Chicago Sports Events Culture

Chicago is often considered the “Sports Capital of the World” due to its unique cosmopolitan appeal and diverse sports culture. The city has been named the world’s best sports city three times by the Sporting News and consistently makes the TSE international ranking of sport cities. Its sports teams have won the Stanley Cup twice in the last five years. There is a rich history of sports in Chicago, from the NBA’s Bulls to the NHL’s Blackhawks.

Regardless of what team you support, Chicagoans are passionate about their sports. One Chicago sports fan, Patrick Moore, recently attended a game of FC Barcelona. He participated in the pre-game show and exchanged his jerseys with other fans. His trip was an opportunity to experience his favorite team live and in person.
