Several major league sports teams call Chicago home. The city has a plethora of amateur and professional sports teams to choose from. A few years back, the NFL playoffs graced our shores. The latest in a long line of renaissances, the NFL playoffs are a boon to the area.

The best part of the NFL playoffs is the number of job creation and economic stimulation it has spawned. This is not to say that the city is devoid of crime or violence, it is just that a few extra bucks in the pockets of some hardworking Illinoisans is a welcome change of pace. Having said that, the crime rate has been on the rise over the past few years. The best defense is to be prepared. With that in mind, you may want to consider a bit of a financial overhaul, a little booze, and some help from your friends and family.

The heydays of sports may have passed us by but the fact remains that the city’s sports teams continue to thrive. Even the Chicago Cubs are making headlines in the world of baseball. The defending champs are looking to regain their status in the next few months. With the help of newfound funding, the team is on their way to a possible championship.
