Trophy Park is a planned world-class , multi-purpose indoor and outdoor 200 acre state-of-the-art athletic complex in Jackson , New Jersey , opening in mid-2021 . The all-star campus will have the ability to host over 2,000 athletes per week . Trophy Park expects over one million visitors per year by presenting youth athletic tournaments , events , and sports camps to teams and individual athletes locally , regionally , nationally and internationally . Sports include soccer , lacrosse , field hockey , baseball , softball , basketball , volleyball , wresting , cheer and more . The complex features 300 rooms within two Wyndham hotels , an Athlete Village with 124 self-contained Athlete suites to accommodate 2,000 athletes and coaches ; 24 fields and diamonds with turf and lights ; Full service food court with 800 seats for athletes and families ; indoor arena featuring 16 basketball courts and a turf soccer field ; two 2,000 seat showcase fields and a health and safety focus with on-site police , fire and EMS . The Youth Sports Industry will be a 19.2 Billion dollar industry by 2023 according to a study by Statista / Christina Gough ( Dec . 2019 ). The NFL is worth 15 Billion in comparison ( Wintergreen Research November 2019 ). With 45 million children playing organized sports nationally , Trophy Park is designed to capture a percentage of that market bringing young athletes and their families to New Jersey to compete . Trophy Park will provide hundreds of union jobs to Jackson from the construction stages to permanent jobs on-site once the park is open . Trophy Park will also create $ 2 million per year in tax revenue for Jackson .
This will be a family-oriented sports experience . It will feature Tournament play from teams across the country and internationally . Athletes and their families will spend a week of their lives staying here . This is not a day-to-day transient sports park . It is meant for up to 2,000 athletes a week to compete at Trophy Park and live in team hotel suites on the property . We believe an unparalleled sporting ; entertaining and social environment leads to memorable experiences for families and allows athletes to live their dreams . Our focus is on health and safety . There will be an emergency medical , police station and fire house all on site . Guest experience will come before all else . There will be a Food Court to seat 800 athletes and their families , plus multiple restaurant and concession options . Trophy Park is centrally located , perfectly situated between NY & Philadelphia . It is accessible to three major airports ; I 95 , NJ Turnpike and Route 537 . What better place to put it , than next to an Amusement Park . Being close to Great Adventure , athletes and families can visit while here . My dream for Trophy Park came seven years ago . My original plan was to replicate the tournament atmosphere that the baseball tournaments in Cooperstown offered and do it in a better way in New Jersey . What started as a baseball facility soon added lacrosse and grew to soccer , basketball , wrestling and cheer and many others . As I talked to people in the industry I found what was needed on the east coast was a place where the athletes could compete in week-long tournaments to get to the next level . Trophy Park became something that was desperately needed .
