FCS championship economic impact in Nashville: $31.3M
Not only did last season's FCS championship game draw some of its highest TV viewership, attendance, and social media engagement, but it was also a very successful weekend for Nashville in its debut year hosting the game.
The Nashville Sports Council tells me the FCS championship weekend brought in an estimated $31.3M in spending. That number is in line with the Music City Bowl and the SEC Basketball Tournament. The average stay was 2.6 nights.
Nashville hosts the title game again this season as part of its 2-year contract. The city will put in another competitive bid to continue hosting the game. #FCS
