Want to learn about Chicago's grid system? Just think back to graph paper from math class and you get the general idea. Check out our most recent WTTW News Explains animation:
Remember graph paper from middle school math? Then you can imagine the Chicago grid.It has a north-south axis, and an east-west axis. The center point is at State and Madison in the heart of the Loop. That’s 0 north, south, east and west.A mile is roughly eight city blocks. So, say you walk eight blocks north from Madison on State — you’ll be at 800 North State.Head eight blocks east of State on Madison … Well, I hope you can swim.
Therefore, the Cubs and Sox play about the same distance from city center, on opposite sides of town.
