Today is a great doubleheader day. First, the Chicago Cubs are home at Wrigley Field in a 12:05 pm start.
Next, you have options. Obviously, your best bet is to attend the Chicago Blackhawks Round 2 playoff game at the United Center at 7:00 pm.
If ticket prices are too high for the Blackhawks game (or you just don’t like hockey), then consider attending the Chicago Fire game at Toyota Park (7:30 pm) or watch the Windy City Rollers at the UIC Pavilion (6:00 pm).

However, if the Cubs game runs long, I will not be able to complete the 90 minute drive from Wrigley Field to the Bradley Center in time. Plus, Chicago traffic could be a nightmare keeping me from driving to …

The Chicago Blackhawks are hosting the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center in Chicago’s best game today. The puck drops at 11:30 am meaning you will need to get an early start. In fact, I believe this is the earliest start time ever for any professional sporting event in Chicago.
