Sports Events Culture in Chicago

Whether you are a Chicago Cubs fan or a diehard Bulls fan you have to admit that the city has plenty of sports to occupy your time and attention. You’ve got your oh so sultry MLB and NFL teams plus minor league baseball to choose from. The sports scene is a thriving community. Luckily for the sports fans there’s also a plethora of restaurants, nightlife, and entertainment options to keep you entertained. One of the best parts of living in the Windy City is the ability to go to an event and watch some of the best players in the game. This is not to say that you have to sacrifice your wallet, though. If you’re in the mood to splurge you can always head out to one of the many bars and restaurants on the Magnificent Mile.

Sports are big business in the Windy City and it’s not just the pro athletes and their entourages that rake in the cash. Major sporting events like the NBA playoffs, the NHL’s Stanley Cup and the NHL’s All-Star Game contribute to the local economy. For the record – this year’s All-Star Game is the largest in the history of professional sports. The aforementioned All-Star Game also draws in some of the best amateur athletes in the world, so it’s not just the pro athletes that get the lion’s share of the action.
