I was explaining to friends that since there are not a lot of paid professional women's soccer leagues in the world, that a lot of the best players come to the US. So this is probably the easiest way to watch really high quality soccer live! Oh, and tickets are really cheap! So if you are a soccer fan, or a women's sports fan you will enjoy going to Red Stars games!

These girls are extremely skilled! I never thought much of soccer until I witnessed a game tonight…read moreand WOW, I definitely have a major respect for this sport and the players now! A few friends and I sat right in front of the brother of one of the player's (Natalie Spilger) and it was awesome to see them interact! She did great and he was right there behind her! It really pulls you further into the game and brings you right onto the field with these girls. Awesome job girls!.. I hope you progress and push Chicago to LOVE soccer and respect it and what you do out there as much as I do now. Tip: Family members of the players tend to sit within section 126 which runs about $30 a seat (you sit right behind the players bench). Although you can get general admission tickets which are $15. At the end of the game a player or two stands back and signs autographs for fans.. This also takes place right below section 126. This venue is extremely kid friendly!

Of all the Chicago teams, the Bulls are the one I've seen the least. And that says a lot…read moreconsidering I don't root for the Bear or Sox. The other night I brought my son to just his second Bulls game. We were here a few years ago, which is an eternity in terms of the talent on the court. Gone are the days of miserable Pax/Gar teams (thank God) and replaced by awesome stars like Demar Derozan and Zach LaVine. Aside from the new found talent, I have to say that the entertainment factor here was amazing. As in, leaps and bounds better than any other sporting event we go to (and we go see a lot of games in different sports). The pregame intro is classic, the tv and called timeout skits were terrific and hysterical, and the halftime show was a collaboration of gymnasts and performers that put on one hell of a show. Honestly, I felt like I got my money's worth on non-game entertainment alone (despite not catching a parachuting t-shirt from the rafters)..lol. In addition to the game, I highly recommend getting here early to take in everything the building has to offer. The arena is stocked with Bulls and Hawks championship pennants hanging from the banners. One of their concourses is now home to the once outdoor MJ bronze statue, and we also found the case with Bulls 90's championship trophies. Those brought back fond memories. An exciting team that wins adds a lot of value, I'm not going to lie. But the non-game entertainment factor is phenomenal. Even if you aren't an NBA or Bulls fan, I'd still highly recommend stopping in sometime. GO BULLS!

Are you a hockey fan, but can't be bothered with necking it out for a Hawks ticket? Or you find…read moreyourself not in the mood to catch a Wolves game. Welcome to the world of the ECHL where anything is possible. The Sears Centre is home to a new hockey club (Chicago Express) where if you want to hear the slashing sounds on the ice or the roaring whistle of a train as a goal is scored; you are more than welcome. Chicago has been lucky enough to be granted with three levels of professional hockey and this is definitely no exception. An Affiliate of the NHL's Blue Jackets, the Express skate with determination and skill that make it perfect to watch while they are growing as professional players. The venue itself isn't overly large and offers pretty much a decent seat from both sides of the rink. The Sears Centre suits the bill for holding the sounds of the ice and the crowd without making you think there could be a concert the next night. Because the Express club is still so fresh and so clean, seats are readily available for every game. We're talking, if you wanted to be bangin' on the glass come this Saturday (or when the next home game is) you'll probably find out that your luck--is in tact. For this particular outing, I ended up sitting rows behind the benches for which I have to admit...I am skeptical and should have opted for the other side but couldn't for the life of me get the ticket site figured out. Ten rows up from the ice is still a pretty sweet view--even if you're somewhat behind the benches. The crowd has taken the Express to heart already which is very warming, because they are a brand new franchise. Loud cat calls, whistles and screams to skate to the center is something that will be of a common fixture for the night. Tickets are definitely affordable. To sit in the lower 100 level tickets start as low as $17, and sitting behind the glass if that is your fancy is only $25. For anyone in need of getting a hockey fix this is a great option to choose from. Parking itself is standard for the Centre, look to spend about $10 to park easily across the way from the arena entrance.

It's great for those that can't (or won't ) pay the crazy amount for a Hawks ticket and it's close by. The game was a bit like a high school game but it was still entertaining and you can't beat $1 beers and $1 hot dogs on Fridays. Overall it's something fun to do on a Friday night.

If you feel like giving wrestling a try i suggest you go to this place it's awesome and the people is very friendly.

The DuPage Drones are a new Prospect League Baseball (Collegiate Wood Bat) Team, and they can PLAY BALL! Often scoring 5 runs or more, they "earn" the night's ticket holders a free scoop from their sponsor, the Downers Grove Culver's. The staff is great at planning special theme nights and entertaining with flying drone races, contests, characters in costume, fireworks, and a run around the bases. They have an assortment of #Drones gear available for purchase - hats, T-shirts, pullovers. The concession stands offer a wide variety of food choices for reasonable prices. There are all of your typical choices - hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, beer, etc., but the last time I was there I had a Caesar salad and a frozen Strawberry Margarita - both YUMMY! The stands are filled with folding seats with backs, not just bleachers, so they are comfortable, and there are plenty of tables available for dining use. The restrooms are very clean with hot tap water at the sinks.

However, there is one rule that makes absolutely no sense: no professional photography allowed. Really? For parents trying to support their kids--especially those hoping to build highlight reels for college opportunities--this policy is extremely limiting. Not everyone can capture quality footage on a phone, and documentation is a crucial part of youth sports today. It's hard to understand why a top-tier facility would enforce a rule like this. It may actually hurt the very athletes the center is meant to support. Even more frustrating is how difficult it is to get in touch with management to ask questions or explore possible exceptions. Overall, a great facility undermined by a confusing and restrictive policy. Hopefully, this is something they reconsider.
