DE Turf Hosts Local Special Olympics Athletes At M&T Bank Field For Sports Training Clinic
On October 4, Special Olympics Delaware athletes took place in a sports training clinic hosted at the DE Turf Sports Complex in Frederica with M&T Bank. Athletes from local schools participated in technical and skills drills with Special Olympics coaches and M&T Bank volunteers. The event commemorated the opening of DE Turf and the positive impact it has had on Delaware’s communities and economy. Almost 90,000 out-of-state visitors have attended tournaments and booked approximately 16,000 hotel rooms. Last year, M&T Bank announced it issued bonds in the sum of $20.7 million for the construction and development of DE Turf, which allowed the sports complex to take advantage of historically low interest rates by locking in long-term, fixed-rate financing over a 30-year term.
