Chicago area residents "celebrated their newest champions and an historic moment" for the Sky by "lining the streets for a parade before crowds gathered at Millennium Park for a rally" featuring players, Chance the Rapper, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and more. Crowds "could be heard chanting 'Let's go Sky,' a drumline escorted the team into Millennium Park and players waved and shouted with excitement" (NBCCHICAGO.com, 10/19). The Sky "brought a special guest to the party" -- the locker room door Mercury G Diana Taurasi "allegedly broke at Wintrust Arena" after WNBA Finals Game 4 (USA TODAY, 10/19).
Chicago, you showed up and showed out for your 2021 @WNBA Champs.
