The network already runs The Batter's Box, a baseball trivia show, which I guess has done halfway okay. Otherwise, it's hard to see why the network would try another sports quizzer. This new effort "hits the streets of Chicago and takes viewers to the biggest sporting events in town to test Chicago sports fans knowledge on some very challenging Chicago sports trivia questions."
Outside of baseball, my knowledge of sports trivia is very limited, and Chicago sports trivia is really terra incognita for Latinate moi. The pictured Luke Stuckmeyer will host, adding to his current chores on Batter's Box. The contestants could win $130 in gas money if they know enough stuff. At least the prize budget won't break the bank.
Sports networks have tried lots of trivia shows over the years. It's such a narrow niche within a niche that the shows generally don't prosper. But maybe Chicago fans are different.
