October 25, 201114 yr This question came up on another message board prompted by the Cowboys hosting the Rams and the Rangers hosting the Cardinals this past Sunday. How often do the same two cities compete in two different sports in the same city on the same day (including playoffs but not including exhibition/pre-season)? I checked the Bears/Sox and had to go back to 9/21/1997 with the Bears@Patriots and the Sox@RedSox (taking a fairly liberal definition of same city as far as the Patriots are concerned). There were a couple more recent occasions of the Sox-Tigers and Bears-Lions playing on the same day, but they weren't in the same city. Anybody care to check this out for Sox/Bulls, Sox/Hawks, or maybe even Bears/Cubs??
October 25, 201114 yr Author Right, but the criteria is two teams, playing two teams from the same city and in the same city. The Bears may have had a home game the same day as 2005 WS Game 2, but it wasn't against the Houston Texans.

October 25, 201114 yr Didn't the Packers play he Rams and the Brewers play the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago in Wisconsin?
October 25, 201114 yr Hawks had a home game during ALDS game 2 in 2005 Ah, same city, nope cant think of one. Edited October 25, 201114 yr by RockRaines
October 25, 201114 yr Author Didn't the Packers play he Rams and the Brewers play the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago in Wisconsin? I'm not sure, but that would really be stretching the definition of same city, even more so than Boston/Foxboro.
October 25, 201114 yr I'm pretty confident the hawks, sox, and bulls all played detroit teams on the same day not too long ago. So 2 had to be in the same city. Edited October 25, 201114 yr by Buehrle>Wood

October 25, 201114 yr I am pretty sure I recall the Sox/Tigers and Hawks/Wings playing eachother on the same day recently, but I don't recall what cities they were in.
October 25, 201114 yr 2009: April 11th- Hawks @ Detroit April 12th- Detroit @ Hawks April 13th- Sox @ Detroit April 13th-Bulls @ Detroit
October 25, 201114 yr April 6, 2008. Blackhawks lose 4-1 at Joe Louis, White Sox destroy Verlander 13-2 at Comerica. I recall that baseball game being on ESPN Sunday night, Swisher led the game off with a homer.
October 26, 201114 yr April 17, 2010. White Sox at Indians, Bulls at Cavs in the playoffs. I remember people were leaving the Bulls game and going over to the Sox game after.
October 26, 201114 yr Author I'm pretty confident the hawks, sox, and bulls all played detroit teams on the same day not too long ago. So 2 had to be in the same city. There are very few opportunities for the Hawks and Bulls to play in the same city on the same day, though Detroit would be one of them.
