 Potential site design elements for RSCAWhat are the Components of a Regional Center?
As sports tourism is a competitive business, Minnesota must compete with other states in order to attract out-of-state sports visitors. First, regional sports centers must possess sports facilities that are high quality and have a significant size. A soccer family will not likely travel 200 miles to a two field complex. Second, families are attracted to good hotels and restaurants. These amenities compliment a good sport tournament. Third, access to shopping and other tourism attractions add value to the sports destination. Finally, the regional sports center must have a sports commission in place to develop and market events.

How is Sport Tourism Generated?
All sports are not created equal in their ability to be part of a sports tourism strategy. In Minnesota there are over 100 sports played. However, 10% of the sports represent 80% of the participation numbers. Therefore, regional centers need to focus on the sports with the greatest populations and that have the greatest propensity to travel. In short, team sports such as soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball, baseball and wrestling generate the most tourism economic impact.

Most often asked questions:

1. Why a local tax during our current economic conditions?

2. How important are amateur sporting events to Marshall?

3. If we receive only a couple of million state funded dollars for the RASC/MERIT projects instead of the $6 million why not wait until we get full funding?

4. Why should other sports organizations and event sponsors support these projects?
