VBCC – The Calm Before the Storm
The restrooms are clean, the lobby is ready, thousands of chairs are set, and contractors are working on the finishing touches for the stage. What will you be doing this weekend?
US Finals takes an army to support. VBCC Operations teams have worked hard to set this up, and will work even harder to maintain it over the weekend. The Event Service team has worked tirelessly all year to make this come off flawlessly, and they’ll all be here this weekend. The Business team will be here long hours as well selling tickets to everyone coming through the doors. These folks make the magic happen.
Thanks Sports Marketing for helping us grow and keep this group in Virginia Beach.
