Thousands of Games of Texas Athletes and Guests Boosted Our Local Economy by $6.5 Million

The 2025 Texas Amateur Athletic Federation’s Summer Games of Texas brought more than 7,100 athletes from across the state to Bryan and College Station from July 31-Aug. 3, generating an estimated $6.5 million for the local economy.

The Olympic-style festival featured nine sports at venues across both cities and Texas A&M University.

About 10,312 coaches, family members, and friends accompanied the athletes, filling restaurants and hotels throughout the four-day event. The cities of Bryan and College Station, along with Texas A&M, have hosted the Games eight times, including five times since 2014. The Games will return from July 30-Aug. 2, 2026.
