Home to the Bucks’ All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Brewers’ National League MVP Christian Yelich, Milwaukee was named the No. 10 Outdoor Adventure Sports Spot by Sports Event Magazine. It’s an attractive, affordable, sports-friendly city that’s ideal for hosting sporting events from baseball, hockey, and fencing to table tennis, speed skating and gymnastics. Along with first-class facilities, its location on scenic Lake Michigan is the perfect backdrop for marathons, triathlons and beach volleyball tournaments. They’ve even got freshwater surfing and scuba diving!

Milwaukee has hosted the USA Ultimate College Championship, USA Weightlifting American Open Finals, US Speedskating’s U.S. Olympic Long Track Team Trials and the USA Fencing North American Cup.
