The United Center is one of the most popular buildings in Chicago and has hosted many sporting events and concerts. You can also see professional wrestling matches, although they are not held as frequently as they once were. A unique feature of the United Center is that all of the seats are inside a bowl that surrounds the playing field. In addition, there are two large video boards that hang over both ends of the field and display different messages depending on what event is being held there.

Grant Park

Located on the east side of Chicago, Grant Park contains a number of outdoor venues where you can watch sporting events. It is one of the most popular places to watch a concert or an outdoor concert in all of Chicago because of its wide lawns and beautiful scenery.

Whirlyball is a sport that combines basketball with dodgeball and it was invented by former professional basketball player Doug Collins. Whirlyball features two teams of six players each who try to score points by throwing balls into goals or baskets while avoiding being hit by balls thrown by the opposing team. The game lasts for three minutes or until time runs out and it can be played indoors or outdoors. Whirlyball was played at Soldier Field before moving to its current location at State Street Beach in Lakeview. It can be played year round but it is most popular during warmer months.

Soldier Field

Soldier Field was built in 1924 and it was originally used by both the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals. It was also used by many other sports teams including soccer, lacrosse, and track and field events. It was also used for concerts and political rallies during its early years, but it has mainly been used for football games since then. It currently hosts many different types of sports including soccer, lacrosse, track and field, rugby, field hockey, football, and baseball games. The stadium was renovated in 1997 and it now seats over 72,000 people when it hosts football games. You can also see concerts here as well as it has hosted several famous musicians.

Chicago loves sports so much that it has several places where you can watch sports games no matter what season it is or what time of day it is.
