cabiness42 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This question came up on another message board prompted by the Cowboys hosting the Rams and the Rangers hosting the Cardinals this past Sunday. How often do the same two cities compete in two different sports in the same city on the same day (including playoffs but not including exhibition/pre-season)? I checked the Bears/Sox and had to go back to 9/21/1997 with the Bears@Patriots and the Sox@RedSox (taking a fairly liberal definition of same city as far as the Patriots are concerned). There were a couple more recent occasions of the Sox-Tigers and Bears-Lions playing on the same day, but they weren't in the same city. Anybody care to check this out for Sox/Bulls, Sox/Hawks, or maybe even Bears/Cubs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm pretty sure the Bears had a home game the same day as 2005 WS Game 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Right, but the criteria is two teams, playing two teams from the same city and in the same city. The Bears may have had a home game the same day as 2005 WS Game 2, but it wasn't against the Houston Texans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Didn't the Packers play he Rams and the Brewers play the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago in Wisconsin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Hawks had a home game during ALDS game 2 in 2005 Ah, same city, nope cant think of one. Edited October 25, 2011 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but that would really be stretching the definition of same city, even more so than Boston/Foxboro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty confident the hawks, sox, and bulls all played detroit teams on the same day not too long ago. So 2 had to be in the same city. Edited October 25, 2011 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am pretty sure I recall the Sox/Tigers and Hawks/Wings playing eachother on the same day recently, but I don't recall what cities they were in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 2009: April 11th- Hawks @ Detroit April 12th- Detroit @ Hawks April 13th- Sox @ Detroit April 13th-Bulls @ Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 April 6, 2008. Blackhawks lose 4-1 at Joe Louis, White Sox destroy Verlander 13-2 at Comerica. I recall that baseball game being on ESPN Sunday night, Swisher led the game off with a homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 April 17, 2010. White Sox at Indians, Bulls at Cavs in the playoffs. I remember people were leaving the Bulls game and going over to the Sox game after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
