On July 10th, 1999, ESPN Zone Chicago held its Grand Opening. Since that day 10 years ago our guests have witnessed countless unforgettable moments in Chicago sports history. Now, in celebration of our 10th anniversary, ESPN Zone Chicago asks YOU to name the…

Top 10 Most Memorable Chicago Sports Moments of the last 10 Years.

We’ve narrowed the list to 15 nominees. Please click the link above and rank 1-10 (1=most memorable) for the events you think are the most memorable. We’ll announce the final results on our anniversary.

Is your child the next Hawk Harrelson or Steve Stone? If you know a White Sox fan between the ages of 8-13 who has dreams of working in the big leagues, sign them up for ESPN Zone's Junior Broadcaster competition on July 15 at 6 p.m.

Enter:

There are two ways to enter. The child’s parent/legal guardian may: 1) Stop by the retail store inside ESPN Zone and fill out a sign-up form or; 2) Call (312) 644-3776 x335 and leave their name, contestant’s first name and age, and telephone number on the voice mailbox. All contestants will receive a telephone confirmation response. Space is limited so enter today!

Compete:

In round one, each contestant will sit behind a microphone on-set at ESPN Zone and choose one White Sox highlight to recite the play-by-play for. Contestants may either recite the original broadcaster’s play-by-play (a transcript of which will be provided in writing) or recite their own original play-by-play. In round two, judges will select five finalists, who will each recite a second play-by-play (different from their first-round choice). Judges will provide feedback and give their votes, which count for half of the final results. The other half will come from fans in attendance. Come out and support your favorite Junior Broadcaster!

Win:

One lucky winner will win the chance to announce the White Sox line-up during an inning at an upcoming White Sox game! Winner will also receive four tickets and a parking pass to the game.
