Tim Schneider, Publisher of SportsTravel Magazine, was full of praise for the NASC in the May 1997 issue. Lets take a look at what he had to say as we celebrate 20 years of #SportsTravel

"Yet another indication of the growth of the sports travel market was last month's annual meeting of the National Association of Sports Commissions - NASC in San Antonio. The attendance at this year's meeting was more than twice that of a year ago. Approximately 140 communities across the country are now members of an association that didn't even exist six years ago. NASC's leadership deserves congratulations for managing the growth of the organization in a way that keeps the group open and friendly." #SportsTravelSeason20 #SportsTravelturns20 #SportsTravel1997

In the last few years, it’s become expected that there will be something new to find on the grounds of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden at the BNP Paribas Open. This year, the big new offering—and it is big—is the expansion of Stadium 1. Already the biggest stadium in tennis by capacity (with 16,100 seats) outside Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open Tennis Championships, the expansion was added to the stadium’s exterior, with a new façade that brought with it more than 20 new eateries (including Wolfgang Puck’s #Spago restaurant, which offers seats overlooking the court) and a renovation of the suites and other hospitality spaces. #SportsTravelonAssignment

This spring marks 21 years since I first heard of the National Association of Sports Commissions - NASC. In 1996, our company was looking for ways to grow. We had acquired Association News (which was founded in 1976) in the early 1990s and through publishing it, we had gained a great appreciation of convention bureaus and the travel industry as well as the importance of the associations that serve so many industries and professions. #SportsTravelPublishersPost #SportsTravelSeason20 #NASC17
