Varsity Venues — The Bennies of Taking Your Iowa Team to a Sports Venue

You can’t help but lead your team to victory when you plan your next event at an Iowa sports venue. That’s because the days when a ball park was nothing more than a collection of uncomfortable bleachers and beer-stained concrete floors is long gone. Now, you can expect that ball parks, civic centers, and sports facilities are beautifully designed venues offering expansive space, state-of-the-art technology, delicious food and refreshing beverage options. Consider these when you’re putting together your game plan:

If you’re keeping score, then the Mid-America Center is a venue that racks up the points. Send your team to train at this 64,000 square foot spacious exhibition and meeting space that boasts local shopping, outstanding restaurants, exciting casino gaming and over 4,000 hotel rooms within three miles.

Hit one out of the park by bringing your team to the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Located in Des Moines, the fairgrounds is easily accessible with 24 different venues from which to choose, acres of free parking, helpful event management professionals, flexible space, and that mouthwatering state fair food, making every outing at the fairgrounds memorable.

The multi-purpose Iowa Events Center in Des Moines is varsity-level all the way. With 150,000 square feet of event space in Hy-Vee Hall, eight meeting rooms as well as three exhibit halls, you’ll score big with this venue. Preferred, local catering ensures custom menus for a one-of-a-kind event.

Long considered one of the premier racing facilities in the Midwest, MB2 Raceway invites your crew to come to a checkered flag event featuring go-kart racing, awards ceremony, catering, pool tables, gaming systems, dart boards and a relaxed environment.  Or, hit the gas and come in first place when you speed over to Iowa Speedway.  Your group will feel the need for speed as they cheer on NASCAR, INDYCAR, ARCA and USAC drivers on the “Fastest Short Track on the Planet!”

No doubt about it, when you take your team out to a sports venue, you become the MVP!
