The National Sports Festival, which was started in 1946, has been held annually as a nation widespread festival of sports for promoting sports broadly throughout the nation. However, it has been indicated that there are many problems regarding management and operation of the festival. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the opinions of host town\u27s residents about the National Sports Festival, during the unofficial approval period before the festival. The results of this paper were as follows; 1) The rate of people who have shown interest about the festival were almost 50%. 2) The factor which determined the opposition or support of the festival was "level of willingness to take part in the festival" and also "level of concerns about their community". 3) The rate of people who were willing to support local athletes were about 20%, 40% of people did not have such will, and the rest of 40% of the people were undecided. 4) The factor which determined the willing to support the festival was "volunteer spirit" and also "interest in the festival". 5) To our surprise, a factor regarding "past experience in sport activities" did not have any relationship with the opinion regarding the festival. These observation were obtained from the results of the multiple analysis, using quantification theory II.
