Located on the southern shore of our namesake lake, Erie is the Flagship City and Pennsylvania's primary access point to the Great Lakes. Erie is home to several semi-pro sports teams with plenty to do on land or water.
The Erie Sports Commission offers comprehensive support for attracting and hosting sporting events in Erie County, based on your event’s individual needs.
The nearest major airport is Erie International Airport (ERI / KERI). This airport has domestic flights and is 6 miles from the center of Erie, PA.
Erie is also located at the intersection of two major interstates (Interstate 90 and 79), making it an easily drivable destination. Our region is equidistant from three major cities: Pittsburgh, Buffalo (NY) and Cleveland (OH).
