]]>Basketball was invented in 1891 by a Canadian physical education teacher named James Naismith. Fifty years later, professional basketball was already underway. Boston and Los Angeles have by far the richest tradition with basketball, given that their respective home teams, the Celtics and Lakers, are tied for most championships with 17.
Football is arguably the most popular sport in the United States, which is why the Super Bowl is one of the biggest and most expensive events of the year. Interestingly enough, one of the most popular football cities is the small town of Green Bay, home to the legendary Packers. Although New England doesn’t have such a deep history, Tom Brady’s success with the Patriots made them a football staple for years to come.
Baseball was founded in 1869, and to this day it’s considered an American pastime. As far as American history, baseball is about as classic as it gets, with traditions that include peanuts, cracker jacks, and the seventh-inning stretch. New York is by far the biggest baseball city in the world, given that it’s home to the Yankees, a team with 27 World Series victories.

While in Chicago, visit the Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field, the oldest football stadium in the U.S. The tour includes a look at the locker rooms, the South Courtyard, the Doughboy Statue, skyline suites, access to the field, and the grant concourse.

The stadium opened in 2009 and one of the best things to see is the “Great Hall” located between the outside and inside walls that runs between gates 4 and 6. You’ll see banners of Yankee stars and LED screens. At Gate 6 you can check out Yankee memorabilia and highlights of Yankee moments.
Home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, and opened in 2009, the stadium’s best feature is the HD television screen which was the largest in the world when the stadium opened. The Party Press section allows standing room for 25,000 people and there are 80,0000 seats in the stadium. There are also 3,000 LCD TV screens, so you’ll never miss any of the action.
