The Event
The 2022 NIRSA Soccer National Championships will be held November 16-18, 2023, at the Round Rock
Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock, Texas. The NIRSA Soccer National Championships consist of 24
men's and 24 women's collegiate teams from around the country. The NIRSA Championship series
believes good sportsmanship is an integral component of intercollegiate completion.
The City of Round Rock won the bid to host the 2023 NIRSA Soccer National Championships after a
highly competitive bid process with other cities across the country. This will be the third time that Round
Rock will host this event.
Figures 1 & 2 - Round Rock Multipurpose Complex
Assumptions
Assumed Total Number of Attendees
The 2023 NIRSA Soccer National Championships is projected to bring in an average total of 1856
attendees, which includes participants, out-of-state, and out -of -area Texans over a course of 3 days.
Attendee projections were based on the 2023 NIRSA Soccer National Championships application,
supplied by the Round Rock's Conventions and Visitors Bureau (CVB). The breakdown of out-of-state,
and out -of -area Texan attendees was provided to Round Rock's CVB by NIRSA Soccer Champion Series
and used to project the percentage and total numbers of attendees for the event.

Other Assumptions
In this study, local area spectators are not assumed to generate any new economic activity related to
attending the event. These residents would likely shop in local stores and eat in local restaurants
independent of the draw of the event. For this reason, they are not shown as generating any economic
impact in the tables below.
It is also assumed that all out-of-town and out -of -area Texan attendees will stay in Round Rock for 3 days
and 3 nights of the event, even though the only participants competing on the last day of the competition
will be those who have advanced to the final rounds in each respective event.
Event Expenditures Projections
Projected Car Rental Expenditures
The estimated number of out-of-state attendees is 1486. Since car rentals would likely be shared by
members of the same group, this number of out-of-state attendees is divided by the CVB's standard
guests per participant multiplier of 2.5 to estimate 594 households. Some out-of-state attendees may
drive their own vehicle or use various ride sharing options. This study estimates that 75% of households
will rent a car for this event. Rental rates for a standard size car for November 16-18 have been
averaged for the nine rental car companies located at the Austin -Bergstrom International Airport. This
average is $85.10 per day.

Out -of --Area Texans 278 Not likely to rent cars for the event
I Local Area People 1 92 1 Not likely to rent cars for the event
Projected Hotel/Motels Expenditures
The average nightly hotel rate of $129.00 was obtained from Source Strategies publication purchased by
the City of Round Rock and has been used to estimate hotel spending for the event. Since teams are
traveling together from their colleges and universities, this study assumes a conservative estimate of four
people per room. The total number of room nights is calculated by taking the number of attendees and
multiplying it by the number of nights they are staying overnight in a hotel, then dividing by four people per
room.
Note: Room nights are divided by average people per room
Projected Food/Dining and Alcoholic Drinks with Meals Expenditures
To project the economic impact associated with dining, buying alcoholic drinks with meals, and shopping
an average spending amount of $70 per attendee was used. This estimate from the Round Rock CVB is a
conservative projection based on surveys of prior local events. The $70 was divided between dining,
drinking, and shopping based on the following methodology.
The federal General Services Administration per diem rate for food while traveling for the Austin -Round
Rock metropolitan area is $59 per day. This study estimates spending on alcoholic drinks with meals to be
$4 per day. This amount is lower than many other events but because this event is for college students,
most of them will not be of legal age to purchase alcoholic drinks in restaurants.
Projected Other Shopping Expenditures
Round Rock has a variety of shopping centers in the vicinity of the Multipurpose Complex and the event
hotels. Based on the spending estimate per person of $70 per day from above, after dining and alcoholic
drinks with meals, it is estimated that the average spending on other shopping is $7 per day per person.
