The Erie Sports Commission announced a new sports development coordinator has been appointed to help attract and support sporting events in Erie County.
Kyle Anderson, who was raised in Erie and most recently worked for the Erie SeaWolves, will fill the role. Anderson will work to attract new sporting events to Erie County, assist in servicing existing events and support efforts to grow sports tourism in the county.
He will work closely with executive director Ben Huggler and event and marketing manager Sydney Dietz, according to the Erie Sports Commission. The organization stated its mission is to drive economic impact through sports.
After graduation, Anderson joined the Erie SeaWolves as an account executive before moving into the community affairs coordinator role. In that position, he managed community programs, fundraising initiatives, community partnerships and special events.
Anderson most recently led the SeaWolves’ efforts to win the 2026 MiLB Together Award. The award recognizes a Minor League Baseball team for an ongoing commitment to charitable services, support and leadership within the local community and baseball industry.
“I am excited to join the Erie Sports Commission and begin this next chapter of my career,” said Kyle Anderson, sports development coordinator of the Erie Sports Commission. “Erie has played a major role in my personal and professional development, and I look forward to promoting the region, supporting event organizers and contributing to the continued growth of tourism in Erie.”
