Richland County and the city of Mansfield are known for its reformatory and the role it played in making the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption.'The Mansfield Reformatory alone brings in 100,000 to 120,000 visitors a year. Officials want the county to be known as a destination for soccer tournaments across the country.

“So beyond the tournaments that will be here, it's going to draw kids regularly to come up here and train,' said Lee Tassef, who is the president of Destination Mansfield. 'So the activity it's going to bring is almost going to be year-round and nonstop.'So far, the YMCA of North Central Ohio has raised $9 million for its campaign of $22 million.
