Started this as my own cheat sheet after one too many arguments at Wednesday trivia about where to actually watch a game in this town. These are real spots I've paid real money at, not some tourist brochure. If you got beef with the rankings, buy me a beer at the bar and we'll settle it.

1Guaranteed Rate FieldSeason ticket holder since '04, don't @ me. Comiskey Dog alone is worth the trip. Team's been rough lately but I'm not a fair weather guy.Guaranteed Rate Field333 W 35th StChicago
2Wrigley FieldYeah I said it, it's a GREAT ballpark. I still root against whoever's wearing that jersey though. Ivy's nice. Beer's $14. Make your peace with it.Wrigley Field1060 W Addison StChicago
3United CenterBulls banners up there make grown men cry. Hawks games hit different in the playoffs. Parking will rob you blind though.United Center1901 W Madison StChicago
4Soldier FieldLooks like a spaceship landed on a Greek temple and somehow I love it. Windy as hell in December, dress like you mean it.Soldier Field1410 Special Olympics DrChicago
5Johnny's IceHouse EastUsed to be the Hawks practice spot back in the day. Good beer garden view of the ice too if your kid's learning to skate and you need a distraction.Johnny's IceHouse East1350 W Madison StChicago
6SeatGeek StadiumBit of a haul out to Bridgeview but the sightlines for a Fire match are actually solid. Bring layers, the wind off that field is no joke.SeatGeek Stadium7000 S Harlem AveBridgeview
7Portage Park FieldhouseMy actual neighborhood. Grew up shooting hoops here. Nothing fancy, everything honest. This is where sports actually started for guys like me.Portage Park Fieldhouse4100 N Long AveChicago
8ChiSox Bar & GrillRight by Gate 5, perfect for pregaming or crying into a beer after a loss. Either way they'll serve you.ChiSox Bar & Grill320 W 35th StChicago
9Harry Caray's TavernYeah it's by the OTHER ballpark but a good baseball bar is a good baseball bar. I go for the memorabilia, stay for the fries.Harry Caray's Tavern3551 N Sheffield AveChicago
10Wintrust ArenaCatch a Sky game here if you want to see actual hustle on the court without mortgaging your house for a ticket. Underrated night out.Wintrust Arena200 E Cermak RdChicago
