The $20 million investment being made by our community into national Sports Tournaments is getting closer to becoming a reality! The Rocky Top Sports World complex is located out HWY 321 from Gatlinburg’s light #3, about 6 miles (Just past the Glades Arts and Crafts area), surrounding the existing Gatlinburg-Pittman High School facilities.
Ground has been broken and crews with heavy equipment are working hard towards a Spring, 2014 opening of Rocky Top Sports World. The complex will host sporting events at the 80-acre facility which will include:
-
10 Basketball Courts
-
17 Volley Ball Courts
-
86,000 square foot Indoor Facility
-
7 Multi-Use Fields
There are few facilities this size that are located in areas that have existing accmodations for large crowds. A common complaint of parents attending tournaments is that there is “nowhere to stay” and “nothing to do” between games. Boy do we have those problems solved here in the Smokies! Both the city of Gatlinburg and the County are working together on this investment, and excitement is growing as tangible evidence of progress is being seen!
We have a gorgeous 4-bedroom cabin for sale, right around the corner from this new development. It will be a perfect rental for families coming in for the games– check it out here!
