Dallas Convention Center Shut Down Delays Annual Sports Convention

DALLAS – SportsCon, the annual Dallas-based convention which was to be held at the Dallas Convention Center, announced today that they would be postponing this year’s convention to 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19.

“Our number one priority has always been to create an unforgettable and safe experience for our fans, athletes, and exhibitors. After weeks of conversation with the City of Dallas and the Dallas Convention Center, we were informed we will not be able to move forward with the event and we are unfortunately going have to postpone this year’s convention to next summer,” said Andy Alberth, CEO and Co-Founder of SportsCon. “We will have more information in the coming weeks about rescheduling the Military Flag Football Championship and next year’s convention.”

SportsCon is an interactive experience for fans and companies like no other, featuring an indoor football field, Basketball court, boxing and wrestling ring, batting cages, an eSports lounge and now even an MMA cage, creating different activities and opportunities for fans to engage with their heroes and idols. 

Tickets and booths purchased for this year’s convention will automatically be transferred to 2021. Additionally, fans and exhibitors can email info@gosportscon.com by September 1 2020 if they want a full refund.

“Although 2020 isn’t going as anyone planned, the show must go on. I assure you that our team’s focus on creating this incredible experience has never been stronger. Next year’s convention will be bigger and better than ever,” added Alberth.
