Venue &
Host City

Springfield, the 3rd largest City in Massachusetts and the 4th largest in all of New England, is a City of many attributes. It has been known as the “City of Firsts” – a moniker earned through a history of innovation, including America’s first Armory and military arsenal and the first American made automobile. Springfield may be best known for two other innovations - the birthplace of basketball and of Theodor Geisel, better known as “Dr. Seuss.”

The City is in the midst of a successful and long term effort to revitalize itself. The economy is growing, businesses are flourishing, and public spaces are being made more vibrant everyday. The ability for both residents and visitors to be able to walk or bike around the City with ease and comfort is an important factor in this resurgence and essential in promoting a healthy and safe community.
