Last month's announcement of a 10-year sponsorship and naming rights agreement means the newly named Scheels USA Youth Sports Complex will remain a major player in sports tourism's future. Design/Build • General Contractor – Commercial – Agricultural – Industrial Turning two When it comes to hosting sporting events and the tourism that goes with it, Ten Haken says Northeast Wisconsin scores a double play by offering two key factors in the game: Facilities and volunteers. "Our facilities are better than an average community our size has to offer," says Ten Haken, pointing to the newly renovated Fox Cities stadium and the USA Youth Sports Complex. "Our love of sports carries down to taking pride in showing great hospitality to visitors," he adds. Those two things combined make Northeast Wisconsin a strong contender in a field which Ten Haken says is only going to grow in the future. "It's a trend that's taking off as communities across the country are seeing the value of promoting their sports facilities and their communities too," he says. w w w. i n s i g h t o n b u s i n e s s . c o m (920) 498-9300 | baylandbuildings.com | M a y 2 013 • Insight | 31
