This fall, Beemok Sports & Entertainment will once again transform world-class venues into one-of-a-kind sports experiences, bringing elite college basketball to Charleston and Cincinnati in settings unlike anywhere else in the country.
The LinkU Invitational will take over Credit One Stadium in Charleston on Sunday, Sept. 27, while the CareSource Invitational comes to the Lindner Family Tennis Center on Wednesday, Oct. 7, showcasing four marquee college basketball matchups across two iconic outdoor venues.
The events reflect Beemok Sports & Entertainment’s continued commitment to reimagining how fans experience sports by creating memorable moments that extend far beyond the final buzzer.
“We are constantly looking for opportunities to reimagine how fans experience sports,” said Bob Moran, President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment. “These two events are a direct reflection of that mission. From Charleston to Cincinnati, we want fans to walk away feeling like they’ve been part of something truly special.”
