Springfield was named a SportsTown USA by Sports Illustrated and it's easy to see why.

This city has plenty to offer for spectators, including Springfield Cardinals AA baseball, the Springfield Lasers professional tennis team, a plethora of college sports - basketball, baseball, hockey, etc. - and even more amateur sports events year round.

Several public golf courses are available along with the Ozark Greenways Trails for hiking and biking, dozens of parks for relaxation and Mediacom Ice Park for skating.
