Hey guys! For this weeks blog I’m going to talks about my favorite Chicago sports team’s stadium/arenas/whatever they are called! I have been to the United Center, Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, and uhhhh whatever the White Sox stadium is called now (Guaranteed Rate Field) lol I think that’s almost every big professional team! I haven’t been to the arena where the Chicago Sky WNBA team plays!
So, to start out my favorite stadium/field/arena would be where the Blackhawks and Bulls play, the United Center. This is mostly because it is the stadium I have been to the most and have the most memories with. I have been to tons of Hawks game and their preseason fan fest, and even the NHL draft a couple years ago. Hockey was the sport I fell in love with and made me realize that I wanted to work in sports! It will always be my first love lol I love the atmosphere in the UC during Hawks game, it is so electrifying! I have not seen a Bulls game there yet, I plan to in the future!
My next favorite is Soldier Field! I have always been a Bears fan growing up, but I have only recently become engulfed with the sport as a whole. Football is my newest favorite sport, I have watched more football than hockey the past couple of years. I have been to two Bears games, one in 2015 and the other in 2018. The game in 2018 was the NFC North Title game against the Packers, where the Bears actually won! That was the best sports game I have ever been to! The atmosphere was something else, it was incredible to experience that game with so many Bears fans. It is a game I’ll never forget! Also, Soldier Field gets bonus points for hosting the Blackhawks celebration rally in 2015 that I went to and that was magical lol
Wrigley Field is up next, I have only been to Wrigley one time for a Cubs game, but it was really fun! However, they didn’t score a single run butttt I had fun anyway lol It was one of the first places I legally bought alcohol, so that’s always good lol I also got to get a little plastic baseball hat full of ice cream which who doesn’t love that! It was such a pretty day with great weather last June! Also, my mom always told me this story about how my grandpa, who was a big time editor for the Chicago Tribune got to park in the firehouse behind Wrigley because they really liked him? So, they didn’t have to deal with parking, because Wrigley is in the middle of a city lol Interesting story and it would never happen today lol
Lastly, is the White Sox stadium, Guaranteed Rate Field. Now, I have never actually been to a game here, but I got to tour the entire building and field during a class I took last May, and it was really cool! I am not a Sox fan, even though my cat is named after them lol but it was still a really cool park, semi-sketchy area butttt yeah idk what else to say about it!
If you have been to any of the Chicago sports stadiums, what is your favorite?

I loved hearing your take on each stadium. Unfortunately, I have never been to a professional sports game in one of these famous stadiums so reading your blog makes me want to go even more. As a Chicagoan, it’s my goal and dream to do so..or at least go to one. In all honesty, I’m not a big sports fan but I just think it would be a cool experience and the comradery that comes with being there cheering on your team seems like fun! I heard it’s pricy to go to a professional game but it’s worth it. I especially want to try to go to Soldier Field because I do miss going to football games with my friends especially since Bradley didn’t have a football team, and I want to go to Wrigley because everyone I know whos been down there says its a great time. Lol, now that I’m thinking about it maybe I want to go more for the experience than the sport itself…oops
