Chicago is a magnetic, trend-setting city known for its influential architecture, an extensive 8,000-acre park district, and deep-dish pizza. Watch a heartfelt musical like Dear Evan Hansen at the Oriental Theatre or join Chicagoans as they buy tickets to see the Chicago Bears kickoff against their fierce rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Whether you’re a theater buff or a sports fan, Chicago has plenty of ticket options for all tastes.
For more than 100 years, Chicago’s menagerie of successful professional sports teams has inspired passionate fandoms. Take in a baseball game at the historic Wrigley Field, where the Chicago Cubs play against their storied rivals, the White Sox—both of which have recently broken their decades-long World Series-win droughts. If you want to cheer for a universal Chicago favorite, put on your blue and orange and watch the Bears play football at Soldier Field Stadium. Or head to United Center to see the Chicago Bulls, the team Michael Jordan led to its 2 three-peat championship wins of the 90s. These NBA champions share space with the NHL’s Blackhawks and their slew of Stanley Cups, including the 2014-2015 trophy.
Basketball is in Chicago’s DNA, and the city boasts 7 NCAA Division I college basketball teams that rouse local passions and rivalries, including the men’s and women’s DePaul Blue Demons and the Chicago State Cougars teams. Chicagoans also clamor to see the Northwestern Wildcats and the nearby Valparaiso Crusaders play hoops. If you’re in the mood for fancy footwork, Toyota Park hosts the men’s and women’s professional soccer teams, the Chicago Fire and Chicago Red Stars. For a different flavor of adrenaline, join throngs of Chicagoans at the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse each July as they watch the start of Race to Mackinac, a 333-mile (536-km) yacht race.
With a rich musical history that includes notes of jazz, blues, and hip-hop as well as hometown musicians like Kurt Elling and Kanye West, Chicago has a happening music scene. When the Bulls and Blackhawks leave United Center, artists like Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, and Florence and the Machine take the stage. Head across town to the red marquee and ivy-covered walls of Wrigley Field to see artists like Billy Joel and Pearl Jam perform. Or enjoy Chicago’s lively comedy scene at venues like Thalia Hall and Ravinia Pavilion. Amanda Seales’s smart, energetic comedy entertains audiences while Steve Martin’s and Martin Short’s friendly banter and banjo music enliven the room. After your show, try some authentic Chicago food at one of its many top-of-the-line restaurants. (Seriously: deep-dish pizza.)
A hotbed for theater, Chicago boasts rousing Broadway hits like The Book of Mormon, Mamma Mia!, and Miss Saigon in elegant theaters like Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace and Cadillac Palace. Don’t delay getting your Hamilton tickets at the CIBC Theatre, which once hosted acts like Harry Houdini. Chicago also offers plenty of tickets to family-friendly shows such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Disney On Ice: Frozen, and Peter Pan. With so many things to do in Chicago, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for.
