    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." In a second in a series of articles about "the greatest underdog venues in U.S. pro sports," bleacherreport.com says, "Milwaukee is a small market, Rust Belt town, reinvented, but still misunderstood. 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. Their lakefront glistens with Calatrava's new wing at the Milwaukee Art Museum. There are vibrant retail districts in and near Downtown. The Midwest Airlines Center is a world class convention and exhibition facility in close proximity to their beautiful Downtown arena, the Bradley Center."
