Sports & Entertainment
One of the biggest draws of the Quad Cities is the i
wireless Center. The i wireless Center features concerts of all musical
persuasions, sporting events, and endless international acts
in its 12,000-seat arena.
Sports enthusiasts are not to be left out! The Quad
Cities is proud to be one of only 43 stops on the PGA
Tour. The John Deere Classic is played at the scenic
TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. The
Quad Cities embraces its minor league pro sports
franchises. The American Hockey League brings
excitement to the i wireless Center as the Quad City Flames
begin their second season in 2008. When the ice melts,
it is replaced with turf for the Quad City Steamwheelers,
our Arena Football team, which has the i wireless Center
jumping from May to August. Professional
baseball has been a mainstay in the Quad Cities for more
than 60 years... with Modern Woodmen Park which sits along
the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The recently
renovated stadium is home to the Quad Cities River Bandits. The
Quad City Riverhawks joined the Quad Cities in 2006.
The Riverhawks are part of the American Basketball
Association and will be kicking off their third season in
2008. Catch a game with the Riverhawks, and you are
sure to enjoy an exciting night of basketball.
During the summer months, the Quad Cities also hosts numerous
annual festivals. Locals and visitors alike enjoy
the live sights, sounds, and smells at dozens of festivals
on both sides of the river.
