Recreation
Chicago
is known for hosting a plethora of activities year-round that range
from the fine arts to various recreational activities and sporting
events of every kind. Popular Chicago
festivals also keep residents entertained throughout the year,
including tailgate festivals before Chicago Bears games, neighborhood
summer festivals, the nationally renowned Taste of Chicago and the yearly Chicago Jazz

Chicago
Sports
In 2006, The
Sporting News named Chicago the
“best sports city in the United States”. With
15 professional sports teams that range from mainstream baseball,
football, and basketball to soccer, lacrosse, and women’s professional
sports, they had every reason to give Chicago this title.
Some of the more popular
Chicago
teams include the Chicago Bears, The Cubs, The White Sox, and The
Bulls. The Chicago Bears have won 8 NFL championship games and one
Super Bowl game. America’s favorite underdog team, the Cubs still draw crowds despite not having won a World
Series for over a hundred years. In 2006, the White Sox won the World Series
establishing them as an adored Chicago team,
especially among residents of Chicago’s South Side. One
of the most successful basketball teams in the world, the NBA Chicago
Bulls became untouchable in the late 80’s and early 90’s when star
player Michael Jordan dominated the court.
