Accessible

Greater Akron is not only one the Midwest’s most geographically accessible cities via several major highways and the Akron-Canton Airport, but is home to an amazing array of venues that can be leveraged for any sporting event and any size crowd. Holding a traditional soccer tournament? Cool, we have more than 100 indoor and outdoor venues that could work for you. Doing something a little different, like a roller derby? We can help you with that too.
