NOTE: If you are attending the tournament, plan ahead! This will be the last year that Milwaukee hosts GenCon (it is moving to Indianapolis next year), primarily due to the lack of hotel space (some GenCon participants last year needed emergency housing at the UW-Milwaukee dorms). Note that GenCon (a large tourist draw) falls on the same weekend as the Wisconsin State Fair, and the Brewers are in town at the still-new Miller Park. Hotel space will be at a premium! Here is a fairly comprehensive list of Milwaukee Hotels.
