CELEBRATION

Beyond the courts, the Fan Zones will include interactive attractions, cool zones, food, music, shops, and more. The fun doesn't stop there, with slam dunk, three-point, free throw,  and dribble competitions all included in the weekend's jam-packed schedule. 

COMMUNITY

The birthplace of basketball plays host to a campus of hoops on The Big E Fairgrounds, with showcase courts, legends and special places. Featured games will also take place at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Court of Dreams.

Hooplandia will shine a bright light on the Springfield area, for its legacy and impact in this global sport, drawing players and fans from throughout the Northeast and beyond. From hotel and attraction visitation, restaurant business and event operations, officials expect that the first-year event could mean a $4 million economic boost to the area, according to Mary Kay Wydra, President of the Greater Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. Great news for the economy and community vitality.
