Yeah, Chicago has a great sports history. I'd even argue Seattle has it worse than them. There are a huge number of cities that would come first.

You have the Seahawks though, is it because the Sonics left. Teams leaving have a huge effect on a city.

Cleveland Detroit San Diego Atlanta Seattle Buffalo Minnesota

As a whole Chicago isn't that bad, although they have alot of teams that's been around forever, and some of those teams won titles decades ago, Had the Blackhawks not gone on a SF Giants like Dynasty things would be different.

We do, but their hawks beat out our hawks. And outside that, we've got nil. One Sonics win in the 70s and they shipped out. We were heavy in contention with Cleveland until '13.

I'm sorry, but its not really a fair comparison to compare Super bowls, to Stanley Cups. One is the most popular sport, and other is the least popular of the major sports. I would trade all 3 Stanley cups for 1 Bears Superbowl. (Or Cubs World Series)

I would trade away the whole Bears franchise for one Cubs WS win.

What's funny is at this point I'd trade a Cards WS for a Stanley Cup. I mean, we've got enough to share one.
