Rochester Sports is in the midst of a ‘Month of Champions’ as Rochester hosts six youth state baseball tournaments in July.
More than 100 teams from across the state will descend on Rochester over the course of the month, making Rochester the home of baseball’s youth state championships.
The Minnesota Baseball Tournaments 15AAA and 13A tournaments were held last weekend.
Two more tournaments are set for this Friday through Sunday, with the final two tournaments of the month scheduled for July 22-24.
The economic impact is felt by our hospitality businesses that welcome the players and families into our restaurants and hotels.
Based on similar tournaments in past years, Rochester Sports Executive Director, Matt Esau says: “Rochester Sports estimates that the six youth state baseball tournaments that we will be hosting will bring into Rochester a combined more than 9,000 visitors, more than 1,100 room nights, and more than $980,000 in direct visitor spending.”
