LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Dec. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- The Louisville Sports Commission is a non-profit organization that works to bring major sporting events to the city of Louisville. This provides great opportunities for Louisville-area residents to enjoy a wide variety of activities for healthier living.

Since 2006, sporting events have contributed close to $300 million to the economy in Louisville, according to the Louisville Sports Commission (for info, see: http://www.louisvillesports.org).

Recently the Louisville Sports Commission reached an exciting agreement for Louisville to host several different National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships.
