The Chicago Sports Events Culture

Whether you are a fan of the Bears, the Blackhawks, the Chicago Bulls or the Cubs, you are likely to be familiar with the sports scene that surrounds you. In fact, Chicago has the highest concentration of sports enthusiasts in the nation.

One of the coolest things about sports is how it brings people together and creates a shared sense of pride. Aside from the many professional teams that call Chicago home, there are also a number of amateur sporting entities that have made it onto the national stage.

It is not surprising that the sports scene has garnered many accolades and awards over the years. For instance, the NHL’s Blackhawks are a storied franchise that has been around for quite some time. In fact, they are the most successful team in their division over the past couple of years. In addition to their prowess on the ice, the Blackhawks also provide funding for their numerous athletic programs.

The big picture is that sports have a positive effect on local economies. According to Forbes, sports generated a whopping 456,000 jobs in 2013. This was not an easy feat, since many of the larger events are subject to cancellation. In short, it is no wonder that a number of the world’s top sporting contests are held in this cosmopolitan city.

The most impressive feat is the fact that in recent years, Chicago has become one of the top sport cities in the country. The aforementioned TSE has named Chicago the best sports town in the country three times in a row.
