SPECIAL EVENTS

2011 STATE GAMES OF AMERICA
Where Champions Come to Play
EVENT ENHANCEMENTS

Athlete Check-In: (Town & Country Hotel)
Wednesday August 3: 5-9pm
Thursday August 4: 10am - 9pm
Friday August 5: 10am – 5pm
Athlete 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 of each sport. They go to the table designated for their sport. When they check-in, they are given a goody bag full of items to eat and drink, memorabilia from local professional sports teams, snacks, and discounts at local attractions. They are given specific directions to their sport venue and a reminder on how Opening Ceremonies work. They also receive their credential.

Opening Ceremonies: (Qualcomm Stadium)
The ceremonies begin at 6:30pm and the vendors area is open from at 4:30 pm.
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 35,000, 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.

Athlete Party:
This is a time to celebrate with friends and family at the Athlete Party to be held at the beautiful waterfront Coronado Tidelands Park on Saturday. Athletes enjoy a casual evening of fun, food, music and entertainment. The party will have a DJ, pizza, salad, drinks, dessert and lots of games.

Championship Banners:
In addition to Gold, Silver & Bronze medals, we will award a 2011 State Games of America Championship Banner to Team Champions in certain sports.

Athlete Credentials:
Each athlete will receive a beautiful credential showing that they are an athlete in the 2011 State Games of America. This small token goes a long way in making every athlete feel special and in offering a keepsake that they will cherish.

San Diego Padres Game Night:
If the Padres are home, athletes who receive a medal at the State Games of America will have the opportunity to parade onto the field at Petco Park that weekend. All SGA athletes and their families can purchase discounted tickets for Padres’ games during the Games.

College Recruiting Seminars:
The San Diego Hall of Champions, in conjunction with the Junior Seau Foundation has embarked on a much needed program to educate and empower 8-12th grade student-athletes, their parents or guardians and guidance counselors on the college recruiting process. The HOC has presented the Junior Seau Student-Athlete Playbook, along with quarterly symposiums for parents and high school student-athletes featuring speakers from local San Diego college athletic departments. The popularity of these symposiums has proven that student-athletes and their parents or guardians are hungry for this information. As a part of the State Games of America, the Hall of Champions would host a symposium in house offered exclusively for athletes, families and coaches of the Games.

The San Diego Hall of Champions is the nation's largest multi-sport museum, boasting three levels of memorabilia and 68,000 square feet. The museum offers a state-of-the-art theatre, an interactive media center and fascinating

Sports @ Lunch
San Diego Hall of Champions would host a Sports@Lunch event featuring special State Games guests and well-known athletes slated to be in attendance at the Games. The Hall has access to hundreds of very well known athletes from the San Diego area and that have played professional sports in San Diego.
