EventConnect Partnering With Legacy Sports USA

EventConnect has announced a partnership with Legacy Sports USA, which in January 2022 will open Legacy Sports Park, a 320-acre multi-use family, sport and entertainment complex in Mesa, Arizona.

Legacy Sports USA will use EventConnect’s platform to streamline attendee user data to maximize attendee experiences with event and hotel registrations, ticketing and concessions planning at Legacy Sports Park’s outdoor and indoor team athletic facilities.

“Partnering with EventConnect will further set us up for success from the start by maximizing efficiency by enabling connectivity on one platform for registrations for Legacy’s tournaments, leagues, camps memberships, athlete performance development, and hotel bookings for club organizers and our athlete families,” said Legacy Sports USA Chief Operating Officer Jeff de Laveaga.

EventConnect works in the sports tourism industry to connect thousands of rights holders, tournament directors and accommodations on one platform—working with more than 4,000 events, 20,000 hotels in over 800 cities across North America. Legacy Sports Park, which will be managed by Oak View Group Facilities, will feature state-of-the-art training and wellness centers, nutrition professionals and a wide selection of dining options. It will also feature an gaming center, a multi-purpose arena and an outdoor amphitheater.

“The East Valley’s entire destination promise is about to soon change with the development of Legacy Sports Park,” said Visit Mesa Director of Sports Sales Lance Fite. “Visit Mesa has long served as the leading destination marketing and management organization for this region and we are excited to enhance Legacy’s global outreach as we secure a new roster of athletic events and new sports groups to come and compete on our soil.”

“We are excited to partner with Legacy Sports USA as they prepare to open the stunning Legacy Sports Park,” said EventConnect Chief Executive Officer John D’Orsay. “As tournament organizers assess their strategy for the remainder of the year, it’s key for them to focus on software efficiencies that can save them time and money.”
