Where Do the Reds Sleep When They Come to Chicago? A Burning Question
So, you're wondering where the Cincinnati Reds crash when they come to town to battle it out with the Cubs or the Sox, huh? Well, let's dive into this mystery deeper than a Wrigley Field double play.
The Westin: The Red Carpet for the Reds
Now, I wouldn't say it's a secret, but let's just say it's not exactly plastered on billboards around the city. When the Reds come to visit the Windy City, their home away from home is typically The Westin Michigan Avenue. Think of it as the Ritz Carlton for baseball players – but with less pretentiousness (we hope). It's got all the amenities a ballplayer could dream of: comfy beds for those sore muscles, room service that can handle any late-night craving, and, most importantly, a strategic location that's not too far from the ballpark.
More Than Just a Hotel
But let's be real, it's not all about sleeping for these guys. The Westin is just their base camp. During the day, they're busy practicing, strategizing, and probably trying to figure out how to hit a curveball that drops like a rock. At night, though, they're just regular folks (well, sort of) looking to unwind. Some might hit the town, others might order room service and watch Netflix. And who knows, maybe a few of them even sneak out for a deep-dish pizza.
Why the Westin? Who Knows!
Now, you might be wondering, why the Westin? Is it because of the view? The service? Or maybe it's just where all the other teams stay, and they don't want to be the odd ones out. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the Reds have a secret love affair with the hotel's chocolate chip cookies. We'll never know.
How to Find Out For Yourself
So, there you have it. The next time the Reds are in town, you know where to look for them. But remember, stalking athletes is generally frowned upon. Instead, why not try to snag a ticket to the game and cheer them (or boo them) on from the stands?
