There's now an A-10 basketball court replica inside Richmond airport
Why it matters: The "terminal takeover" is in celebration of the A10 Women's Basketball Championship, which will play out at the Henrico Sports & Events Center on March 5-9.
The big picture: The court, which is regulation width and nearly half the length of a regular court, took six hours to install on Saturday, according to a news release from the Richmond airport.
It sits on the upper level at RIC, just above baggage claim, and will be there for at least two weeks, airport spokesperson Troy Bell tells Axios.
The public can walk and roll their luggage across the court, but sadly it's for "display only and is not meant for competitive play," per the release.
There also aren't any basketballs available if travelers wanted to play a quick game of H-O-R-S-E.
Yes, but: Should one happen to have a ball on their person, they might be able to get in a free throw or two.
The bottom line: If you're heading to the airport in the next few weeks, you should absolutely not slip a basketball into your carry-on.
We'd never recommend someone break airport rules.

Salt Lakers flock to adult sports leagues for fun and friends
A growing number of Salt Lakers are lacing up for adult sports leagues to get active and socially connected. Why it matters: Team sports have become one of the fastest-growing exercise categories, with 20% of U.S. adults — up from 11% in 2020 — now saying they play, according to a CivicScience survey shared with Axios. What we're hearing: Dave Marquardt, who founded Beehive Sport and Social Club in 2011, said many people join because they're new to town and want to make friends. Others want to support their mental health or blow off steam after work. If someone is seeking a competitive outlet, Marquardt sends them elsewhere. "That's not what we do," he told Axios. "We try to create a comfortable atmosphere for people of all backgrounds ... to socialize and have fun." Some even find love — over 50 couples who met through the sports league have tied the knot over the years, according to Marquardt. By the numbers: League participation has surged 171% since 2019, according to Marquardt. He projects a 19% jump from 2024. The league offers a dozen sports, but kickball and softball are the most popular. Zoom in: Stonewall Sports, a popular adult league geared toward LGBTQ+ players and allies, launched in Salt Lake City in 2019 after chapter founder Jacob Buck moved from Chicago and sought ways to build community. Buck told Axios it's "a great place for people to get out of their comfort zone" beyond bars and clubs. State of play: Getting outside with friends (and without screens) has become especially important to younger adults, said Galen Beers, executive director of the Sport & Social Industry Association. The most popular sports last year were volleyball (30% of total players), soccer (18%) and softball (15%), per preliminary data from the trade group, which counts roughly 150 leagues as members.

Parks are economic drivers, especially in rural Tennessee
Welcome to Day 3 of Tennessee Trailheads: This week, each edition of Axios Nashville will explore a different aspect of the parks where we picnic and play. Subscribe to Axios Nashville here for the next installment. The Hiwassee River, which swerves through the forests of southeast Tennessee, is one of the state's natural wonders. For the people who live around the river in Polk County, it's also a surging current of cash. Why it matters: The river that forms the spine of a Tennessee state park is emblematic of the economic power parks have in Tennessee. It is one of the top draws for local tax revenue driven from the state park system. By the numbers: Tennessee state parks have an economic impact of $1.9 billion, according to a recent analysis of spending trends during fiscal year 2024. Visitor spending generated $111.8 million in state taxes and $22.1 million in local tax revenue in that time frame. The intrigue: Rural communities tend to out-punch their weight. Zoom in: Polk County, home to the Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park, has a population of 18,338. But it was the third-highest winner based on local tax revenue from parks, one measure of the broader financial impact. That county pulled in more than $1.5 million in local sales tax revenue. The other side: That's almost even with Davidson County's haul, drawn from spending tied to Bicentennial Mall, Radnor Lake and Long Hunter state parks. Between the lines: Parks play an outsized role in lush rural areas that are home to coursing waterfalls, sprawling campgrounds and rugged trails. Zoom out: Tennessee has worked for years to leverage parks for the benefit of struggling rural counties. Flashback: When the new Fall Creek Falls lodge opened in 2022, Pikeville Mayor Phil Cagle told reporters it would be a boon for his East Tennessee neighbors. The previous park inn had closed years earlier. "We've missed having this there, and the people coming and staying at the park and coming down here and spending money and coming to the local grocery stores," Cagle said at the time, per a news report. The big picture: The state's goal is building a portfolio of parks that celebrate different interests and settings, says Greer Tidwell, who oversees the park system as the deputy commissioner for TDEC's Bureau of Conservation. "Each one of our parks special and brings a special draw," he tells Axios. "It's not like a hamburger chain. They're not all competing with each other for generating the most revenue." The bottom line: The financial impact of parks comes hand-in-hand with an emotional power. Tidwell spoke to Axios from Cumberland Mountain State Park on the plateau. He says his mother first came there during a high school field trip in 1958, and it has become a favorite vacation spot his family. Those personal stories are some of the state's best marketing tools. And they highlight a different kind of impact. "We run these operations in a business-like approach, we want repeat customers," Tidwell says.

Oregon Ducks express sympathy in wake of injured WR Evan Stewart
Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart was a major piece of the team's passing attack a season ago, finishing the year with the second-most receptions (48), tied for second in receiving touchdowns (five) and was third in receiving yards (613) despite missing the final two games. He was especially impressive in Oregon's regular season upset victory over the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, in which he reeled in seven catches for a career-high 149 yards and a touchdown in the 32-31 win. Entering his senior season, he was expected to step in as the Ducks' go-to pass-catcher on the outside. A dangerous vertical threat who uses his speed well in excelling after the catch, he was shaping up to have a breakout season after entering college football as the No. 1 receiver in the 2022 class, per 247 Sports. That expectation came to a screeching halt in early June when Stewart suffered a torn patellar tendon, starting the clock on a months-long recovery that may cause him to miss the entire 2025-26 season. While the injury was surely tough on Stewart, his teammates and head coach Dan Lanning also felt for the injured receiver. "It hurts my soul understanding how E-Stew went down and him not being here," expressed quarterback Dante Moore, speaking at Oregon's 2025 Media Day. "He's going to be down for a while," Lanning told SI during Big Ten Media Days. "I don't want to put a timeline on Evan. I don't know how long that'll be, but he's on the road recovery and he's done a lot for the Ducks. We love having him be a part of our team and hopefully at some point he can make an impact for us. But I don't know exactly what that looks like." But, as what happens in the world of team sports, the collective group has to step up and fill the void left behind. Tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who's expected to receive plenty of targets this season, was asked about the feeling of having to step up in Stewart's absence. "I mean, there are a lot of people who are able to step up, so it's not like one person has to take on the full load of what Evan does, but there's a lot of people who are able to get in there and still make plays," he said. Moore expressed a similar sentiment, noting the talent at the receiver position. "We've got a great receiving room still. We've still got a lot of playmakers. We've got a lot of guys with not much experience, but that's how the whole team is, though. Everybody is hungry. Everybody is ready to compete. Everybody is ready to make sure they get better every single day." "It's the University of Oregon," Moore continued. "We have playmakers here. We might as well get used to getting those guys out there and playing. E-Stew is of course a huge piece of this offense, but I feel we have other playmakers as well to make sure we get there.' Those other playmakers in the receiver room include true freshman Dakorien Moore, returning contributor Justius Lowe and Florida State transfer Malik Benson. All three have talent, but the one who could raise the ceiling the highest is Moore, who was the top-rated receiver in the 2025 class. He enrolled early to join the Ducks for spring practices and impressed during the spring game. "We'd be lying if we said there wasn't an opportunity now for other guys to be able to step up and create a role for themselves," Lanning said at Oregon's Media Day. "So, I'm excited to see how that all plays out. I feel I have a lot of confidence in that room." But, as Sadiq mentioned, picking up the slack in Stewart's absence doesn't just come from the receiver room. Sadiq is expected to have a breakout season himself after catching 24 passes for 308 yards and two scores in a reserve role as a sophomore in 2024. Moore even went as far as calling him "the best tight end in the country." With what's expected to be among the top offensive lines in the Big Ten, the running game could also become more of a factor. Tulane transfer running back Makai Hughes ran for 2,779 yards and 22 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Green Wave before coming to Oregon. He'll be joining forces with fellow bancks in Noah Whittington (540 yards and six touchdowns last season) and Jayden Limar, who's expected to take a leap as a junior this season. Moore, the presumed starter at quarterback, could also be a factor on the ground after claiming he was clocked at 21.5 miles per hour this summer. At the top, offensive coordinator Will Stein has proven to be one of the top offensive masterminds in the nation. In two seasons on the job, he's engineered the fourth-best scoring offense (2023) and the eighth-best scoring offense (2024). Stewart's injury is extremely unfortunate, with the timing coming in the summer before his senior season. It's not hard to see that he beloved amongst teammates and his head coach, who expressed their sympathies for the receiver. But in his absence, an opportunity arises — with an entire offense able and ready to come together and fill the void in 2025.
