HILTI PARKUSSSA 2001–2026 Executive Research
A City of Tulsa public athletic facility examined through historical USSSA tournament participation, team-entry fees, event-host concentration, modeled tournament economics, facility infrastructure, and the distinction between public ownership, management, reservations, user groups, and event operations.
Facility Research Profile
A City of Tulsa Youth Baseball & Softball Complex
Hilti Park is located at 12148 E. 51st St., Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146. The supplied research describes it as a 15-field youth baseball and softball complex supporting youth league play, tournaments, practices, and field rentals.
Within the Hidden Valley research, Hilti Park is particularly significant as a historical USSSA baseball tournament location. The facility-specific dataset identifies approximately 4,800 tournament team entries and roughly $1.02 million in identified team-entry fees.
The aggregate graphics are labeled 2001–2026, while the annual team-entry-fee chart visibly records activity primarily in 2003–2007 and 2011–2022. Accordingly, this page distinguishes the broader research scope from the years in which visible annual activity appears on the chart.
Public Facility
Ownership, Management & Financial Attribution Are Different Questions
Hilti Park is analyzed as a City of Tulsa public athletic facility. The supplied facility research also identifies The Diamonds at LaFortune in a reservation-management role and references coordination with Tulsa Parks and local user groups such as Tulsa Little League.
Those roles should not be treated as proof of ownership or as automatic evidence that a particular organization received all tournament-generated revenue.

Facility Governance
Public Ownership, Reservations, User Groups & Tournament Operations
A central research requirement is to keep these institutional roles separate unless primary records demonstrate that they overlap.
City of Tulsa / Tulsa Parks
Hilti Park is treated in this research as a City of Tulsa public athletic facility. Public ownership creates legitimate questions concerning facility-use agreements, maintenance obligations, capital improvements, public access, rental policies, and financial reporting.
The Diamonds at LaFortune
The supplied facility research identifies The Diamonds at LaFortune in the reservation-management process for Hilti Baseball Fields. That role should be distinguished from legal ownership and from event-level financial receipt.
Local User Groups
The supplied research references coordination with local groups such as Tulsa Little League. User-group participation may involve programming, scheduling, league operations, or field use, but the exact contractual structure requires primary agreements.
USSSA Tournament Hosts / Directors
Tournament-host names in the dataset identify event-level associations. Host identity does not establish personal receipt, ownership, profit, or control of all tournament-generated money.
Research Attribution Standard: Ownership, facility management, reservation administration, user-group participation, tournament-host identity, and actual financial receipt are treated as separate evidentiary categories unless primary documentation establishes otherwise.
Facility Documentation
Physical Condition & Public Infrastructure
The supplied photographs provide a contemporary visual record of the complex and should not be interpreted as proof of historical condition throughout the entire research period.
USSSA Research
Tournament Activity & Economic Reconstruction
The facility dataset reconstructs Hilti Park's USSSA footprint through team entries, published team-entry fees, sport classification, event hosts, and modeled ancillary tournament economics.
Longitudinal Benchmark
Annual USSSA Team-Entry Fees
The annual chart provides the clearest view of Hilti Park's historical activity. Visible bars are concentrated in 2003–2007 and 2011–2022. The strongest visible period is approximately 2012–2015, when annual team-entry-fee activity approaches the mid-$90,000 range.
The absence of visible bars in 2008–2010 and after 2022 is itself a research finding. It does not prove that no baseball activity occurred at the facility; it means that those years are not visibly represented by team-entry-fee bars in this facility chart.
USSSA Team Participation
Approximately 4,800 tournament team entries; not necessarily 4,800 unique teams.
Sport Classification
The identified USSSA team-entry-fee activity is baseball.
Modeled Gate Activity
Approximately $1.75 million in modeled admission activity.
Modeled Concession Activity
Approximately $880,000 in modeled tournament-related concession activity.
Modeled Umpire Compensation
Approximately $730,000 in modeled umpire-fee activity.
Estimated Event Income
Approximately $3.6–$3.7 million in modeled cumulative event income.
Modeled Event Net
Approximately $2.8 million in modeled net event activity.
Modeled Economic Impact
Approximately $2.3 million in modeled broader economic activity.
Facility Research Dashboard
Composite view of the principal Hilti Park USSSA research measures.
Important: Team-entry fees and team counts are the strongest facility-specific transactional measures in this page. Gate, concession, umpire, event-income, event-net, and economic-impact values are modeled research measures unless independently corroborated by primary financial records.
Tournament Host Analysis
Concentration of Identified USSSA Activity
The Event Host graph identifies several tournament-host or director categories associated with Hilti Park, including Brad Mueller, Bryan Nolen, Lynn Gibson, Marie Gassaway, Matt Barnard, Rick Glasser, Ted Cox, and Travis Kelly.
Marie Gassaway is the dominant displayed category, visually associated with approximately $645,000 in team-entry-fee activity. Relative to the approximately $1.02 million facility total, that represents roughly 63% of the identified amount.
This is a significant concentration finding because it shows that a substantial share of the reconstructed Hilti Park USSSA activity is associated with one event-host category.
What This Does — and Does Not — Establish
The graph establishes an association between a host/director category and identified tournament-entry-fee activity.
It does not establish that the named person personally received, retained, profited from, or controlled the entire associated amount. Those questions require event contracts, payment flows, tournament settlements, tax records, bank records, or comparable primary financial evidence.

Hilti Park is documented in the supplied research as a 15-field City of Tulsa youth baseball and softball complex.
02
The facility research identifies The Diamonds at LaFortune in the reservation-management role and references coordination with local user groups.
03
Approximately 4,800 USSSA tournament team entries are associated with the facility dataset.
04
Approximately $1.02 million in team-entry fees provides the strongest facility-specific financial benchmark.
05
The identified USSSA entry-fee activity is baseball.
06
Visible annual activity is concentrated in 2003–2007 and 2011–2022 rather than continuously through 2026.
07
The strongest visible annual period occurs around 2012–2015.
08
Marie Gassaway is the dominant event-host category at roughly 63% of identified team-entry-fee activity; this does not establish personal receipt or profit.
09
The absence of visible activity after 2022 warrants additional research into whether events ceased, moved, were reclassified, or are absent from the current facility dataset.
Next Phase of Research
Questions Requiring Additional Public Records
Facility Agreements & Operational Control
Future records should include City of Tulsa leases, licenses, operating agreements, MOUs, facility-use agreements, reservation agreements, maintenance obligations, field-use rights, insurance requirements, and capital-improvement responsibilities.
Financial Flow & Tournament Accounting
Additional records should identify who collected and retained team-entry fees, gate admissions, concessions, facility rentals, lighting charges, and other tournament-related payments, along with any municipal revenue-sharing or remittance requirements.
Priority research questions: explain the apparent gaps in visible annual USSSA activity, reconcile event-host concentration, identify the operative City/user-group agreements, and trace actual financial flows for representative tournaments.

Research Methodology
Documented, Calculated & Modeled Evidence
Documented / Calculated
Documented or source-derived evidence includes facility location, 15-field description, baseball/softball use, rental and tournament use, reservation-management statements, facility imagery, identified tournaments, team-entry fees, and event-host categories.
Calculated measures include cumulative entry-fee totals, team entries, annual comparisons, sport distribution, and host/director concentration.
Modeled / Estimated
Modeled measures include gate activity, concessions, umpire costs where not directly documented, event income, event net, and broader economic impact.
These values are analytical estimates and should not be represented as audited financial transactions unless supported by corresponding primary financial records.
