You don't have to convince me that Milwaukee is a major league city, especially when it comes to sports.
Today, the staff at bleacherreport.com takes note and calls Milwaukee a "Top Five Major League Underdog Town."

It's much more than its beer-town reputation suggests, always with something to prove."
It continues, "As Rust Belt cities go, Milwaukee is more prosperous than most. Their skyline is dominated by new shapes, more glass and steel than brick and stucco.

The Midwest Airlines Center is a world class convention and exhibition facility in close proximity to their beautiful Downtown arena, the Bradley Center."
