Arlington Park

by traveldave

Originally opened in 1927, Arlington Park was rebuilt after a devastating fire destroyed the grandstands in 1985. Located in northwest suburban Arlington Heights, Arlington Park has hosted many of the great race horses, including Secretariat (1973), Spectacular Bid (1980), and Cigar (1996). I was present at the Arlington Citation Challenge on July 13, 1996 when Cigar raced to his record-tying 16th consecutive victory. Although I am not a bettor or a racing fan, it was an exciting, history-making event and an enjoyable afternoon spent at the races.

The United Center

by traveldave

Home of the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls and the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks, the United Center opened in 1994. It replaced the antiquated Chicago Stadium, which was demolished during construction of the United Center.The United Center has hosted numerous sporting events, circuses, rock concerts, and the 1996 Democratic National Convention.

U.S. Cellular Field

by traveldave

Home of Major League Baseball's Chicago White Sox, U.S. Cellular Field (formerly Comiskey Park) is one of the newest ballparks in the nation. The original Comiskey Park, built in 1910, was demolished to make way for the new Comiskey Park. Although the new ballpark is one of the most modern and high-tech ballparks in the country, many White Sox fans preferred the intimate charm of the old Comiskey Park.

Wrigley Field

by traveldave

Home of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field is one of the oldest ballparks in the nation, and one of the most traditional, from its ivy-covered outfield walls to its manually operated scoreboard. Lights for night games were not even installed until 1988.Attending a baseball game in the "Friendly Confines" of Wrigley Field is like revisiting another era, when baseball truly was "America's pastime."

Soldier Field

by traveldave

Home of the National Football League's Chicago Bears, Soldier Field was built in 1923 to commemorate veterans of the First World War. The stadium has also been the venue for large concerts featuring such acts as the Rolling Stones, U2, and the Grateful Dead. During these concerts, up to 100,000 people can be accommodated.Soldier Field, perhaps best known for its Doric columns on the east and west sides, recently underwent an extensive renovation and was reopened in September 2003. Although the stadium was radically altered, the beloved Doric columns were incorporated into the new design.

Cubbies!!!! Chicago Cubs Baby!

by acommon1

Those Cubbie Fans are so so loyal. You'll never see anything like it. Regardless of the Chicago Cubs record, there will be a ton of fans at the ball park. They love the sport. They love the beer. They love the neighborhood. They love the bars like hanging out at the Cubbie Bar across from Wrigley Field.Easy transportation in from the Burbs or Downtown if you choose to take the Train.Good security provided by Chicago's Finest!!!! Come hungry.

Wrigley Field

by DueSer

The further adventures of trying to visit every Major League Baseball stadium...I have not yet been able to attend a game at Comiskey Park, or whatever the heck they're calling it nowadays but I have seen it from the outside and it looks nice and has a cool bridge from the parking over to the stadium so I look forward to visiting some day soon.As for Wrigley Field, I visited in the Fall of 1999 and it was a real thrill to attend a game in one of the high holy houses of the sport.1)Arrival & DepartureAs much as I hate to do it, I have to give Wrigley, on a scale of 1-5 where 5 is awesome and 1 is sucky, a low score of 2. I thought about giving it a 1 but the only thing that saved it is that although I had to park approximately 6 blocks away, those blocks were in a nice neighborhood full of those pretty little row houses Chicago is known for, making for a pleasant walk to and from my car....

get a map, navigate first and note warning signs. We didnt know that a bouey with a + sign inside a diamond meant: "BOATS KEEP OUT". Needless to say, our prop got chewed pretty bad we had to replace it.

Antioch Golf Club, A Real Value

by deecat

When we lived in Antioch, Illinois, our home was on the golf course, which, at that time, was called Harbor Ridge Golf Course; today, it is called Antioch Golf Club. The course has been revamped and a brand new brick club house and restaurant have been recently completed after demolishing the old frame facility.This golf course was built in 1954 on rolling to hilly terrain, so there are many uneven lies. On six holes, water hazards come into play. Green Fees are: $17.00 weekdays $22.00 weekends plus cart feesIt's a great value for this challenging 18-hole public course. Some of the fairways are quite narrow because there are homes and townhouses bordering it. If I were to pick one word to describe it, I would use Sporty.No cutoffs or tank tops are allowed; neither are metal spikes.Call for Reservations at: Phone: (847)395-3004OPEN YEAR ROUND Remember:No Metal SpikesYou Will Need:Golf...

Three Golf Courses in One Small Town......

by deecat

For a town of only 7,000 people, Robinson has more than its share of golf courses! 1. Deer Run Golf Course 700 North Prairie Street Robinson, IL (618)544-2350Deer Run, a par 3 course with a twist...It is lit for night play! It has narrow, rolling, tree-lined fairways, & there are many beautiful & colorful flowers. It's an easy course with short holes & moderate undulating greens. It cost less than $20.00 & is open to the public. I feel it's a good course for beginners. There is no dress code, and is a Par 27 course. Open from April 1 until November 1.2. Oak Glen Golf CourseStory RoadRobinson, IL (618) 592-3030This is an 18-hole golf course that includes a new back nine with newly-planted trees, four lakes that come into ten out of eighteen holes. Be forewarned: several dog leg fairways. Greens are Bent Grass, & the Fairways are Bluegrass. The cost is less than $20.00 & is open to the...
