Check-In is the first impression the athletes
have of the 2011 State Games of America. We
make our Check-In very exciting for the athletes.
They walk in to an area decorated with banners
and flags. They go to the table designated
for their sport. At Check-in, they will receive
a credential and goody bag full of items such
as: memorabilia from local professional sports
teams, snacks, and discounts at local attractions.
They are given specific directions to their
sport venue and Opening Ceremonies instructions.
Opening Ceremonies: (Qualcomm Stadium)
The
ceremonies begin at 6:30pm and the Athlete
Village opens at 4:30 pm in parking lot L1.
Opening Ceremonies is a truly spectacular
event that athletes will remember for a lifetime.
The athletes are amazed when they find out
they get to walk on the field at Qualcomm
Stadium. The estimated attendance is 30,000,
the largest ever for a State Games of America.
The Opening Ceremonies has always been the
highlight of the Games. We are looking forward
to having the State Games of America Opening
Ceremonies be an even more spectacular event
than in the past.
