Sporting Events in Connecticut

A great New England location

Connecticut is located in Southern New England, between New York City and Boston, and offers convenient access from car, bus, train, or air. More than 23.5 million people live within a two-hour drive to Hartford, our state’s capital city which is a major selling point to your sporting events that are looking for participants and spectators!

Once we’ve helped you determine the region and the field, we can refer you to nearby hotels for housing and qualify your event for our Housing Bureau services, if right for your event.
