EXPLORE IOWA ON THE SPORTS TOURISM INDEX

Finding the right host destination starts with understanding which facilities can accommodate your event. Through a partnership with Tempest, Team Iowa participates in the Sports Tourism Index, an online platform where rights-holders can search Iowa's sports venues based on their event requirements.
