Florida Sports is big business:
the state boasts nearly 1,800 annual events
that generate $3.1 billion in economic impact.
Incredible as it may sound, a recent Economic impact of Sports survey concluded that 13.3 million visited the state solely to enjoy sports and recreation. Are we maximizing this dynamic area's potential? Sports fan or not, this program offers an informative and thought-provoking discussion. We have gathered an expert panel to provide their perspective and answer your questions.
