Since 2006, this action-packed competition has called Rutherford County home, drawing approximately 40,000 in total attendance with an economic impact of $3.5 million.
Tickets are on sale now through GoFan. A ticket is good for an entire day at any Spring Fling venue and is $12 each if purchased in advance online through GoFan – $15 if purchased with cash at the gate. Complete schedules for each sport are available at TSSAAsports.com/springfling.
“As always, TSSAA is thankful to be in Rutherford County to host Spring Fling,” said Emily Crowell, TSSAA assistant executive director. “We continue to grow our state championships with the addition of a class in baseball, softball and track, but Rutherford County always comes together to find the venues and volunteers needed to pull off a successful event and a memorable championship experience for Tennessee student-athletes. The Rutherford County CVB, Murfreesboro Parks & Recreation and the 10 high schools hosting baseball events are invaluable resources to TSSAA.”
“The growth of this event enhances our efforts to continue increasing Rutherford County’s tourism economic impact,” said Barbara Wolke, senior vice president of the Rutherford County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase everything that we have to offer to the many participants and spectators.”
