"The Reno, Tahoe, Sparks area is exciting for us. I didn’t know Sparks existed until 5 years ago. It really is The Adventure Place. Where else in the world is the largest concentration of ski and snowboard users in the world. We’ve got golf courses. We’ve got the Truckee River for fly fishing and kayaking. We’ve got Pyramid Lake opens up here on October 1st. We’ve got hunting and fishing and camping, hiking and mountain biking. Those are sports that we live and we thought wow! We could put a store there, right there in that Mecca. "

- Steve Scheel, CEO Scheel’s All Sports on why locating the world’s largest sporting goods store in Sparks, Nevada made sense.
