Okay my spreadsheet brain NEEDS a sports tab too — between gallery install days and First Fridays I still make time to catch a game, and honestly half of why I go is the pre-game food crawl. These are the Chicago sports spots I'll drop everything for, ranked by vibes not standings lol. Pilsen pride means I'm biased toward anything south/west side but I go wherever the tickets are cheap.

Name	Venue	Neighborhood	Address	City	My take
1Wrigley Field	Wrigley Field	Wrigleyville	1060 W Addison St	Chicago	Yes it's a trek from Pilsen but the ivy walls hit different in person — go early, walk Clark St first
2United Center	United Center	Near West Side	1901 W Madison St	Chicago	Bulls or Blackhawks it doesn't matter — the Jordan statue selfie is non-negotiable on your way in
3Rate Field	Rate Field	Armour Square	333 W 35th St	Chicago	Closer to home turf energy-wise — cheap tickets, real South Side crowd, I respect it
4Chicago Marathon finish line	Grant Park finish line	Loop	337 E Randolph St	Chicago	I don't run it but cheering strangers at mile 26 every October is genuinely emotional, bring tissues
5Credit Union 1 Arena	Credit Union 1 Arena	Near West Side	525 S Racine Ave	Chicago	UIC games are underrated and cheap, plus it's basically a straight shot from Pilsen
