NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball’s minor leagues (Including the Iowa Cubs) canceled their seasons, Tuesday, because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the head of their governing body said more than half the 160 teams were in danger of failing without government assistance or private equity injections. The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues made the long-expected announcement.

Pat O’Conner, the president of the governing body, O’Conner estimated 85-90% of revenue was related to ticket money, concessions, parking and ballpark advertising. The minors drew 41.5 million fans last year for 176 teams in 15 leagues.

In a statement, Iowa Cubs President and General Manager Sam Bernabe said “We were aware that our 2020 season had a chance to end this way, however, today’s news is still disappointing both for our fans who enjoy games at Principal Park each season, and for our staff that had already put a lot of hard work into this year. We are setting our sights on April 2021 and look forward to another great year of Minor League Baseball in Des Moines.”

The Iowa Cubs said season ticket holders will be contacted in coming days and that single-game ticket holders can receive a full credit for 2021 tickets by emailing tickets@iowacubs.com.
