Madison Area Sports Commission
We make events aspirational. Experiences memorable. Relationships unforgettable.
Welcome to Madison, WI — the place with a lake-city-lake landscape that creates a perpetual playground. A place where inspiration is found in sparkling lakes, winding trails, rolling hills and roaring stadiums. Athletes love that our scenery is stunning. But that’s just the beginning.
Our team has 50+ years of experience bringing sports of all sorts to Madison. Our creativity and flexibility means we’re focused on making every event a perfect fit. Plus, we’re the kind of people who earn trust, create confidence and form friendships that last long after the championship game is done.
Get set to compete in a city where athletes are inspired to run faster. Climb higher. Bike further. Lift stronger. Stay longer.
