Advertising and sponsorship opportunities
Some 2 million people come through the doors of the Midwest Airlines Center, U.S. Cellular Arena and Milwaukee Theatre every year, and untold numbers drive, ride or walk past the facilities in their daily travels, providing abundant opportunities inside and out to make targeted advertising impressions. Vehicles for this advertising range from TV ads running in rotation on plasma video screens in the public areas of the Midwest Airlines Center, to lighted signage in the U.S. Cellular Arena concourses and scoreboard, to "title sponsorship" of entire facilities or interior spaces. If you'd like to reach convention attendees, event patrons or the many thousands of others who use our facilities, and want to learn more about the advertising and sponsorship opportunities, media and markets we offer, please contact Richard Freiberg at 414.908.6056 or Rfreiberg@wcd.org.
