National Sports Center | Blaine, Minnesota

• Unique Market Position
  NSC Consulting is the only consulting company in the field that also owns and operates a facility–the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota. We know the business because we've lived it every day for the past 26 years. Our hands-on experience is unique in the business.
• Knowledge of the Sports Industry
  The amateur sports market is dynamic, international, highly segmented, increasingly competitive, and the business opportunities are not always easily understood by government and non-profit organizations seeking to enter this world. We can help.
• Partnership Strategies
  Few amateur sports facilities happen without a myriad of partnerships between government agencies, land owners, amateur sports organizations, national governing bodies, and financing sources. NSC Consulting has done it all, lived it, and we’re able to help you put together the partnerships that will give your project life.
• Practical Direction
