anyone been ? is so what are their thoughts ? was thinking of going in october.
 
big potential difference in weather, early october vs. late. could still be summer-like on oct. 1, and could snow on oct. 31.

95% of the tourist activities are in the downtown area and near north side of the city. probably an area about 5 miles north to south and a mile or two in from the lakefront.

in addition to the previous links, you'd likely want to check out chicago's own version of Time Out: http://www.timeout.com/chicago/

also, chicagoreader.com

the local mls team will have two home matches during october:

the stadium is far outside the tourist area, and not easy to get to via train, either. probably not worth the effort.

the other "football" team will be home only once during october; they play downtown. http://www.chicagobears.com/
 
Chicago is an incredible city. Its basically a cheaper more manageable New York. An afternoon game at Wrigley is probably the best American sports experience there is. Since most of there games are during the week and in the afternoon you will wonder, "don't these people have jobs??".

The Chicago Cubs are worth seeing for their stadium and their City like success. The only problem is they'll have to make it to the World Series for there to be a game. Hmmmm....not likely. They play at Wrigley Field btw.

'cept that Cubs fans are wankers...
