I think it's the only upstate....but I could be wrong in Illinois we have a downstate so I guess that makes Chicago upstate...however, everyone I know just calls the whole area chicago.
It's funny, I grew up in Upstate NY....what was interesting is everyones defintion of upstate was different depending on what part of the state you were from. If you were from Manhattan upstate was mt vernon. If you were from mt vernon upstate was Poughkeepsie...etc
