Governor J.B. Pritzker honorarily renamed Chicago “Sky Town” for the day Oct. 19 in the wake of the Chicago Sky making history in the city and in women’s sports.

The team won its first WNBA championship title Oct. 17 after defeating the Phoenix Mercury 80-74 with a 3-1 series record at home in Wintrust Arena.

Celebrities and politicians were spotted at the victory parade, including mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago-native Chance The Rapper, along with thousands of Sky fans who celebrated the team’s victory in Millenium Park despite the fact the parade was in the middle of a workday.
