Since opening in April 2024, the Circle K Fieldhouse at NexusPark continues to draw crowds, energize local businesses, and establish itself as a premier destination for regional sporting groups and organizations.

This past weekend, March 6-8, Circle K Fieldhouse hosted the second annual Folkstyle Wrestling event. Early projections from Destinations International estimate that Folkstyle Wrestling 2026 generated approximately $1,368,841 in economic impact, with an estimated 2,262 hotel rooms booked between Friday and Saturday.   

While full data is being finalized, the same event last year recorded 10,400 unique visitors over the two-day competition, attracting visitors from Indiana, Kentucky, North Dakota, Maryland, Ohio, Iowa, Washington D.C., and Florida.   

The Circle K Fieldhouse team says it communicates with nearby businesses to prepare for busy event days, sharing advance notice of major tournaments and discussing parking plans directly with event organizers to ensure smooth operations for both attendees and local establishments.   

Continued coordination means shared success for the entire community.
