ABC7 caught up with Cubs and White Sox fans ahead of Friday’s game at the friendly confines.

“I think the North Side’s got it this year,” Cubs fan Tim Fessler.

The atmosphere was taken to another level Friday ahead of another Crosstown Classic rivalry series.

“Do I want them to be good? Yeah, but as long as we beat the Cubs, we get to take over Chicago,” White Sox fan Hector Razo said.

Enthusiastic supporters of both teams filled the local bars, many sporting apparel in tribute to Pope Leo. White Sox enthusiasts cherished an early win, celebrating the pope’s South Side roots and shared allegiance.

“Honestly, some Cubs fans were just being hopeful,” remarked Callahan. “But he’s a true South Sider at heart, and it’s fantastic. Everyone could use this kind of support, right?”

But fans of both teams are just happy Pope Leo is one of Chicago’s very own.

“That was amazing it was truly a blessing for all the Chicagoans and we’re all blessed to be here on a beautiful day,” White Sox fan Joe Kelly.

The rivalry has lost some competitiveness in recent years.

“There’s something about Wrigleyville the sun the temperatures this is the kickoff to summer,” Cubs fan Tom Van Ness said.

The fans said this is a rivalry where records just don’t matter, and they’re here to enjoy baseball in Chicago.

“It brings out the best of Chicago,” Razo said. “Everybody’s united. Somebody roots for the North Side, somebody roots for the South Side, but at the end of the day, we’re all together we’re all here to have fun.”
