Backyard Bulls Organization in Dark Chicago

Tier II - S
A scrappy, corner-bound crew of South Side punks with big ambitions and low impulse control. The Bulls are more bark than bite—for now—but with new leadership, Bennie going into debt for favors from his uncle and an open street war brewing, they’re throwing fists, schemes, and promises in every direction. One good win could make them a real threat—or get them all buried.

“Horns up. Eyes open. No backing down.”

Turf

Abandoned Warehouse (HQ) – A busted-up freight store near 46th and Halsted. Leaky roof, rusted stairwells, and a heavy chain on the door. The Bulls crash here, plan here, and sometimes burn things in the back just for fun.

Rocket Soda Shop

Building / Landmark | May 19, 2025

A corner hangout the Bulls have half-claimed and half-ruined. Dope moves out the back door and fists fly out the front window.

Notable Assets

Small but steady dope operation behind the Rocket, mostly uppers and stolen pills

Bennie’s Uncle – a union contact in AMC Local 367 who quietly passes intel and favors

Decent stash of stolen tools, stripped parts, and makeshift weapons

Serious stash of WWII surplus weapons, 'aquired' from the Butcher Boys thanks to the Southside Sinners

Quirks

Members have an unusual amount of knowledge about the layout and history of the Stockyards—some used to scavenge there as kids

Ritualized brawling—every new Bull gets their name after a two-on-one fight in the warehouse basement

They paint bull horns on street signs and alley walls to mark territory

Situation

After Matt was taken out by the H Boys, Ronnie stepped up and declared war on the Halsted Boys. The Bulls are moving wild and fast, hoping to climb while the Butcher Boys spiral. Bennie, the brains behind most of the operation, has been leaning on his uncle for union cover while the crew scrambles for new allies and corners. They’re reckless, loud, and half-broken—but for the first time, they’re a threat.
