Sports & Events in the Black Hills

Rapid City’s mild climate, central location and great air service make us an easily accessible sports destination. We have great facilities for everything from foosball to football, rodeo to racing. We hold bragging rights to the friendliest, most supportive sports community in the northern hemisphere.



Rapid City has fostered the growth of youth and adult athletes for over one hundred years. In that time we’ve sent local athletes to the NBA, NFL, MLB, PRCA, the Olympics and many other professional sports leagues on several occasions.

Why not stay and play after your event? With five national parks and monuments, the largest reptile collection in the world, buffalo safaris, and miles of ancient forest standing among the borders of our city, sports events can quickly take the shape of a family vacation. Rapid City and the Black Hills are not the biggest marks on the map—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
