Myrtle Beach Stingrays Indoor Football

The National Indoor Football League has grown and expanded into 24 cities nationwide, and Myrtle Beach is lucky enough to be one of those cites!

"We have found this area to be a huge base for football fans," said April Coble, MB Stingrays VP of Business Development. "There was a beautiful facility to play in, as well as talks of a new arena in the future. It has a good base of locals to draw from Georgetown to Cherry Grove and all the way to Conway and Aynor. With the large entertainment and service industries, people were already used to going out and having a good time. You cannot talk about the beach without mentioning the tourist. So with the fact that five out of our seven games fall on weekends in May and June, we felt that we had a large market of families to draw from as well. We are entertainment, but we are also family fun for under $35.00, and that is for a family of 4. Not many entertainment facilities can say that!"

The Myrtle Beach Stingrays' Home Arena is at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Myrtle Beach Speedway

The Myrtle Beach Speedway is a half-mile, asphalt tri-oval sanctioned by NASCAR. Races are held every Saturday April through September. Events include both professional and amateur racing.
