Windy City Rollers
The rough and tumble sport of women’s roller derby, popular in the ‘70s, is back and more serious than ever. The sport, which at its height was as authentic as WWE wrestling, is now seeing resurgence as an athletic pursuit—so no clotheslining skaters, ladies!  Chicago’s own Windy City Rollers face off against Naptown on Saturday night. Tickets are $20-$35.
