Each year Spokane hosts the world's largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament. For the event, they shut down all of the roads in the downtown area and turn the streets into hundreds of mini basketball courts. This year they had:
7,046 Teams
27,876 Players
458 Courts
485 Brackets
3,000 Volunteers
14,000 Games
Ryan has talked this event up for years but I was totally amazed at the actual size of the tournament. They literally turn the city into one big "Hoop-fest." At every corner we turned there was another long row of basketball hoops along with hundreds of players and spectators. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1Frqi3U-BO0OfBBttCfHgqTQWomW3_sT3fsGjLAtISKymtve3jWdD581MX7uACK-qGP2HIfWnIijtckPikg-LcWFgKq0DHvb8jGStT3BVSOMzMM1ZLxMoBmMy9va00NH8NorIcFgiXH0/s400/Hoopfest2-edited.jpg)
