IT guy by day, board game rules lawyer by night, and full-time Chicago sports masochist always. This is my rotation when friends from out of town think they know pain and suffering until they've sat through a Bears fourth quarter. Mixed in some deep dish because a stadium trip without pizza afterward is basically a bug in the system. Rank 1 for the Cubs faithful, rank everything else lower, I don't make the rules.

My Chicago sports pilgrimage — 4 items
Name	Venue/Spot	Team or Specialty	Neighborhood	Address	City	Best For	My take
1Wrigley Field	Wrigley Field	Chicago Cubs	Wrigleyville	1060 W Addison St	Chicago, IL	Day games, rooftop views, ivy walls	The Friendly Confines will humble you AND feed you a $14 beer. Worth every penny.
2Rate Field	Rate Field	Chicago White Sox	Armour Square	333 W 35th St	Chicago, IL	Fireworks nights, South Side energy	Say what you want, the Sox dog is elite and the crowd actually boos with purpose.
3United Center	United Center	Bulls and Blackhawks	Near West Side	1901 W Madison St	Chicago, IL	Hockey nights, the Jordan statue selfie	Still gives me chills walking past the Jordan statue even though I was basically a toddler during the threepeats.
4Murphy's Bleachers	Murphy's Bleachers	Rooftop bar across from Wrigley	Wrigleyville	3655 N Sheffield Ave	Chicago, IL	Game-day beers before first pitch	Step outside, you can practically hear the organ playing. Best patio in Wrigleyville, fight me.
