Testimonials
Our venues, our location, our amenities, and the support of the ESC keep event directors hosting here year after year.
Erie has long been on MLF’s radar as a prime tournament destination, thanks to the renowned bass fishing in Presque Isle Bay. However, the level of hospitality we experienced in Erie was outstanding; both the staff and anglers noted that they had never been treated so well before.

The combination of a fantastic fishery and a fantastic group like the Erie Sports Commission is always a huge part of us pulling off successful B.A.S.S. Nation events. Their organizational skills and many contacts within the community made the event very successful. The B.A.S.S. Nation national office, as well as the Pennsylvania B.A.S.S. Nation, look forward to working with the Erie Sports Commission to bring more national and local B.A.S.S. tournaments to Erie in the future.

As the Race of Champions continues to rebuild one of the marquee events in all of short track racing, the Erie Sports Commission has provided a commitment level to the event that has been outstanding. The staff should be proud of the welcoming atmosphere that they have created for hosting events in Erie.

LaxBash Tournaments could not have a better partner than the Erie Sports Commission. The entire team is invested in a successful event from planning to completion. The ability and resources of the Sports Commission to help us ensure our participants' and fans' safety is unparalleled. Mark and his team worked hand in hand with local health officials and our safety resource director in developing and reviewing a return to play guide that we have been able to use as a model throughout the Midwest.

I have worked with hundreds of chambers of commerce, visitor bureaus, and commissions during my 10 years of organizing events for Rally North America. There are many more that I have walked away from due to a lack of understanding regarding our group's needs. I can say that the Erie Sports Commission is one that I’m glad to have had the pleasure of working with. They go out of their way to understand what is required to make your event successful, and deliver on their promises in a timely and professional manner. They genuinely care that they have done everything they could to make your event successful. If you are looking for a group that can support your event the right way, look no further.
