A RESOLUTION OF THE
LODI CITY COUNCIL SETTING GRAPE BOWL
FEES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2013
WHEREAS, more than $4 million has been spent on Grape Bowl upgrades in the past five
years, modernizing a 73 -year-old stadium by removing access barriers and adding new amenities;
and
WHEREAS, with the latest phase nearing completion, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department believes it is time to adjust stadium fees not only to reflect the added features,
but to give renters some options based on their needs; and
WHEREAS, before the installation of Field Turf in 2010, rental fees were based on
anticipated attendance, with the current rate being $120 per hour for residents and nonprofits and
$150 for nonresidents/commercial users; and
WHEREAS, the proposed fees reduce the stadium's hourly rental rate, but breaks out
charges for press box/PA system/scoreboard and field house if desired by the renter. The ticket
booth/concession building carries an additional charge, as does stadium lighting; and
WHEREAS, staff proposes ending the $1 ticket surcharge for users and will not attempt to
collect a percentage of concession revenue, except for nonresident and commercial users, who will
be required to pay 10 percent of gross revenue in addition to the hourly fee; and
WHEREAS, staff presented the proposed fees to the Recreation Commission on June 4,
2013, wherein the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt the
fees.
