Any die hard sports fan will love coming to Chicago! No matter what time of year you can always catch a game, be it baseball, basketball or football, Chicago is home to many professional sports teams! Here are TravelSkoot's picks for great sporting events!
Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second oldest ballpark in the majors. This home of the Chicago Cubs has hosted many historic moments in baseball and countless fond memories for devoted fans. So come, grab a hot dog and cold beer and cheer for the home team. Public transportation is strongly encouraged for getting to and from the games. The CTA Red Line services as a direct line to the stadium and the Cubs operate a shuttle and parking service during weekend and night games.

Few cities can claim a baseball team with such a storied past, and being a White Sox fan is an honor handed down from generation to generation. And though you can't go see the Sox at the old Comiskey Park anymore - the ghosts of Baseball Past remain - and continue to delightfully haunt the new Comiskey now called U.S. Cellular Field. Baseball is only part of the show - the rabid Chicago devoted fans are often just as entertaining. Take yourself out to the ballgame, and buy some peanuts, cracker jacks and much more at the unique concession stands! Then sit back and enjoy nine innings in the heart of Chicago.

It's not exactly Nascar, but this may be as close as you're gonna get if you want to actually be behind the wheel of a genuine racing vehicle. Sure it's only a Bowman Race Kart - but with just an inch between you and the track - speeds of up to 70 miles an hour can feel just as exhilarating as an Indy Car. You'll need to arrive about an hour early for some mandatory briefing and registration - but once you're fitted up - it's race time. Choose from one of three racetracks from 700 to 1400 feet long - and start your engines and leave your competition in the dust!

A statue of The Legend greets you as you walk in the United Center and though Jordan hasn't played in years, Bulls games are still the hot ticket in town! From the laser-show introductions to the final two minutes - Bulls Basketball is all about non-stop excitement. The Bulls cheer squad, the aptly named "Luvabulls," will keep you entertained pre-game and during time-outs. The kids will be delighted by mascot Benny the Bull - who skateboards, dances, and occasionally harasses the refs - you know, if they're calling fouls against the Bulls!

Any Chicagoan will tell you that it ain't football unless it's cold. Though it's been rebuilt and remodeled several times, Soldier Field has been proudly displaying its colonnaded entrance at this chilly location on Lakeshore drive since 1924. Arrive early, and hang in the southeast lawn for tailgating. Drop a Brat on the grill and fire it up till it's hot enough to burn your tongue. Then paint your face Orange and Black - and scream from the stands, cause this is the Bears year, folks, even though their only Super Bowl championship was in 1985.
