Masports.org
The Massachusetts Sports Partnership is proud to re-launch the new www.masports.org. Over the past several months, MSP has worked to create a website dedicated to promoting Massachusetts as a destination for sporting events and meetings and highlight upcoming events in the Commonwealth. The website is designed to be a resource and offer information on the Massachusetts sports community, from our venues to upcoming events to our Regional Tourism Council partners.
