You'll occasionally hear that a sports event is on, "come hell or high water." Make that holy water. The visit of Pope Francis to select cities in the United States is wreaking havoc on traffic, as well as on pre-planned vacations - and it's about to cause headaches for sports event planners, too.

Want an event to be monumental? Unforgettable? Consider Gillette and Wright in Campbell County, Wyoming. Home to the all-purpose CAM-PLEX Multi-Events Facilities, the Energy Capital Sports Complex baseball and softball complex, the Southern Campbell County Agricultural Complex, Campbell County Aquatic Center as well as state-of-the-art Recreation Centers in Gillette and Wright, Campbell County has a plethora of venues and enough versatility -- plus dependable weather -- to satisfy any planner. Outside the playing field, participants of any age will find plenty to do as Devils Tower, one of the nation's top scenic attractions, is just an hour from Gillette in addition to other family and outdoor opportunities.

Formerly known as the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, NIRSA is the association of leaders in collegiate recreation. NIRSA organizes and promotes its Championship Series, with regional and national events in soccer, basketball, flag football and tennis, participated in by thousands of students each year.

"Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work."
