Yesterday, the Camden Riversharks officially announced they’ll cease operations, basically because they’re not doing well financially at all. The official reason they listed as the inability to come to terms on another lease agreement. Here’s their statement on their website:
The Camden Riversharks announced today that the club will cease operations immediately due to the inability to reach an agreement on lease terms with the ballpark’s owner, the Camden County Improvement Authority (“CCIA”).
Campbell’s Field has been home since inception in 2001, and the ballpark has twice been named Baseball America’s Ballpark of the Year. Over 3.5 million fans have attended Riversharks games over the past 15 years.
We would like to thank our partners and fans for supporting the club for 15 memorable seasons. We did everything we could to keep affordable, family entertainment alive and well in Camden.
It’s been real, sharks of the river.
