St. Louis recently showcased its vibrant sports culture as fans filled its streets this past weekend. Besides the major league teams that are central to the city's sports identity, smaller sporting events like the Frozen Four, the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship, are also bringing fresh enthusiasts, thanks to collaborations with Explore St. Louis and the St. Louis Sports Commission.
"A big part of our role is to amplify and expand upon the brand of St. Louis, which is anchored in sports, and make it a great sports market that offers so much more entertainment," stated Brad Dean, the new President and CEO of Explore St. Louis.
Key sports teams such as the St. Louis Cardinals, the Blues, CITY SC, and the Battlehawks continue to attract large crowds and contribute significantly to the region’s revenue. Simultaneously, other teams and tournaments provide opportunities to bolster the local economy and elevate St. Louis' reputation as a vibrant and engaged sports community.
