Chicago News Sports Events Culture

One of the perks of living in Chicago is the chance to be part of a world class sports culture. The city’s athletic prowess has prompted many accolades and a whole lot of awards. Some notable sports teams include the Blackhawks, Bears, Cubs, and White Sox. Sports have played a large role in the city’s renaissance, fostering collaboration and camaraderie amongst its inhabitants. Despite some snags in the past, the city hasn’t forgotten its aces.

For instance, the Chicago Bulls made two Stanley Cups in the late ’90s, a feat never accomplished by the NHL’s archrival, the New York Rangers. This is not to mention the plethora of sporting events hosted by the city during the NFL’s preseason. Not to mention the myriad local league and high school sports.

In terms of naming a winner, the Cubs have taken home the trophy for the city’s most wins since the aforementioned team won the championship in 1912. Other than the fact that they occupy the top spot in the best dynasty ever to grace the Windy City, the Cubs are the most generous and hospitable sports team. They donate tens of millions of dollars to the city’s sports programs.

It’s no wonder that the Cubs spawned a flurry of new franchises that are attempting to make the playoffs this year. With so many teams in town, the sports landscape is a constant buffet of intrigue. From the Chicago XL Soccer League to the Chicago Bulls NCAA Division I basketball team, the sport has something for everyone.
