Katie Morgan

Asst. Director, Ticket Operations

Texas Rangers

United States

When was your first SEAT Event?

SEAT Miami 2014

How would you describe SEAT?

"SEAT provided me the opportunity to grow my network outside of just Major League Baseball. I've been able to learn from other industry peers and provide new ideas to help my organization continue to grow."

How would you convince someone to do something they didn't want to do?

You have to make someone see the benefit it would have to them, even if it's small.

Who is your hero?

My younger brother. He's in the process of adopting two boys who's life will be infinitely changed by his selflessness.

What is one element you would like to see change in the sports industry?

I'd like to see us lead the pack in technological advances, rather than playing catch up in most areas.

What are you known for? Any particular characteristic, trait, personality?

I'm known for singing constantly, and knowing just about any song thrown at me (even if I don't know the title or artist!)

Best compliment you've ever recieved?

I was inducted into the Tarleton Sports Hall of Fame (women's basketball) - that was a great compliment of my collegiate career.

Do you have a signifiant other? Do you have children? Would you mind sharing a bit of information about your family with us?

Tanner Morgan - Husband

Tanner and I met in college. We both played college basketball, and met on the court :)

Would you be willing to eat a bowl of crickets for $40,000?

YES! Absolutely. Protein!

What I like most about the sports industry or the business of sports?

I like the small community vibe. I've made some great industry connections that have turned into life long friends.
