The city’s sporting prowess has been a boon to the local economy. In 2009, the sports related economy grew by 456,000 jobs. In the same year, the state of Illinois added an estimated $600 million to the bottom line. The most popular sports team in the state, the Chicago Bulls, ruled the roost in the 90s.

From the Chicago Bears to the Chicago Cubs to the Cubs minor league affiliate, the city has a history of putting up a good fight. The city also has a burgeoning arts and culture scene. Among the many highlights of this renaissance is the flourishing sports culture. In the past, the city has hosted major sporting events such as the NCAA’s Tournament of Champions and the National Hockey League All Star Game.

The Chicago news sports event culture is a reflection of the resurgence of the city. From the swanky new Chicago Hilton to the old school taverns, the renaissance has given the city a jolt of life.
