As we approach the end of 2025, we want to extend our sincere appreciation for your support, partnership, and trust throughout this inaugural year for Momentous Sports.

Launching our platform has been an exciting milestone, and we are thankful to have built this foundation alongside investors, operators, and industry leaders who share our vision and our belief in sports as a catalyst for community connection and long-term impact.

To Our Partners – Your collaboration and expertise have been instrumental as we've established Momentous Sports as a platform uniting professional sports franchise ownership with strategic real estate development. Your support has helped us advance a vision that many considered unconventional.

To Our Advisors & Operators – The experienced investors, operators, and athletes who have joined us in building this platform have elevated our capabilities and expanded our thinking. Your insights continue to shape our approach and strengthen our execution.

To Our Community – You have embraced our thesis that sports franchises and real estate are no longer separate investments but strategic complements. Your confidence in this OpCo + PropCo integration validates the work we're doing and the value we're creating.

Together, we've established Momentous Sports as a platform built on institutional discipline, operational excellence, and full capital alignment targeting high-growth sports leagues and thriving communities with underdeveloped sports infrastructure.

This year marked an exciting new chapter with the official launch of Momentous Sports, built on the foundation of Magnolia Hill Partners. We’re incredibly grateful for the relationships, conversations, and shared belief that helped bring this vision to life.

Throughout the year, we had the privilege of connecting with passionate partners, operators, and communities who see the power of sports to bring people together and create lasting impact. Those connections have reinforced why this work matters and why we’re excited about what’s ahead.

Most importantly, 2025 was about the people. The trust, collaboration, and shared curiosity from this community have shaped Momentous from the very beginning, and we’re thankful for everyone who has been part of the journey so far.

The coming year promises to be particularly dynamic and exciting. The convergence of sports ownership and real estate development is accelerating, and we're positioned to meaningfully participate in this transformation.

Our 2026 priorities include:

Real Estate Development Strategy – We're advancing our approach to building sports-anchored mixed-use districts that enhance placemaking and create vibrant community ecosystems. These aren't just stadiums, they're civic landmarks.

Franchise Acquisition & Ownership – We're actively pursuing opportunities that align with our investment criteria: high-growth markets, passionate fan bases, and significant real estate development potential.

Strategic Partnerships – We're expanding our network of experienced operators, institutional investors, and strategic advisors who share our vision. 

 Market Expansion – Our goal is to identify thriving communities with strong sports culture but underdeveloped infrastructure, markets where our platform can unlock hidden value through smart capital and thoughtful development.

Thought Leadership – We’re looking ahead to continuing and expanding the conversation around sports as an asset class, not only through our own perspective, but by using our platform to spotlight the operators, investors, and community builders doing exceptional work across the industry. Highlighting those efforts is what makes this work meaningful and energizing.

As we enter the new year, we do so with clarity of purpose, ambitious goals, and deep appreciation for this community. We are energized by the opportunity to positively impact communities by building thriving sports ecosystems that drive cultural relevance and long-term economic strength, while developing civic landmarks designed to serve communities for decades to come.

From everyone at Momentous Sports, we wish you a restful and joyful holiday season. May you close 2025 with a sense of accomplishment and step into 2026 with renewed energy and purpose.

As always, we value open dialogue and collaboration. If there are ways we can support your work or learn from your perspective, we encourage you to reach out. Our leadership team welcomes the opportunity to exchange ideas, trade notes, and continue building meaningful connections across the sports and real estate ecosystem.

With gratitude and anticipation,

The Momentous Sports Team

In our last episode of the year, host Kyle Israel sits down with Marley Hughes, for a candid wrap on 2025—family-first leadership, team buildout, and the middle-market thesis powering what’s next.

This conversation is a clear-eyed look at USL Super League momentum, women’s sports, and why real-estate–wrapped projects in secondary markets create durable community value.

They reflect on September’s platform launch, the surge of partner/investor interest, and how collaboration—not competition—will shape exits, SPVs, and joint ventures in 2026. Plus, we debut a Best-of 2025 clips reel featuring standout moments from across this year’s podcasts.
