The Virginia Beach Sportsplex

What The Virginia Beach Sportsplex does

The Virginia Beach Sportsplex is a multi-purpose sports venue and regional training center located at 2044 Landstown Centre Way in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operating within the VB Sports District a few miles from the Oceanfront and Town Center. The venue comprises a 6,000-seat stadium with six corporate suites, two large locker rooms, an enclosed media area, concession stands, and an outdoor covered gazebo, alongside the USA Field Hockey Tournament Center featuring two Astroturf water-based fields with field lights, two additional grass athletic fields, and 1,500 paved parking spaces plus overflow gravel. The facility is designated as USA Field Hockey's National Youth Tournament Center and Regional Training Center, and serves as the home venue for Virginia Beach United (USL League Two and W League soccer), the Neptune Bowl college football showcase, and the Summer Bash at the Beach youth field hockey tournament presented by Capelli Sport.

The company's core product is bookable venue infrastructure — synthetic turf, grass fields, the stadium, suites, and a 5K-10K run course — monetized through a mix of event rental, tournament hosting, concession and catering (Plex Cafe), corporate sponsorship, and tenant team operations. Direct distribution is handled through venue bookings via website and phone, while national field hockey programming is sourced through the USA Field Hockey partnership and sports tourism demand is supported by a 15+ hotel partner network offering discounted rates from $179-$349/night. Ancillary revenue capture includes on-site Plex Cafe, suite menus, and corporate hospitality.

The customer base is segmented into youth and amateur sports clubs (Rush Soccer, Mustangs Football, Legacy Lacrosse, VB Rockfish, Saints Field Hockey, TCOYO Field Hockey, VB Field Hockey), collegiate athletics programs (Neptune Bowl), corporate sponsors and suite lessees, and sports tourism visitors. Marketing is conducted through the company website, social media, a Constant Contact newsletter, the '757 Saturday Sports Talk' podcast, and Cova Sports livestream/photo gallery distribution. Pricing is quote-based across venue rentals, with public reference points of $1,000 per team for youth field hockey tournament entry and event hotel rates ranging $179-$349/night. The company is private, for-profit, and operates with 11-50 employees.
