And because I'm a nerd I went back and looked at how many games Chicago teams have played in recent years: 2019 - 1 (Bears) 2018 - 1 (Cubs) 2017 - 20 (Cubs, Bulls, Blackhawks) 2016 - 24 (Cubs, Blackhawks) 2015 - 44 (Cubs, Bulls, Blackhawks) 2014 - 24 (Bulls, Blackhawks) 2013 - 35 (Bulls, Blackhawks) 2012 - 12 (Bulls, Blackhawks) 2011 - 25 (Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks) 2010 - 27 (Bulls, Blackhawks) 2009 - 24 (Bulls, Blackhawks) 2008 - 7 (Cubs, White Sox) 2007 - 16 (Cubs, Bears, Bulls) 2006 - 7 (Bears, Bulls) 2005 - 18 (Bulls, White Sox) 2004 - 0
