MILWAUKEE -- Thousands of people filled Veteran's Memorial Park Saturday for a big rugby tournament. 
 
Eighty-one adult and high school teams from all over, came to town for it -- adding to this weekend's big economic impact. 
 
Rugby is really growing in popularity. It became an Olympic sport at the summer games last year. 
 
The tournament also supported the Hunger Task Force with a food drive.
