The Greater Iowa City/Coralville Area Sports Authority was created in 2004 and falls underneath the umbrella of the Iowa City/Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau. The authority was created to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life by promoting the area as a premiere amateur sports destination on a state, regional, and national level.
