“We are thrilled to host this tournament in Clarksville for the second year,” said Visit Clarksville Board of Directors Chair Ginna Holleman. “The Visit Clarksville sales staff works hard year around to discover and recruit all types of new events that we could potentially host. Amateur sporting events showcase our city to a wide variety of people from across the nation, but those individuals also spend money at our hotels, restaurants, shops and gas stations. Those sales tax dollars help make a difference for all of our residents.”
Visit Clarksville extends a special thanks to community partners ACME Sports, Dave & Buster’s, The Roxy Regional Theatre, and the Customs House Museum & Cultural Center for their support in bringing this event to Clarksville.
Since July, Visit Clarksville has recruited or assisted with 16 sporting events, including softball, baseball, gaming, shooting, hockey, cross county, motorcross, soccer and cheerleading. These events brought 22,000 people to the city and generated spending of more than $8.5 million with 12,000 hotel room nights.
