BIG-LEAGUE SPORTS. HOMETOWN PRIDE.

Southeastern Wisconsin loves a good game—and knows how to celebrate a win. From major-league ballparks and championship basketball to hockey, soccer, hometown baseball and some of the nation’s most celebrated golf courses, sports are part of the Wisconsin experience year-round.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS — FEAR THE DEER

The Milwaukee Bucks bring NBA action to Fiserv Forum in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. The 2021 NBA Champions have helped make the surrounding Deer District a destination of its own, where thousands gather for games, concerts and special events.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS — BASEBALL, BRATS & TAILGATING

Few things say Wisconsin summer like a Brewers game. The Milwaukee Brewers take the field at American Family Field, where baseball comes with one of the best pregame traditions around—fire up the grill, pull out the lawn chairs and tailgate with the home crowd.

MORE BASEBALL. MORE HOMETOWN FUN.

The Brewers aren’t the only game in town. The Milwaukee Milkmen bring independent professional baseball and plenty of family fun to Franklin Field. Head west to Oconomowoc for the Lake Country DockHounds, playing professional baseball at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park. And in Mequon, the Lakeshore Chinooks showcase top collegiate talent in the Northwoods League.

Three ballparks, three distinctly local experiences—and plenty of summer nights at the diamond.

MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS — HIT THE ICE

Fast, physical and fun, the Milwaukee Admirals bring AHL hockey to UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena downtown. As the top affiliate of the NHL’s Nashville Predators, the Admirals offer fans the chance to see tomorrow’s NHL stars today.

MILWAUKEE WAVE — FAST-PACED. HIGH-SCORING. INDOORS.

The Milwaukee Wave has been thrilling local soccer fans for decades. One of the country’s most successful indoor soccer franchises, the Wave combines fast-paced professional play with an energetic, family-friendly atmosphere.

GREEN BAY PACKERS — WORTH THE DRIVE

About two hours north of Milwaukee sits one of the most legendary venues in professional sports: Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Packers football is more than a game in Wisconsin—it’s a tradition passed from one generation to the next.

COLLEGE SPORTS — BRING ON THE RIVALRIES

College sports add another level of excitement. Marquette University brings Big East basketball to Fiserv Forum, while the UW–Milwaukee Panthers compete in NCAA Division I athletics. A short trip west to Madison puts fans in the middle of Wisconsin Badgers country, with Big Ten football, basketball, hockey, volleyball and more.

WISCONSIN GOLF — CHAMPIONSHIP COURSES & UNFORGETTABLE VIEWS

Wisconsin has earned a place on the international golf stage, hosting the Ryder Cup, U.S. Open, PGA Championship, U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Amateur Championship.

Along the Lake Michigan shoreline, Whistling Straits pairs dramatic links-style golf with sweeping lake views and has hosted the Ryder Cup and multiple PGA Championships. Erin Hills, northwest of Milwaukee, hosted the 2017 U.S. Open and continues to attract major championship golf. Kohler’s Blackwolf Run has twice hosted the U.S. Women’s Open, while SentryWorld in Stevens Point welcomed the U.S. Senior Open in 2023.

And championship venues are only the beginning. Southeastern Wisconsin is filled with public, resort and private courses, making it easy to find everything from a casual afternoon round to a bucket-list golf getaway.

Pack the clubs. Pick a team. Join the crowd. From championship fairways to courts, fields, rinks and ballparks, there’s always something to cheer for in Wisconsin.
