The DSC creates economic and social impact by leading efforts to support, attract and promote sports in Durham, NC.
关于我们
The vision of the DSC is to engage the Durham community in supporting and promoting the sports culture that exists both historically and presently. We're working towards increasing the participation rates of local sporting events, attracting national event owners to bring new events to Durham, and further developing the local sports community to make sure it is accessible and beneficial to all.
We’re newer to Durham, but this isn’t our first rodeo; we’ve hosted local, regional and national championships and we build experiences for event owners that make an impact, encourage growth and benefit stakeholders. It doesn’t hurt that Durham is the City of Champions. We’re a homerun for event planners, families and athletes, and we’re a day’s drive or an hour-long flight away from half the U.S. population. Come for the competition. Stay to play. We’re here to make sure it all goes smoothly.
Our team at the Durham Sports Commission is constantly asking, “How can we help?” We encourage you to schedule a meeting with our staff to talk through all the ways we can assist you in planning your event or finding new ways to build a sports culture in Durham.

The Durham Black Sox were one of several Negro League teams that played in the Bull City (along with the Durham Eagles and Durham Rams), from the 1920s through 1963. Pictured is the 1938 Black Sox team. Like other Black baseball teams of that era, they helped shape the future of baseball by showcasing talent that was often overlooked by the segregated major leagues. Today, Durham Bulls Baseball Club pay tribute to these former teams each year by wearing Durham Black Sox uniforms (pictured). #durhamsportsblackhistory ??: Durham Bulls
