11/19/2023 0 Comments Learfield sports digital media kit![]() ![]() Our largest office is in New York, and we have people spread out in 31 states throughout the country now but Philly is our headquarters. We put our headquarters here in Philadelphia, selfishly, because I live here. I have an amazing wife, three kids, and we live in Philadelphia now after many years in New York. I spent a bunch of time and got married in Chicago. I had to switch out of lacrosse with all my friends being amazing lacrosse players and me sitting on the bench. I played football and basketball and switched between tennis and lacrosse because lacrosse was a huge thing in Baltimore. I have played sports my whole youth in high school, all three sports. I went with my grandfather and my father to the games at the old Memorial Stadium and that hurt. The Colts are gone, and I’m this kid like every Halloween picture in a Colts uniform. The evening paper landed on our doorstep. Ten years old, middle of the night, they disappear. It gives me a little bit of an age factor for you on that. I grew up in Baltimore and spent my early days as a Baltimore Colts fan. I’m so excited to learn about everything going on at Playfly. My organized sports career ended at that point. My career ended in twelfth grade when I decided that I didn’t want to practice every afternoon in college and said I wanted more free time. I am the least qualified to be the champion of the basketball shooting contests at Playfly Sports. We’ve got people with World Series rings and Stanley Cup rings. They may even pull it off again this 2022. We have AJ Bramlett, who was on the Arizona National Championship team a while back. The president of our college and high school division won the national championship with Stanford Basketball in 1992. We have some pretty significant sports leaders inside of our company. I would only be trying to influence the audience because I’m the CEO. I would say I am but that would be a lie. Who is the office champ at the free-throw shooting? We wanted to use some of the histories here in what we built. Those beams are pieces of the beams that we cut out for the opening of the basketball court. If you look at the top of these offices, you can see the beams. I even tried to use some of the reclaimed wood. It gives you a little bit of a sense of the spot. It overlooks three floors down, which is fun. We’ve got this cool Skybox conference room where we have meetings. We have offices surrounding that on the bottom. You can see the structure as I take you around on the basketball court down in the middle. A lot of times, we put the games up there that we want to watch during the day while we are working. We’ve got our Jumbotron on the back, which is not on but a big, huge screen to allow us to project scores. Each of the offices sits surrounding the open space where we have our basketball court. We are doing some painting now of the space. We’ve got the basketball court here, which is pretty cool. We carved the hole in the middle of the floor for our basketball court. I will take you out to the main floor here and give you a sense of this. Even Dick Clark at his local Bandstand events was here in the late ’50s when he was a Philadelphia guy before he went national and moved to LA for American Bandstand, the TV show.Īnyhow, it’s got this cool history and these interesting, neat metal and brick bones here. It was a roller rink in the ’40s and ’50s. They turned it into a pretty cool picture house. It was built in 1913 as a live stage theater about ten years before movies came out. It comes with the culture and community of Playfly Sports and what we are all about, which we will get into. We are not even 100% finished but I’m so excited to be here in the space.
