More ways to fuel the competition

In the Quad Cities, sports aren’t just something we watch — they’re something we live. From the roar of the crowds to the rush of the race, competitive spirit runs deep here. Catch the action with our professional teams like the Quad City River Bandits, a Minor League Baseball team playing at iconic Modern Woodmen Park along the Mississippi River, or feel the energy at a Quad City Storm hockey game at Vibrant Arena at THE MARK. Soccer fans can cheer on the Quad City Strikers, while motorsports lovers won’t want to miss the heart-pounding excitement at the Cordova Dragway.

Beyond the pros, the QC sports scene is filled with unique, grassroots thrills. Watch high-flying stunts at East Moline BMX, or check out the Backwater Gamblers, our award-winning waterski show team that dazzles on the Rock River all summer long. Golf fans flock to TPC Deere Run, home of the PGA TOUR’s John Deere Classic, while runners, cyclists, and triathletes have no shortage of competitive races and events throughout the year.

In every season, across every field, track, rink, or river, the Quad Cities is full of passionate athletes, loyal fans, and unforgettable moments.
