Chicago Sports-Concert-Theatre Venues

In the Chicago area you will find both historically significant and newly constructed venues hosting a variety of events. Soldier Field, built in the 1920’s and renovated in 2003, is home to the Chicago Bears football team and the Chicago Fire soccer team, but also hosts concerts and other special events. The United Center, built in 1994 to replace the historic Chicago Stadium, is home to the Chicago Bulls basketball team and the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team. The United Center also hosts big name concerts, ice shows, circus and other special events. Wrigley Field is the north-siders home baseball park where the Cubs baseball team hits homers out onto Waveland Avenue. U.S. Cellular Field is the Chicago White Sox baseball team’s home stadium on the south side.

Both horse racing and car racing are popular pastimes in Chicago. In Chicago’s northwest suburb of Arlington Heights, the beautiful Arlington Park Race Track features thoroughbred racing in a comfortable and distinctive environment. Harness racing is held at Maywood Park, located in suburban Melrose Park, and Hawthorne Race Course, located in Stickney. The Route 66 Raceway is located in Joliet, Illinois, southwest of Chicago. It is a multimillion-dollar complex including a 1/4 mile 30,000 seat stadium style drag strip and 1/2 mile dirt oval track.
