April is here, which means spring has finally sprung. As the wacky Midwest weather switches between 70 and 30 degrees, there are a ton of activities both outside and inside for you to enjoy.
⚾ Spring Sports Season
It’s baseball season in Chicago. The Cubs have 79 home games and the White Sox have 81. Get ready for tailgates and stadium nachos 😋
You can also catch the Chicago Fire FC and the Chicago Stars FC. Their seasons kicked off (Ha! See what I did there?) late February.
And don’t forget about Chicago’s rugby teams, the Chicago Hounds and the Chicago Tempest.
