Chicago PC is a NPL-induced merger of two of the three pigball teams in the city; the West End Wildcats, who contributed the colors and home ground, and the South Side Gaels, who contributed the nickname(The third team, the Wrigleyville Grizzlies, chose to fold). Both South Side and West End had lengthy spells in the top division and contributed to a rule change in 1974. Due to the PL's television contracts with CBS and NBC(and later ABC and Fox), Chicago, along with Los Angeles and New York, were guaranteed a place in the 1st division(later the Premiership) due to the market's sheer size.
