"By combining SFC's national platform with BSN SPORTS' leadership in team sports, we can create meaningful value for our venues, clients, athletes, families, and partners—and help more communities realize the full potential of their sports and recreation destinations."

SFC welcomes nearly 30 million guest visits annually across its venue network, giving BSN SPORTS a powerful pathway to support athletes, coaches, families, and communities in markets nationwide. The national partnership also supports tailored local activation, allowing participating facilities to access resources and programs that reflect their distinct needs.
