Chicago
Updated .
the local sports scene
Chicago is a baseball city divided by geography rather than history: the Cubs on the North Side, the White Sox on the South, and almost nobody claiming both. Everything else the city agrees on.
The local sports scene
The scene
Wrigley Field is the second-oldest park in the majors, ivy on the outfield wall and a neighbourhood built around it. The Bears are the oldest continuous franchise in the NFL and the city's emotional centre in autumn regardless of record. The Bulls are still measured against the six titles of the nineties, and the Blackhawks against their three in the 2010s.
Rivalries that matter
Bears–Packers is the oldest rivalry in the NFL, played more than 200 times. Cubs–Cardinals is the National League's longest-running argument. The Crosstown Classic between the Cubs and White Sox matters more to the South Side than the North.
Where to watch
Wrigleyville is the obvious destination and gets what it deserves on a summer afternoon. Bridgeport near the ballpark on the South Side is the better room for a White Sox game, and the corner taverns on the Northwest Side are where the Bears crowd actually goes.
