SportsEvents Media Group, the leading industry publication focused exclusively on helping sports event planners produce excellent competitions in the United States, has announced that Ruston Sports Complex in Ruston, LA has been recognized as a 2020 Readers’ Choice Award winner.

Award-winning destinations and venues for youth and amateur sports will be honored in the January 2020 issue of SportsEvents Magazine. 

Sports event professionals were asked to nominate destinations and sports venues that they believe display exemplary creativity and professionalism toward the youth and amateur sports groups they host. More than 3,000 votes were cast this year to name the winners in each category. A record number of nominations were also submitted in early October to nominate events, planners, industry professionals and destinations. 

“The destinations, venues, industry professionals and events nominated for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards are truly deserving of this award,” said Sherri Middleton, managing editor of SportsEvents Magazine. “It is my honor to recognize Ruston Sports Complex as a 2020 winner. Your organization exhibits a perfect example of excellence in the sports events industry.” 

“We are honored to be a recipient of the Reader’ Choice Awards for 2020. This award solidifies our community’s investment as a top competitor for sports events not only in our area but, all over the south.” Mayor Ronny Walker
