— More than 10 organizations that promote sports tourism have teamed up to sell Nebraska to regional and national sporting event planners. The new group aims to bring more regional and national sporting events to the state, according to Derek Bombeck, president of Sports Nebraska. Getting more sporting events to come to Nebraska means more tourism dollars for the communities that host them, Bombeck said. “We’re just trying to get more sports tourism dollars to Nebraska,” he said. Other members of Sports Nebraska include the Columbus Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Omaha Sports Commission, Sarpy County Tourism, Visit Fremont and Visit Grand Island.
