The Beloit Sky Carp are a Minor League Baseball team of the Midwest League and the High-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. The Sky Carp plays ball in Beloit, Wisconsin at ABC Supply Stadium. But the Sky Carp almost wasn’t. Following the 2019 season, in a preliminary list of Minor League teams, Beloit was on the list of teams that would be eliminated. Despite the uncertainty, Quint and Rishy Studer offered to purchase the team and began working with community members to secure the team a ballpark that would meet all MLB requirements for affiliated facilities. Many across Beloit rose up together, to make the team’s stadium dreams possible, with Beloit-native Diane Hendricks spearheading a group to privately fund a new downtown stadium for both the team and the community.
In just 13 months, ABC Supply Stadium was built, immediately becoming one of the finest facilities in Minor League Baseball. With the construction of ABC Supply Stadium and the team providing a sound economic plan centered around their rebrand, Major League Baseball awarded Beloit a 10-year contract to be the High-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, saving the franchise. https://www.milb.com/beloit
