As the Sports Development Department of VisitPITTSBURGH, SportsPITTSBURGH's primary goal is to attract and host a wide variety of sporting events in Allegheny County. Our team provides the experience and expertise in sports development, marketing and event planning that has helped establish the Pittsburgh region as a legendary sports town. From the moment you choose Pittsburgh, SportsPITTSBURGH offers a wide range of event services to ensure the success of every event. Our department is part of the larger sport tourism industry, which is a broad spectrum. We attract sport events of all sizes, of all skill levels and of all sports. With these events come the visitors and participants who, in turn, help the economy of our city via hotel room stays, eating out at restaurants and buying tickets to sporting events in the region. These organizations like ours work with representatives in sales, with individual venues and with the planner(s) for each event coming to the city to create the best possible experience for all involved. In the U.S., there are 110 sport commissions specifically created to handle sports events for their city.
