On Wednesday, community members in Owensboro broke ground on a new indoor sports facility. The facility will be complete with one turf field and five basketball courts, all of which can be repurposed to fit various sports and tournament play, including volleyball and pickleball.
Leaders hope the facility will grow the economy in the city by bringing in more sports tourism to an already booming business in Owensboro.
“We have restaurants. We have amenities that can provide for those patrons, whether they’re here for a tournament, and then they can leave and go get a piece of pizza, if they like a beer, whatever is going on downtown with the convention center. We have multiple other events, so hopefully we can have a mixture of those other events, and they’ll have a pleasurable time in Owensboro,” said Owensboro Assistant City Manager Lelan Hancock.
