Here are the top five reasons why sporting groups of all types have chosen to bring their event to our city. 1. WE HAVE A CONVENIENT AND ACCESSIBLE CAMPUS We’re a great fit for sporting events of all types thanks to our walkable campus, which includes an arena directly across the street from the Baltimore Convention Center, and just steps away from the stadium complex where the Ravens and Orioles play. 2. ROBUST HOTEL OFFERINGS Along the seven-mile waterfront promenade, Baltimore’s convention campus offers 34 hotels and 9,000 hotel rooms (5,500 committable), representing all of the major brands as well as only-in-Baltimore boutique properties. Here is a snapshot of what you can find within walking distance of the convention center 4,400 rooms (3,700 committable) within three blocks of the convention center 2,300 rooms (2,000 committable) within one block of the convention center 3. FAN-FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS Downtown Baltimore offers everything you need to keep your fans and spectators entertained, whether you’re coming for a day or for a week. Host a fan fest at one of the sports bars near Camden Yards, reserve Power Plant Live! for a fan event or reserve a cruise on Baltimore’s spectacular Inner Harbor. Or rent out space at M&T Bank Stadium where the Baltimore Ravens play. 4. A BUILT-IN ATTENDANCE BASE Baltimore is a great sports town! From the legends who started their careers here (Any Babe Ruth or Earl the Pearl Monroe fans?) to the robust college sports scene and a community that loves to watch the locals play, you’ll find a supportive crowd no matter the game. 5. EXPERIENCE WITH HOSTING GROUPS LIKE YOURS What kinds of groups have found a fit with Baltimore? Here are just a few of the ones we will be hosting in the coming years: Baltimore Running Festival This running festival has been a Baltimore favorite for more than 20 years, and includes five distance options including marathon, half-marathon, and relay. The course winds through Federal Hill and Fell’s Point before finishing in the scenic Inner Harbor waterfront area. Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Basketball Tournament February 2021-2023 Baltimore is the new host of the CIAA men’s and women’s basketball tournament.
