City of Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls is hosting 8 championships for Division II sports starting in 2015, the NCAA announced Wednesday. From 2015 to 2018, South Dakota’s largest city hosts college basketball, volleyball, wrestling, cross country, and track and field events. Wes Hall, executive director of Sioux Falls Sports Authority, says the NCAA sees opportunities in a city the size of Sioux Falls, which has the infrastructure in place to support major sporting events. He says Sioux Falls leaders and private businesses have invested significant time and money into establishing venues and a greater community that welcome major events.
