If anyone is looking for a place to watch the game near the loop in Chicago, Reggies is hosting an official watch party. Kickoff your Thursday night with some NIU football!!

Reggie's is located at 2105 S State. The Cermak Red Line stop is nearby.

Additional information on the watch party for anyone interested.

Ha! So true. I will miss the first 45 minutes to an hour as I try to navigate Chicago's expressways. And I really don't care because I am so sick of this MACtion crap. Not only do they make it difficult to attend the games but even to watch them.

In addition to Reggie's:

How in the hell did the best rock bar in Chicago come to host NIU's watch party? This is pretty bad-ass.

Small crew of us heading to Anyways in Oakbrook, to make it downtown after work would lose too much time

Game day for the biggest MAC game of the year. Lots of great watch party options. Come out and support NIU!

Too bad the game is not at 1:00 pm ET. Then I could at least watch an hour of it on my lunch break. I will write to the MAC and suggest a noon start for next year's game in DeKalb.

They had the time scheduled in advance as it appears on the niu schedule posters they handed out prior to the season. Who actually wants this game to be early? Espn that is who. Ug. It will be hard to leave early enough to get home tv let alone to a local watch party.
