sites.

THE STRATEGY

Final Site

communities when possible.

• Identify areas with strong community support for local

collegiate volleyball as well as NCAA Championships.

• Identify key leaders in the community to assist in all

aspects of the planning process (build your team).

THE BID

Regional Rounds – What we look for:

• Facility capacity
• Proposed budget: facility rental and personnel expense
• Regular season attendance and ticket sales
• Hotel options: quality, quantity and location
• Past hosting experience

THE BID

Final Site

• Facility: ideal capacity 15,000-18,000
• Hotels: six high-quality, full-service properties
• Ancillary Events: on-site fan interactives, with potential for a fan

fest

• AVCA Convention: 3,900 hotel rooms by 2,600 attendees and

exhibitors, use of convention center, large restaurant/retail impact

THE BID

Other Final Site Considerations

• “Destination” city for fans and coaches. What is the draw to

your city that would encourage attendance (especially for coaches with the AVCA Convention)?

• How easy/expensive is it to travel to the site?
• Other large conventions or sporting events hosted by city.
• Demonstrated support from your local government. This later

factors into street closures, access to the airport, etc.

• Host institution/conference and local sports commission/CVB

mutual support.

THE BID
