When it came to SportsEvents readers selecting the perfect facilities and destinations to hold sporting events, the Frisco CVB was tapped for the first time ever for exceeding the high demands of sports event organizers and for the physical attributes of the many sporting venues in the city. PR & Communications Manager, Denise Stokes says, “Recognition of this type is extremely important to the CVB since it comes from individuals most important to our line of work.”
(According to whoever wrote this press release,) it’s easy to see why people with an interest in planning sporting events would choose Frisco as a place to watch. “Frisco has been very strategic in its pursuit of first-class sports venues and has been successful in forming partnerships with sports teams to bring these venues here,” comments Frisco CVB Executive Director, Marla Roe.
The city’s reputation for hospitality, hosting sporting events and its outstanding venues like Pizza Hut Park, the Dr Pepper StarCenter, and the Dr Pepper Ballpark has played a large part in helping to develop local tourism. The addition of the Fieldhouse at Sports Village USA will only add to that momentum.
Frisco has also become an elite training ground for world-class, champion athletes with instructional facilities headed by former Olympic medalists like Kurt Thomas and the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) owned and operated by Valerie and Anna Liukin, parents of the 2008 Olympic All-Around Gymnastics Champion Nastia Liukin.
The complete list of the 2009 Readers’ Choice Award Winners are officially listed in the January issue of SportsEvents Magazine.
