Chicago is the third largest city in the United States with nearly 3 million people. Known as the “melting pot” of the Midwest, the city is home to a number of amateur and professional sports teams. As a result, sports are a major part of the city’s culture. It is consistently ranked in the top fifteen sports cities worldwide. The city was home to the first Heisman Trophy winner and has a variety of volunteer opportunities within the sports industry.

The Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks are two of the most popular sports teams in the city. During the 1990s, the Bulls dominated the NBA with Michael ‘Air’ Jordan leading the team. In more recent years, the Chicago Blackhawks have won two Stanley Cups, one in 2010 and one in 2013.
