Sports Events and Exhibitions in Chicago

Whether you’re a sports fanatic or not, you’re sure to be impressed by the sheer number of sporting events and exhibitions taking place in Chicago. The city has been listed as one of the nation’s top 10 sports cities by TSE (ThirdSearchEngine) in recent years.

The city is home to a number of high profile professional and amateur sports teams, and its athletic department has launched an anti-bullying program. For instance, players from the storied Boston Bruins hockey team visited a local children’s hospital on Halloween to cheer up a young patient.

Chicago has a storied NHL franchise, as well as several minor league baseball teams. The Cubs are particularly noteworthy, generating more than $500 million in revenue for Illinois each year. In the off season, the Blackhawks have the distinction of winning the Stanley Cup, something they hadn’t accomplished in many years.

The city also hosts the largest sporting event in the world, the Maccabi Games, which is a no brainer. This is a well deserved accolade for a city that prides itself on its multicultural population. A cosmopolitan enclave that is home to both Jews and Irish, Chicago is a perfect blend of the old and the new.

The city is a sports lover’s mecca, with teams in every major sport. In fact, the city has one of the largest concentrations of sports enthusiasts in the United States. This is especially true of the more than 3 million Bears fans, who show up in droves for games regardless of performance.
