In winter term 2016, students in the Business Planning and Strategy Projects class (BA 453) in the Lundquist School of Business at the University of Oregon (UO) conducted an analysis for a proposed regional multi-sports complex in Redmond, Oregon. A group of organizations within the region are exploring a regional multi-sports complex. Initial parties include: Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, City of Redmond, VisitBend, Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA), Redmond Area Parks and Recreation District, and others. The complex is framed as an economic development initiative targeted at sports tourism. The goal is to develop an outdoor/indoor complex that would attract major destination tournaments that are not easily accommodated in Central Oregon’s existing sports infrastructure. The complex would also bring community benefit through use from local groups and sports leagues.
