Champions are Made in Knoxville

Knoxville is recognized as a premier city for hosting a variety of sporting events. A key component to Knoxville’s success is the selection of venues, anchored by the Knoxville Convention Center (KCC), a premier facility that welcomes a number of events each year. Thanks to sports court flooring and systems purchased by the Visit Knoxville Sports Commission, KCC also has an impressive list of youth basketball and volleyball tournaments.

Located alongside the Tennessee River, a spectacular sporting venue in its own right, Knoxville provides athletes and fans alike with outstanding visitor experience. Many sporting venues are located within walking distance of the city’s vibrant downtown as well as the University of Tennessee campus. Downtown offers a mind boggling number of restaurants and a variety of attractions and entertainment. It’s truly an impressive setting.
