Chicago Named Best Sports City

In this week's issue of the Sporting News, the city of Chicago was named as the best sports city, thanks to the playoff appearances of the Bears and Bulls and the championships of the Rush and White Sox. Miami, Dallas, Detroit and New York City made up the top five.

Chicago wasn't chosen simply because of their winning teams. The editors of the sports magazine also considered attendance and fan support, even when teams were not performing well (e.g., the Cubs). What really put the city over the top was the White Sox World Series championship.

Thank you, White Sox.
