Chicago Sports
 Though the Chicago
teams have had their highs and their lows over the years, the local fans are
always behind them 100%. Its often said that Chicago fans are as loyal as
they come and will faithfully support their teams no matter what the team
stats may be.
The Chicago Bears football team plays at the newly renovated Soldier
Field. Die-hard fans bundle up in the severest of weather conditions to
watch their team play. The Chicago Blackhawks hockey team plays at the
United Center, the largest arena in the United States. The Chicago Bulls
basketball team also plays at the United Center. The Bulls might not be
winning world championships today, but they still have the best mascot in
the league Benny the Bull and the Luvabulls dancers. Chicago is
fortunate to have two baseball teams, the north side Chicago Cubs and the
south side Chicago White Sox. Locals usually strongly favor one team over
the other talking baseball in some circles is akin to talking politics
or religion; the fans take their positions quite seriously! The Cubs play
at the historical Wrigley Field and the White Sox play at the modern U.S.
Cellular Field. The Chicago Fire soccer team plays at Soldier Field to a
diverse crowd of soccer enthusiasts.
Area minor league teams include the Wolves hockey team, the Kane County
Cougars baseball team and the Schaumburg Flyers baseball team. These teams
provide more cost-effective sporting entertainment, especially important
for families.
Although not
all-inclusive, listed below are some of the more popular sports choices.
