ECONOMIC IMPACT
Successful high-profile events create significant economic activity that helps us build a stronger, more equitable Los Angeles.
ChampionLA events have extraordinary reach by connecting local, diverse small businesses—restaurants, retail, hotels, and production companies—to big opportunities. These opportunities can be game changers for local businesses and their employees, and help them thrive even more in the future. The positive impact of a single event doesn’t just have the potential to put a local business in a great position for growth; it also has the ripple effect of creating thousands of jobs and injecting millions into the local economy.
Done right, these events can create a legacy that goes well beyond the main stage, creating valuable opportunities across communities to build a stronger Los Angeles that will last for generations.

SUPPORTING DIVERSE BUSINESS OWNERS
When Los Angeles hosts Super Bowl LVI in 2022, organizers estimate there will be contracting opportunities available in more than 30 different industries.
In partnership with the NFL, the Super Bowl LVI Business Connect program identifies up to 250 women, minority, LGBTQ+, and veteran-owned companies in the Los Angeles area that can deliver goods and services during Super Bowl week. The program helps local business owners develop their professional skill sets, refine their business acumen, and establish networking relationships that will lead to Super Bowl subcontracting opportunities as well as post-Super Bowl business.
