2022 NXL World Cup : Nicole , No Parking and Once Again The Pro Winner is ...?
Staff Report
Once again , this mammoth event known as the National Xball League World Cup was held on the grounds of the Gaylord Hotel in Kissimmee , Florida . And what a spectacular event it was , with 558 teams attending and nearly 7,000 people with boots on the ground playing , watching , vending or otherwise spending time on-site . And minus a hurricane , the event would have had 698 teams . To accommodate this number of teams the NXL built 12 playing fields including the mounds field and the Pro field .
If you ’ ve ever attended the World Cup since PHOTOS it THIS ’ s SPREAD been BY held GARY at BAUM the Gaylord Hotel , you ’ ve probably had a good quarter-mile walk from your car in the parking lot to the main entrances of the event . And with that , there still seemed to be acres of additional parking area left unused . Not this year . For the first time ever , the lot was filled to capacity on Saturday and the league was requesting that players and guests park offsite at Logan ’ s Roadhouse and Uber over to the fields . Wow !
The World Cup vendor village is always a highlight and this year was no different . GI Sportz , Planet Eclipse , Field One , Virtue , Dye , Maxt , Ninja , Hormesis , Gangster , Carbon , Trade My Gun , Inception , Hyrda . Fit , GOG and many more were in attendance at this year ’ s event as was Budweiser and a half dozen food vendors . Walking through the vendor village brings you to the playing fields where family , friends and other players could drop a chair and watch the games . The World Cup venue is quite spectacular — and even as large as it is , space was definitely an issue this year . The NXL has grown so quickly since it took over for the PSP after the Texas event in 2015 , that at some point a new venue may be necessary … a good problem to have .
