Chicago Sports Events Culture – Illinois Michigan Business

Whether you’re a sports fanatic or not, you’re likely to find yourself smack dab in the middle of the Windy City’s sporting hubs. Among other things, Chicago is home to the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Blackhawks and several minor league baseball teams. Among those, the Bears and White Sox have longstanding partnerships, while the Bulls and Blackhawks have played the role of mascot and mascot alike, respectively.

The city also plays host to many notable sports events, including the World Series and the NBA playoffs. Besides, sports and entertainment are big business in Chicago. For instance, the Chicago Magical Forest is a public-private partnership that aims to restore and preserve the city’s oldest park, the “Magical Forest” for all to enjoy. Similarly, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (CMSI) is one of the largest museums in the country and boasts one of the country’s most extensive collections of art and artifacts.

In short, it is no wonder that the Windy City has the highest concentration of sports enthusiasts in the nation. Among other reasons, sports generate roughly $600 million in economic activity in Illinois alone each year. So it’s no surprise that the city has been dubbed the sports capital of the state.
