Chicago Sports Events Culture

Regardless of your sports preference, Chicago is the perfect place to root for your team. In fact, the city is home to one of the most successful franchises in the NHL. They’ve won the Stanley Cup twice in the last few years. And, they’re not the only ones to make it big in the Windy City.

The city is also home to several minor league baseball teams, several amateur sports teams, and a few professional teams. As a result, you’ll never be short on games to play.

The city’s sports creds are further bolstered by the fact that its population of nearly 3 million is a diverse horde of athletes and fans. With that many players on the court, you can bet that there will be plenty of crowd-pleasing acts on the schedule.

There is a reason why the city is crowned as the best sports town in the country. Not only are the teams above average, but they are good for the local economy as a whole. Among other things, the Cubs contribute more than $600 million to Illinois’ coffers each year.

The tidbit of this sports town is that the city is the home of the world’s largest sporting event, the Maccabi Games. This multi-sport extravaganza, which drew a massive audience in 2013, features the most talented players in the sport from around the world. It’s a great reason to visit this cosmopolitan city. As a result, the area is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.
