Jan 30, 2026

Looking for a sports destination that delivers on every level? Welcome to Mobile, Alabama — a coastal city where competition meets culture, history and hospitality. From facilities for every sport to unforgettable experiences off the field, Mobile offers everything you need to host a standout sporting event.


Set along Mobile Bay and just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, this historic Port City blends global influence with Southern charm. Six flags have flown over Mobile throughout its history, shaping its architecture, cuisine, music and traditions. It’s also the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the New World — and a place where visitors can explore historic districts, cruise beautiful waterways, enjoy fresh seafood, or tour a real World War II battleship.


Whether your guests prefer action on the water, relaxation by the beach, or discovering sports history (including five Major League Baseball Hall of Famers born right here), Mobile offers something memorable for everyone.
