The Capital City is set to address developments surrounding the Newfoundland Growlers this afternoon. St. John’s Sports and Entertainment has unveiled previously undisclosed financial details stemming from a resolution agreement with Deacon Sports and Entertainment following the Growlers’ temporary eviction from Mary Brown’s Centre in 2021.
Earlier withheld information from the statements spanning 2019 to 2021 is now slated for release, following a recent Supreme Court ruling mandating the unredacted disclosure.
