To qualify for national level tournaments you have to have 20 fields in one site. These tournaments can bring in over 400 out of town/state teams for a minimum of 3 days. Each team having an average of 15-18 kids. Plus parents and coaches. That equals a lot of $ in hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc...
