Sports & Recreation

World-class sports and recreational facilities boost the quality of life and support economic development in Anoka County.  Here are a few of the highlights:

National Sports Center

What sports facility draws the most visitors per year in Minnesota?  The National Sports Center (NSC) in Blaine hosts nearly four million visitors a year.  The NSC is the world's largest soccer complex with 55 fields. And soccer isn't the only game as the NSC.  There are eight sheets of Olympic-sized ice, and world-class facilities for track and field events and bicycle racing. The NSC - which has hosted more than 50 national and international sporting events - has a 30 million dollar annual impact on the local economy

The TPC of the Twin Cities is the site of the SENIOR PGA TOUR's 3M Championship.
