The Summit League announced Wednesday the intent to relocate its conference headquarters to Sioux Falls, S.D., from its current location in Elmhurst, Ill.
The Summit League President’s Council unanimously approved the relocation.
The Summit League will open operations at a temporary location in Sioux Falls on Aug. 1 before moving to its permanent headquarters at the Sanford Sports Complex. The move gives the league office a more centralized location within its current footprint.
The Summit League already has a strong reputation and following in the region. Its premier event, The Summit League Basketball Championships, has taken place in Sioux Falls each year since 2009, shattering attendance records, garnering unprecedented recognition and dramatically elevating the league’s profile.
