My MT Greenwood guys love it.

I also just saw that there is a shuttle of some sort that runs from Midway to the stadium? Anyone know anything about that? Sounds like good potential to get from downtown to the game pretty easily. I believe it's the Orange Line that runs from Union Station to Midway...??
The media release already mentioned there will be buses from Dekalb to the game so they are trying to make it as convenient as possible for people to attend.
Lets pack the place and have a good time!

I plan on being there. A packed house and a win over BYU will make any issues about the stadium go away.

Good thin pizza, spicy sausage and pepperonis. Old time decor, think the 60s, including the bar area. The Old Style is served from a plastic pitcher, reminds me of my teens (don't ask).
Seatgeek stadium? Jeez, why not just have it at Brother Rice High School, stadium holds a few thousand, it'll look really crowded on TV!!
I was thinking Gately since MC moved out of there. They also did practice there a few years ago.
Likely would have to a play at 9am or 9pm to accommodate CPS teams.
R-fens : Gately was my second choice!! Gotta go with the 9am start!...and throw in a huge thunderstorm with no where to hide!!
Seatgeek stadium reminds me most of my extended family 'settled' in that area...meaning 6 feet under at Resurrection Cemetery. There used to places for post burial buffets on Archer, but that's not exactly the pre-game atmosphere we're looking for
