The following list outlines some of the more notable sports related activities that have occurred in and around the Windy City.

The Chicago Bears have been in the NFL for more than a hundred years, but they didn’t win the big one in the past. In the past, they have played in the Super Bowl, which is one of the most exciting things to watch as a kid. The Chicago Bulls were the most dominant basketball team in the 1990s, but they haven’t done it in a while.
