Economic Impact The Chicago Sports Commission focuses on attracting major sporting events to drive economic impact and job creation for Chicago, presenting a sales opportunity to secure/event hosting partnerships with venues, sponsors, and tourism stakeholders.

Strategic Partnerships Strong corporate and league affiliations with major brands and organizations suggest openings to upsell sponsorship packages, co-marketing initiatives, and exclusive rights deals aligned with CSC events.

Small Team, Big Reach CSC operates with a lean team but has access to extensive networks through affiliated partners and venues, indicating a need for scalable sales outreach targeting mid-to-large partners (national brands, hospitality groups, and event vendors) that can support multiple events.

Revenue Opportunity With current revenue positioned under one million dollars, there is room to grow through sponsorships, hospitality programs, and event-management services, presenting cross-sell opportunities to expand the value proposition for partners.

Market Positioning Positioning Chicago as the premier U.S. destination for sports tourism creates a compelling narrative for international and national brands seeking visibility, enabling targeted pitches to media, travel, and corporate partners seeking high-visibility engagement.
