WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

Paint your face and put on your foam finger!  Through happiness and heartache Chicago fans show they’re the best around.  From superstitions to sing-a-longs to silly and senseless acts, sports aficionados can make or break a season.  Listen in for a discussion about how die-hard, fist-pumping fans can truly influence the game. 

This is the second in a three-part series, Chicago Sports! Da Franchises, Da Fans, and Da Finest.  It might be, it could be, it is… a Chicago sports seminar!  From the gridiron to the diamond to home court and home ice, Chicago has bred incredible teams and loyal fans.  For three weeks, we will welcome sports writers, athletes, and other experts to weigh in on Chicago’s legacy of winners and losers, buzzer beaters and record breakers, bleacher bums and back-office brass.
