RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Jacobs Entertainment has begun building the flat fields that will make up their youth sports initiative.
The company announced Monday that construction on the fields has begun, and that the first youth soccer tournament weekend officially begins June 6.
“This will be a very strong summer season for downtown Reno,” said Richard Jacobs, assistant director of sales and special events at J Resort. “We’re anticipating a significant jump in hotel demand during major events, including this year’s U.S. Bowling Open. Youth sports weekends alone are expected to drive substantial overnight visitation and economic activity for downtown Reno’s businesses. Between sports, concerts, public art, and new amenities, it’s exciting to see downtown continue to grow as a vibrant place to live, work, and play.”
The company says they eventually plan to develop up to 12 fields over the next six years to accommodate 7 on 7, 9 on 9, and 11 on 11 play.
