LOCAL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENTS GETTING A BOOST
Many local football tournaments are getting a major boost in the form of sponsors, who were prepared to spend big. Athletes and fans from as far away as Toronto, Ohio, Indiana and across Michigan are set to join local soccer enthusiasts and spend money as they descend on area hotels, restaurants, movie theaters, retail shops, ice cream stands and other businesses.
The 66-room Comfort Suites and 117-room Fairfield Inn, neighboring lodgings northeast of Haggerty and Ford roads, started witnessing an uptick in Canton Cup business nearly a year ago as families began reserving a place to stay for the Memorial Day weekend tournament.
“We're sold out,” said Nader Judah, regional sales director for A&M Hospitality, which operates the two lodgings. “This is one of the largest venues that attracts people for us.”
