Sports is big business in Gwinnett. On this edition of “On the Money“, host Joe Moss talks with Stan Hall, the Executive Director of the Gwinnett Sports Commission, about the professional and amateur sports landscape and what lies ahead. Topics include the economic impact of sports in Gwinnett, and what the county’s four major sports properties mean to the area (Gwinnett Braves, Atlanta Gladiators, Georgia Swarm and Mitsubishi Electric Classic PGA).

The mission of the Gwinnett Sports Commission (GSC) is to foster economic development through coordinating and developing Gwinnett’s role as a leading site for sports events involving youth, collegiate, amateur and professional organizations.
Gwinnett is home to two of metro Atlanta’s premier minor league teams – baseball’s Gwinnett Braves (AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves) and hockey’s Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL affiliate of the Boston Bruins). The G-Braves play in the state-of-the-art Coolray Field, while the Gladiators thrill the crowds at the Infinite Energy Arena.
The Georgia Swarm, Gwinnett’s new professional lacrosse team, is a part of the National Lacrosse League and will begin their first season at the Infinite Energy Arena starting in January of 2016.
The Mitsubishi Electric Classic, a PGA TOUR Champions event, is played annually at the prestigious TPC Sugarloaf. The 2016 tournament is scheduled for April 11-17 with 81 PGA TOUR Champions professionals competing for a $1.8 million purse.
