Local political and business leaders say last summer’s Taylor Swift concerts at Paycor Stadium showed how well Cincinnati can handle major events.

Now they’re working to create a new Greater Cincinnati Sports Events Commission to bring lots more big concerts, sporting events and other productions to the Queen City on a regular basis.

On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll hear what this commission could mean for the region and why the city of Cincinnati is investing in its creation.

Guests:

  • Julie Calvert, president and CEO, VisitCincy
  • Seth Walsh, council member, Cincinnati City Council
