I just drove down Clark Street outside Wrigley Field, and saw an NIU flag proudly flying over the front door of the Goose Island Brewery. (A "Chicago" flag is the only other hanging on their building. I know they have hosted our televised football games in the past... is there an event there today, or are they actually designating themselves as an NIU bar on a block dominated by Big ten flags (and one Alabama bar at the end of the block)?

In any case, nice to see thousands of drunk cubs fans looking up at a Huskie flag!

I think they are hosting an NIU Cubs outing today.

It is NIU's bar but not higly advertised. There is an NIU flag inside of wrigley as well. We dont have much though sadly.

Another small step for Huskiekind.

FYI, flag still flying on Clark street (over the front door of Goose Island). Maybe they will leave it up for a while. Stop in and let them know we appreciate it next time your in Wrigleyville.

About half of the people on here would not set foot in Wrigleyville. They prefer hanging out in the projects on the south side. Oops. I forgot. THey tore the projects down. I guess the good thing is it is no longer possible for a sniper in the projects to shoot a fan in the stands. THe downside is Sox fans now have nowhere to hang out.

Words seen on a t-shirt they were selling outside The Cell yesterday for the Sox-Yankees game: "Wrigley Field - World's Largest Gay Bar"

do cubs fans even need to ask why we think they're douchebags?
