More Density coming to Cedarbridge while stadium plans all year entertainment.
Fox reports The Lakewood BlueClaws have been sold to Shore Town Baseball, a newly formed group headed by minor league baseball veteran Art Matin. The team plans to stay and the owners said they are investing in Lakewood. 

Its not clear if the 50 year contract signed between Lakewood township the Lakewood Industrial Commission and previous owners will continue with the same terms.

 “We will continue to use the stadium as fully as we can for community organizations,” Matin said. “We want to provide entertainment and youth baseball events.”

The New Jersey team announced the sale Thursday without disclosing details of the deal with the previous owners, American Baseball Ventures. Matin was previously the CEO of Mandalay Baseball Properties, which owned and operated nine separate franchises over its existence.
The BlueClaws, a Philadelphia Phillies’ affiliate since their inception in 2001, will remain with the Phillies. The two organizations signed a new player development contract last year that runs at least through the 2020 season.

“We look forward to continuing the tradition of providing fun family entertainment and exciting professional baseball for decades to come here on the Jersey Shore. Martin said the new ownership will look for ways to improve the game experience and will reach out to fans to see what ideas they have to make visiting the park an even better experience. read more HERE
