Enjoy a Sporting Event

Celebrate the turning of the season by cheering on your favorite sports teams. Milwaukee is the home of champions! Here are a few ideas for cheering on your Milwaukee athletes and more this April. 

Celebrate at the Sportsbook – Whether your favorite team is playing at home or away, you can watch them at the Potawatomi Sportsbook. We have seating and dining to fit all of your sporting needs. Looking to watch the game alone? No problem; we have comfy recliners for you to sit back and relax in. Wanting to celebrate with your whole crew? We have you covered with different seating options and locations. The worst thing you can do is lose out on good seats, so check out the Sportsbook page to see if your event has a table reservation for the best seats in the house. You can find out here. Did you know we also do brunch at the Sportsbook? Those early morning sporting events just got even better – choose from classic Momma’s Pancakes or a hearty breakfast burrito while watching your favorite teams, fighters, and overall athletes compete.

Enjoy America’s favorite pastime - Become part of the Brew Crew and cheer the Brewers to a win! The Milwaukee Brewers have called MKE home since 1970, and we love watching them play. Watch as Bernine Brewer takes a trip down the slide for every Brewer home run while you enjoy a brewski with your fellow Wisconsinites. Every day is a great day for baseball with the retractable roof at American Family Field.

Milwaukee Brewers Schedule

Make a break to the playoffs with the Bucks – As the regular season is cooling off, playoff season is just heating up for the Milwaukee Bucks. The final regular season game is on April 13, and Potawatomi’s Street Team has a treat for you. Guests who visit the Potawatomi Club during the game can play a free pull tab game to win Potawatomi Casino Hotel swag, an autographed jersey, an autographed basketball, and more! So book your tickets today and cheer on your Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA playoff spot. If you see the Potawatomi Street Team, stop by for your chance to win.

Milwaukee Bucks Schedule

Bring more cowbell with the Milwaukee Admirals – This year, the Milwaukee Admirals beat the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people ringing cowbells at a single event! Let’s give them more cowbell and help them bring home a Calder Cup victory this season. As it stands, the Ads are on point to play in the Calder Cup Playoffs Central division for the third year in a row. The Calder Cup is a tournament for AHL teams nationwide to compete to determine an overall champion. After an impressive run in 2023 and 2024, we hope the Admirals bring it home to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this year.
