Delivering Sports, Delivering Impact
Fact – The Nashville Sports Council (NSC), an
independent, non-profit organization, has
made Music City one of the country’s best
communities for hosting sporting events.
The NSC is responsible for raising its own funds,
and only through ongoing membership and private
support can Nashville compete against other cities
to host some of the nation’s premier sporting events.
Since 1992, we’ve hosted more than 120 sporting
events that have yielded a direct economic impact
of over $340 million. In fact, since 2001 with the
creation of our “Scorecard” measurement system,
NSC events have produced more than:
292,814 hotel room nights
166 hours of national television
coverage
150,316 participants
1,469,147 spectators
29,148 volunteers
5,257 credentialed media
community impact is
not a spectator sport
Fact – We can’t all be pro athletes or amateur
athletes. But we can all be part of an important
game plan for our community. The NSC is your
ticket – to making Nashville an even bigger
star and helping create a legacy for future
generations. Sports are the common thread that
binds our community together, and the NSC is the catalyst
for developing Nashville’s sports landscape. If you love your
