With great venues and numerous outstanding attractions, you'll find Lake County is the ideal location for your sports event.

Lake County has much to offer organizations and event rights holders. We understand that there is more to hosting an event than what takes place on the field. Between the beautiful lakefront of Lake Michigan and over 75 inland lakes, to the excitement of the thrilling rides of Six Flag's Great America, there is plenty to do after the competition is over. We also have over 8,500 hotel rooms to take care of competitors and their families.

The sports facilities in Lake County are exceptional. The Libertyville Soccer Complex is easily one of the finest collections of soccer fields in the country. Nearby is the multi-purpose Libertyville Sports Complex with 168,000 sq. ft of indoor space. The Waukegan Field House and the Round Lake Beach Sports Complex both have 40,000 sq. ft, and The Lake Barrington Fieldhouse features 175,000 sq. ft of indoor floor space. The Lake County Fairgrounds offers 75,000 sq. ft of indoor floor space. Waukegan will soon open an outdoor complex including softball, baseball, and soccer fields. Additionally, a new permanent minor league baseball stadium will open in spring, 2011 in Zion. Lake County also boasts 37 public golf courses for every level of player, and plenty of perfect locations for outdoor competitions from boating and fishing to triathlons.
