The big question coming out of the Greater Lansing Sports Authority this Fall is –

DID YOU KNOW?!

For example, did you know the GLSA has been around for over a decade now? Did you know that the impact on the local sports and tourism community over that time has been incredible? And did you further know, that the GLSA is the local voice for amateur sports tournaments and events and a full-service sports commission, ready to make every game in Greater Lansing a huge success?
