Sports contribute to Iowa tourism

Filed under: Amateur Sports, Articles about Sports, Basketball — Author @ 2:36 pm

The high school sports contribute greatly to east Iowa tourism. There is a population center on the east side of the state so there are some of the state’s largest schools in that area. Surprisingly, although they do carry a large share of the fans there are actually more fans from the smaller schools that do the traveling. There are lots of small schools in the area and smaller schools seem to have more devoted fans, the ones that will get up and travel long distances to watch their sons and daughters compete to carry on the school pride. Most attention is paid to the larger schools because you can reach so many more fans with one message where as with the smaller schools you need to deliver your message eight or ten time to reach the same number of people. Now what we need is a place where we can get more schools in the same place at the same time, this is where the state tournaments come in. It is a great time as a good number of all sizes of schools occupy the same space for a three or four day period. That would be the best place to concentrate sales.
