Chicago Sports Events Culture

Whether you’re a diehard fan or an armchair aficionado, sports are a big deal in Chicago. From the Cubs to the Bears, the city is home to a plethora of professional, minor league and minor sport teams. The Chicago area is home to some of the most exciting sporting events in the country. For example, the Chicago Blackhawks have won two Stanley Cups in the last two years. Considering the fact that the team’s fans are among the most loyal in the NFL, it’s no wonder that the city is dubbed the home of sports. The city also happens to have the largest postsecondary programming in the state.

Sports and their kin are responsible for more than a few thousand job creations in the Chicago area each year. This is especially true when it comes to the big leagues. For example, the Chicago Bulls ruled the basketball circuit in the nineties. In fact, the city was once the home of Michael ‘Air’ Jordan. For this reason alone, Chicago is a sports fan’s paradise.

One of the best places to enjoy a game or two is at the Globe Pub in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood. The bar and grill is conveniently located within walking distance of both the Magnificent Mile and the Loop. Despite the neighborhood’s high rents and shady neighbors, the bar is still a great place to unwind. Luckily, the beer is free. It’s also home to one of the best happy hour specials in town.
