There is no tie in Chicago. The Bears are the top sports team in Chicago without a doubt. Like many others nationally, people forget that the White Sox exist here. Meanwhile, the Bears receive 100% support whether you're a Cubs fan or Sox fan. Bears talk exists on the 2 sports radio stations here 365 days per year regardless of whether they are good or bad.
What's interesting is that the Cubs have more of a national following (partly due to WGN Superstation, partly due to mystique about Wrigley Field, and partly due to feeling sorry for a franchise that hasn't won a World Series in over a century), so that makes people outside of Chicago think that the Cubs are the top team in town. That's definitely not true.
