Longmont Bidding for Tournament

Posted by admin on January 23, 2009 under News | Be the First to Comment

It was exciting for many local youth baseball fans to hear that Longmont is bidding to become the new host city for the Fort Collins-based Triple Crown Sports.

Triple Crown has held its World Series youth baseball tournament in Steamboat Springs for the past twenty  years and will keep the tournament there through 2010.

The Steamboat Pilot & Today reports that Triple Crown has received seven or eight proposals from other cities to host the tournament.  Longmont is among them, and according to examiner.com, the city is offering incentives – along the lines of paying Triple Crown $200 for every local team and $400 for every out-of-state team it brings to the community.

The tournament would bring thousands of visitors to the host city, and Longmont estimates up to $2 million dollars into the local economy.
