In addition to recognizing the best high school talent and teams in the state, the tournaments showcase a number of the state's finest facilities, the UW campus and the City of Madison.

Camp Randall Stadium has been home to the WIAA State Football Finals since 1982, and University Ridge has served as host of the girls and boys State Golf Championships since 1994, with the exception of the girls tournament this fall because of course renovations.
