During last year’s NBA season, I took a trip to Chicago to see the Bulls play a game at their home arena. They were playing the Pistons, and I was extremely excited to be inside of the Bulls arena again. I have been a fan of the Bulls since all the way back when Michael Jordan was playing for them, but unlike many other so-called fans, I have remained loyal to them even after he left the team. Although I live in Texas, for the past four or five years, I have taken a trip to Chicago during the NBA season to see them play a game on their home court. Even though I go to their games when they play the Mavericks in Dallas (and sometimes when they play the Rockets in Houston), there is something special about seeing them play on their home court in Chicago.

In addition to getting a hotel during my trips to Chicago, I also get a rental car. I didn’t get a rental car during my first trip to Chicago, but learned quite quickly that getting around in just taxis gets quite expensive!
