Sports & Recreation Facilities Loans
Flexible Lending Options
for Sports & Recreation Facilities
By its very definition, one could proclaim the sports and entertainment sector nothing but fun and games. Yet the ripple effects of the $83 billion category are anything but trivial. The twin industries together employ millions of people, stimulate economies both rural and urban, and support an array of related businesses, including restaurants, hotels, travel, and transportation.
Thanks to their sizable land requirement, many of the stadiums, amusement parks, and other sports and entertainment properties occupy rural territory. That seemingly inconsequential factor has a notable benefit: it can unlock competitively priced funding through the USDA’s Business & Industry Loan Program. Translation: play can be profitable, too.

Piloting something other than play? The USDA has options.
At NAC, our rural lending experts guide applicants through the process in full. The business owners we serve are often surprised to hear that the USDA supports more than agriculture alone. In fact, the USDA Business & Industry Loan Program has nothing to do with agriculture at all. The USDA’s Business & Industry Loan Program provides government-guaranteed loans and grants to rural small businesses of all types. The Loan Program empowers entrepreneurs and entities with loans of up to $25MM, so long as they operate in communities of 50,000 or fewer.
