The influx of guests from all corners of the state could mean an economic shot in the arm.
“Based on calculations by the [Springfield] Convention and Visitors Bureau, this represents around $2 million to $3 million for the city of Springfield,” said Kelly Ross, Lake Country’s executive director. “Soccer is big business for Springfield.”
Lake Country board President Bill Garoutte said up to 90 percent of the expected attendees will be coming from out-of-town to see the largest youth soccer tournament in Missouri.
The annual tournament, hosted by the Missouri Youth Soccer Association, features more than 175 of the top Under-13 to Under-19 boys’ and girls’ teams in the state. Twelve participating teams are from Springfield, and the majority is from St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia and Jefferson City.
Lake Country hosted the youth soccer state tournament in 2009, when 150 teams participated.
