Fan Ownership & Stock Participation

Be a Team Owner.

This isn’t merch. This isn’t a donation. This is ownership. For the first time, fans can buy a real piece of their hometown team and help lock that team into the community—permanently.

Ownership starts at $15 per share, sold in tiered increments on Wefunder.com. Closing Round One secures the town a team.

Buy Shares (Round One) How It Works FAQ

What being an owner means

You own recorded shares, within a cap designed for broad community ownership. This model is built for fans, families, and locals—not takeover money.

Round One = team secured

Hit the Round One close threshold and the franchise is awarded to the city. Miss it, and the opportunity moves on. That’s the line.

How Fan Ownership Works

The system is built to welcome working families, prevent takeover risk, and keep the team tied to its community. It’s structured for stewardship—not speculation.

  • Accessible shares
    Starting at $15/share, designed for broad local participation—not exclusivity.
  • 10,000 shares per shareholder cap
    Prevents whales from buying control. Keeps ownership distributed.
  • One vote per shareholder
    Voting rights are tied to the shareholder, not the number of shares.
  • Team stays local
    This structure is built to block flipping, leverage tactics, and relocation games.
  • Professional standards stay intact
    League oversight protects competitive integrity, finances, and stability.

What owners receive

  • Ownership record
    Documented ownership + digital record.
  • Priority access
    Tickets, events, and community activations.
  • Defined voting rights
    On specific community matters and delegate selection.
  • Transparency
    Clear governance structure and regular reporting.

Ownership Model

Balanced for legitimacy, civic alignment, and long-term stability. The point is simple: the team belongs to the people who support it.

  • Community Shareholders
    Majority ownership distributed across thousands of fans.
  • City / Municipality Stake
    Civic partnership stake to align public interest and permanence.
  • League Stewardship Protections
    Standards, continuity, and compliance enforced league-wide.
  • Locally Staffed Team Operations
    Teams are internally managed with professional staff—no “licensed operators.”

Why the city stake matters

This removes the usual stadium backlash because the public isn’t funding a private owner’s wealth. The city is aligned with a civic asset—with protections for permanence and accountability.

Public framing that wins

“This is not corporate welfare. This is a community-owned team with a civic partnership. The public is an owner—not a payer.”

Is this real ownership or just a donation?
It’s structured ownership with recorded shares through the official offering platform. This model is built for stewardship and community alignment, with guardrails to prevent speculation and control accumulation.
