Whatever your choice in sports - and whether you’re looking to watch or play - the Milwaukee Region has an event for you. The seven-county region is home to at least one professional event for almost every major sport - golf, baseball, basketball, hockey and auto racing. Football fans can travel north approximately two hours to historic Lambeau Field to see the Green Bay Packers in action during the fall.

Major recent investments have been made in the region’s sporting facilities, including Miller Park, the home of the Milwaukee Brewers professional baseball team; and the Milwaukee Mile, the oldest continuously operating motor speedway in the world. The BMO Harris Bradley Center is home to the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, Milwaukee Admirals hockey team and Milwaukee Wave soccer team. The new $525 million Milwaukee Bucks professional basketball arena is scheduled to open in time for the 2018-19 NBA season and expected to spur an additional $500 million in entertainment, residential and office development.

The region also is home to two Division I collegiate basketball teams - the Marquette Golden Eagles and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers.
