July 12, 200817 yr Check out the "ugly" on Chicago. Yahoo The good: Chicago is uniquely divided by its two baseball teams -- crosstown fervor here is matched only in New York -- and uniquely united by its Bears. Wrigley Field remains one of the world's great sporting destinations, U.S. Cellular Field is a modern baseball standard, Soldier Field is recently renovated and the United Center housed some guy named Michael Jordan. Throw in a local recreational sporting tradition -- 16-inch softball leagues are terrifyingly competitive here -- and Chicago's a near-perfect place to live if you love sports. The bad: Besides the Bulls, "winning" isn't exactly a habit in Chicago. The ugly: Jay Mariotti; the weather.
