GET IN THE GAME: Professional Sports in Gwinnett County

00:00 /

The state of professional sports in Gwinnett County is the topic on this special edition of “Gwinnett Business Radio“. Taped on the “Get In The Game” television studio at the Gwinnett Justice & Administration Center in Lawrenceville, host Mike Sammond interviews the leaders of Gwinnett’s professional sports entities.

Guests include:

Stan Hall – Executive Director of the Gwinnett Sports Commission

North Johnson – General Manager of Gwinnett Braves (baseball)

Alec Schimke – Director of Operations of Georgia Swarm (lacrosse)

Joe Gelderman – VP/GM of Business Operations of Atlanta Gladiators (hockey)

Elissa Dooman – Tournament Director of Mitsubishi Electric Classic (PGA golf)

Gwinnett County is unique when it comes to the professional sports landscape, but is the Gwinnett sports scene getting too crowded? Are there enough sports fans and corporate sponsorship dollars to go around? How do Gwinnett’s pro teams get noticed in the shadow of Atlanta’s pro teams? These issues and more are addressed on this special edition of “Gwinnett Business Radio“.
