Monday, 10 November, 2025

The sports landscape in the Washington, DC – Baltimore corridor is transforming faster than anywhere else in the country. New stadiums. New arenas. New entertainment districts. Billions in development reshaping not just teams — but the businesses, communities, and entire neighborhoods around them. Today we're joined by Jeff Ajluni, President of Fusion Sports and Entertainment. Jeff's remarkable career in professional sports spans over 30 years including executive leadership roles with some of the biggest teams in sports, including the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Manchester United and others. Jeff discusses the explosion of sports in the mid-Atlantic, the huge impact it has on the regional economy and the opportunities that come from it.
