Whether it is a football, hockey, or golf game, there is no shortage of high stakes sports in the Windy City. A few well-known professional sports teams call Chicago home, but the amateurs are just as likely to make their home in the second most populous metropolitan area in the country. The city has a sizable sports fan base and its storied Blackhawks hockey franchise notwithstanding. The city also houses a handful of minor league baseball and lacrosse teams. It is no wonder that the Chicago metro area is the envy of the surrounding suburbs. The city is also home to a few tech startups, and is a great place to live, work, and play. This is particularly true of the affluent suburbs. The city also boasts a handful of world class museums and art galleries, a couple of notable hotels, and plenty of other perks. One of the most appealing things about this metropolitan area is the vast selection of microbreweries, pubs, and wineries, which is a pleasant change from the typical sports bar.
