Racquetball's U.S. Open coming to Springfield in 2026
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–A year from Tuesday, the best racquetball players in the world will be in Springfield for the U.S. Open. Executive Director Jeff Collins made the announcement. And he expects up to 500 racquetball players from around the world to gather in Springfield in June of 2026. Missouri State's racquetball courts at Plaster Stadium will host preliminary matches. And the championship matches will be in a special glass-encased court at the Expo Center. Grandstands will be built around the special court. Racquetball's U.S. Open has not been held since 2022. So it'll also be a reunion for top level players. 'It's always been that kind of pilgrimage for all the racquetball players that they want to go to the U.S. Open. They want to compete to be crowned U.S. Open champion for either their age bracket or their skill division. But it's also a chance for family to get back to together,' said USA Racquetball's Stewart Solomon. 'You know the name U.S. Open is so recognizable. And in racquetball, like other sports, the prize money is doubled, tripled quadrupled. Along with that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled the points. And when all that stuff is added in there, it just matters more. And play gets more intense,' said former racquetball pro Cliff Swan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Fox Corp. grew its share prices by 3.42 percent on Monday to end at $56.60 apiece as investors bought up on news that it attracted 125 new blue-chip advertising companies since the US election. In a news interview, FOX President for Ad Sales Jeff Collins said: 'Historically, after an election, networks will see ratings dips. When we saw an acceleration in ratings, we saw new advertisers coming in.' More advertisers are now joining the network after suffering a pullback in 2018 following a comment from its former host Tucker Carlson about immigrants making the US 'poorer and dirtier' that spurred huge advertisers such as T-Mobile to pull ads from his program. Consumer goods company Procter & Gamble also stopped running ads during Carlson's nightly show but returned to the same slot in 2023 when he was ousted from Fox. According to Collins, the network is partly benefiting from a decline in the more expansive traditional television universe, with audiences preferring online. Overall, FOX ranks 8th on our list of firms that kicked off the trading week stronger.
