The State
Last week, Greenville hosted the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament, and the big weekend pumped big money into the local economy (an estimated $1.7M).
Chris Stone, president of VisitGreenvilleSC, says fans were “wowed” with Greenville and enjoyed the easy commute between the stadium and our main street attractions.
It looks as if this “test run” (ladies SEC tournament), which brought thousands to the city will serve as a promising benchmark as thousands more plan to be in attendance March 17-19 for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
(Shoutout again to the lady Gamecocks for bringing home the trophy 🏆 )
