When it comes to sports, Winston-Salem’s got serious game. Athletes of all ages know they can count on top-level venues ideally suited for youth, amateur, or professional events and competitions, inside or out. Superior college facilities, a state-of-the-art indoor track, a spacious arena, a reinvented downtown convention center, and now one of the region’s largest multi-sport complexes—they’re all a part of the winning game plan in Winston-Salem.

For many sporting event planners and organizers, one of Winston-Salem's biggest advantages is our affordability. Winston-Salem offers a unique combination of factors that enables us to offer high-quality facilities at reasonable rates. To start, our three nearby airports (Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Greensboro) attract travelers by offering reasonable airfares. A variety of venues at our six prestigious colleges and universities, as well as an array of sporting facilities, adds a layer of competition that helps keep pricing, well, competitive. There is also the dual advantage of how easy it is to get around in our destination, between our facilities and downtown Winston-Salem, which helps minimize logistics and transportation costs as well as enhance the overall event experience for attendees wanting to enjoy the amazing food, history, and entertainment here in our city.
