CICSC states, "Sports tourism, driven by mammoth indoor and outdoor complexes that host youth tournaments, is already big business. Will it be a high-scoring anchor for retail development? Price Brothers, the developers of the $750 million Bluhawk mixed-use community in Overland Park, Kansas, is banking on it.

Some 20 years after purchasing 277 acres at the intersection of U.S. 69 and 159th Street, the southernmost reaches of the Kansas City metro back then, the company will open the 260,000-square-foot first phase of its $125 million AdventHealth Sports Park on Saturday. The facility is expected to draw 3.8 million people a year and includes a professional-size hockey rink; basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts; a turf field; and a training center.

This sports complex, though, also features a glitzy entertainment package to keep adults and kids happy between games: A high-end bar, restaurants, workspace, laser tag, bowling, arcade games, sports simulators and a roller coaster zip line. A second phase will expand the complex to 420,000 square feet.”
