A new bill aimed at attracting sporting and entertainment<\/a> events in New York state was introduced by Assemblymember Ron Kim, who serves as chair of the New York State Assembly Committee on Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill, A9562<\/a>, would establish the Empire State Sports and Entertainment Fund \u2014 a $25 million state appropriation that would be annually renewed \u2014 targeting events that have a choice in their venue and regularly decide between different locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Events excluded by the bill include home games for any New York-based sports teams and franchises, as well as regularly scheduled New York events like the U.S. Open in tennis, the Belmont Stakes, the Tony Awards and the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim said the intent of this bill is to enable New York to compete with other states and countries for premier events that drive spending, tourism and economic activity, while demonstrating a proven record of return on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom New York City and Long Island to the North Country and Niagara Falls,\u201d Kim said, \u201cthe goal of this new legislation is to create opportunities for New York to attract sporting and entertainment events that can go anywhere in the world and bring them to our amazing New York venues.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

Among the sporting events the assemblyman highlighted to be targeted by the funds are golf tournaments \u2014 such as the U.S. Open, PGA championship or Ryder Cup \u2014 NASCAR or F1 races, NCAA competitions, or entertainment events like the Grammy Awards and other worldwide music concerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNew York should be competing to bring these tourist-friendly events here,\u201d Kim added. \u201cI hope to be joined on this bill by a number of my assembly colleagues, and look forward to the bill\u2019s introduction in the Senate soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
