57 Reasons To Live in West Michigan

Sports Teams
From stellar collegiate to semi-pro, West Michigan is home to more sports teams than you can possibly see in a year. In the fall, check out the reigning D2 football national champions, the Grand Valley State Lakers, or the nationally ranked Hope College men’s soccer team. Then, when the lakes freeze over, cheer on the Grand Rapids Griffins (affiliated with the Detroit Red Wings) hockey team. If you’re still craving more, the Grand Rapids Rampage arena football team and the West Michigan Whitecaps AAA baseball team (affiliated with the Detroit Tigers) will satisfy your need for hard hits and home runs.
