Wrigley Field: Home of the Chicago Cubs
The first major league pitch was thrown at Wrigley Field in 1914, making the home of the Chicago Cubs the second oldest major league ballpark in the United States, just a couple of years behind Boston's Fenway Park. Despite the Cubs being dubbed the "lovable losers", games at Wrigley Field continuously sell out year after year. Why? The ambiance and history of the ballpark -- it's something that really must be experienced.

Soldier Field, Home of the Chicago Bears
Soldier Field (not Soldier's Field, a mistake a lot of natives even make) officially opened October 9, 1924, and is currently home to the Chicago Bears football team. Soldier Field underwent a major renovation completed in 2003 -- a controversial move that caused the National Register of Historic Places to strip the stadium of its landmark designation in 2006.

The United Center
"The house that Michael Jordan built" is the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks, as well as host to over 200 events a year.
