There's nothing like friendly wagers when two hometown teams compete for a final championship.
 
And that's exactly what was started by nearby amusement park, Six Flags Great America, which is located in Gurnee, Illinois.
 
With their hometown team, the Chicago Cubs, in the World Series, Six Flags Great America challenged their main competitor, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio to a bet. 
Cedar Park accepted the challenge and after a few back-and-forth wagers, they agreed on a final bet .
  • If the Chicago Cubs win, Cedar Point must:
    • Post a video of staff performing "Go Cubs Go" on their social media channels.
    • Rename one of their rides for their entire opening weekend in 2017, and Six Flags will choose the losing park’s ride and new name.
  • If the Cleveland Indians win, Six Flags Great America must:
    • Post a video of staff performing "Cleveland Rocks" on their social media channels.
    • Rename one of their rides for their entire opening weekend in 2017, and Cedar Point will choose the losing park’s ride and new name.
