Neighborhood
Lakeview
Ultimate Energy, Nightlife and Young Crowds in Chicago’s Lakeview

Chicago is home to many iconic professional sports teams. The White Sox, The Bears, The Bulls, The Blackhawks and of course the perennially--until recently--cursed but loved Chicago Cubs. If you’re a Cubs fan — and who isn’t? — the neighborhood called Lakeview is the home of Wrigley Field, the major league baseball stadium that seems to pop up in the center of the neighborhood from nowhere. The venerable Major League Baseball stadium was first constructed in 1914 when the Chicago Whales played in what was called the Federal League.
