Okay so I am not even a huge sports person, not gonna lie, I mostly go for the vibes and the people-watching and whatever snack situation is happening in the concourse, but living in Pilsen means you're basically a short Pink Line hop from like four different stadiums and anyway, somewhere along the way I became That Friend who always has an extra ticket. These are the spots I keep dragging people to, between gallery openings and chasing bands around the city. Dress warm, the lake wind does not care about your plans.

My Chicago sports haunts — 7 items
Name	Venue	Address	City	My take
1Wrigley Field	Wrigley Field (Cubs)	1060 W Addison St	Chicago	Rooftop views, ivy walls, the whole postcard thing. I always end up staying way later than planned, Wrigleyville will do that to you.
2Rate Field	Rate Field (White Sox)	333 W 35th St	Chicago	Red Line drops you right at the gate which, honestly, is the real MVP. Cheaper beer than the other side of town too, just saying.
3Soldier Field	Soldier Field (Bears, Fire FC)	1410 Museum Campus Dr	Chicago	Watching the Fire with the lake right there behind the goal is kind of unbeatable, anyway, bring layers, the wind off Michigan is no joke.
4United Center	United Center (Bulls, Blackhawks)	1901 W Madison St	Chicago	I'll admit I go more for whatever concert is passing through, but a Bulls game under those lights still gets me every time.
5Lincoln Park running path	Lakefront Trail, Lincoln Park	Lincoln Park, 2045 N Lincoln Park West	Chicago	Not a game but hear me out, watching the Chicago Marathon runners come through here every October genuinely gives me chills every single time.
6McCormick Tribune Ice Rink	McCormick Tribune Ice Rink	55 N Michigan Ave	Chicago	As a PT I probably shouldn't recommend an activity that ends in so many ankle sprains but, anyway, it's free and the skyline view is unreal.
731st Street Beach volleyball courts	31st Street Beach	3100 S Lake Shore Dr	Chicago	Summer evenings there's always a pickup volleyball game going, it's low key, friendly, and the sunset over the skyline doesn't hurt either.
