataset does not impute unsupported local fees.

Direct, Associated & Combined
DIRECT
Pages 1-2: records listing Love Hatbox Field alone as the event facility.
ASSOCIATED
Page 3: records identifying Love Hatbox Field within a multi-facility configuration.
COMBINED
Page 4: direct Primary Facility activity plus associated multi-facility activity.
Association is not allocation.
Multi-facility event activity identifies documented facility association. It does not establish how teams, games, entry fees, officials, revenues, or other activity were allocated among the individual facilities.
What the Financial Measure Means
Calculated Team Entry Fees are analytical measurements derived from publicly available USSSA information. They are not, by themselves, verified revenue, gross receipts, facility income, municipal revenue, director compensation, profit, taxable income, bank deposits, net proceeds, gate revenue, concession revenue, or audited financial statements.
Operational Records Require Careful Interpretation
Tournament Activity
The facility report organizes documented tournament records by facility, municipality, director, season, sport, teams, minimum games, minimum officials, and publicly posted fees.
League Activity
The direct Love Hatbox Field population identifies 498 league teams and $7,235 in League Calculated Team Entry Fees.
$0.00 Public Fee Listings
A $0.00 public Team Entry Fee field is recorded as $0.00. It does not automatically establish that no operational activity occurred and does not justify inventing a local fee.
Documented Associations in the Report
Geographic Reach
The direct population is associated with Muskogee. The associated multi-facility population identifies the municipality combination Muskogee, Sallisaw. The combined report identifies two municipality groupings and two counties.
Tournament Directors
The direct population identifies Marie Gassaway ($957.78K), Neil Hays ($44.70K), and Ted Cox ($16.14K). The associated multi-facility population identifies Chris Johnson ($3.89K). These are calculated activity concentrations, not verified personal income or compensation.

Love Hatbox Field — Research Synthesis
Love Hatbox Field's direct documented USSSA activity is overwhelmingly baseball by calculated entry-fee value. Pages 1-2 identify $1,018,614 in direct Calculated Team Entry Fees, including $943,318 baseball and $75,296 softball, together with 6,520 teams, 14,926 minimum games, 26,869 minimum official assignments, three directors, one municipality, and one county. League records add 498 teams and $7,235 in calculated league Team Entry Fees.
The highest displayed total annual season is 2008 at $145.87K, which is also the highest displayed baseball season at $128.21K. The highest displayed softball season is 2016 at $26.04K. Marie Gassaway represents the largest direct director concentration at $957.78K, followed by Neil Hays at $44.70K and Ted Cox at $16.14K.
Page 3 identifies a separate associated population in which Love Hatbox Field appears with Sallisaw Sports Complex. That multi-facility configuration totals $3,885 in Calculated Team Entry Fees, all identified as softball, with 18 teams, 47 minimum games, and 94 minimum official assignments. The report associates those records with Muskogee and Sallisaw and tournament director Chris Johnson.
Page 4 combines the direct and associated populations into a broad documented activity footprint of $1,022,499 in Calculated Team Entry Fees, $943,318 baseball, $79,181 softball, 6,538 teams, 14,973 minimum games, and 26,963 minimum official assignments. This combined footprint reflects records involving Love Hatbox Field; it does not establish that every component of the multi-facility activity occurred exclusively at that facility.
