Chicago News Sports Events Culture

Chicago has a proud sports culture that has garnered awards in its own right. For instance, the city was listed as the best sports city in the world two years in a row. The Chicago Cubs and the Blackhawks are the toast of the town, and the city is a hotbed of baseball and football, respectively.

Sports have played a big role in bringing fans and players together. They also serve as a catalyst to get kids up and active. In fact, in 2013, the economic impact of the game was a whopping 456,000 jobs. So, it is not surprising that the city is the sports capital of the Midwest. However, it’s not all about sports, as the city is a great place to live. The city is home to many restaurants and a slew of cultural attractions, making it a top contender for the title of ‘best cities to live in’.

While there are several reasons to root for the Bulls or the Bears, one of the most rewarding things about being a sports fan is that you’re part of a community. For example, when the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010, the fans flooded the streets. This was a great thing for the city, as it helped improve the livability factor. In addition, the fans have contributed to the local economy in the form of donations to charities and businesses. So, if you’re looking to find a new job or simply looking to get into the swing of things, the City of Chicago may be the place for you.
