Developers of TBK Sports Complex are preparing for something new across Middle Road from the major sports complex and retail hub in Bettendorf.
Developers and city officials say nothing is set in stone yet.
Opened in 2018, the 75-acre TBK Bank Sports Complex has attracted thousands of kids and families to the complex with facilities for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, gymnastics and vollyball, and offers a two-story bowling alley and arcade, fitness gym, restaurant and bar on the premises. Adjacent are a hotel and 15 retail shops and restaurants.
Dave Herrell, president of Visit Quad Cities, said the complex has more than 100,000 visitors annually.
Doug Kratz, the former CEO and a developer of the complex, said he’d like to add multi-purpose fields on the land northwest of the Forest Grove Drive and Middle Road intersection to continue to attract more regional competitions.
“We’d like to expand it, we’re a pretty big complex for the state of Iowa, and we’d like to expand to be more regional,” Kratz said.
He has ideas for other commercial development, but said it is still early in the process, and he is still doing due diligence.
Kevin Koellner, one of the developers of the Bettendorf sports complex, purchased 109.5 acres of land east of the complex and Middle Road under the name of a holding company, FG80 Holdings, in July, according to Scott County Assessor records.
