Chicago Roll Call

[SoBeCuse]

Not terrible but not the best either. I wouldn't mind it myself, but I can see someone "not so city savvy" worrying a bit...lol Damen bus should take you right to UC from Blue Line

Right. I hear ya.

Holding out hope, but it's not looking good. For those fortunate enough to make it, go to Au Cheval, don't eat deep-dish pizza, and buy Scoopadelphia a beer to congratulate him on his big election victory.

Can anyone recommend a couple hotels that are fairly close to the arena?

You will want to stay on North Michigan Avenue, circa Chicago Avenue (800 N.) give or take 2-3 blocks.

Do you have a link? Tip times for Sunday's matchups are traditionally @ 2:20 pm, and 5:05pm. Not doubting you, just seems late for Sunday's elite eight games.

I think TBS might have the games this Sunday? That could push them more into prime time. Not sure

Good call on Au Cheval. Also on Randolph St. Yes, don't even bother with deep dish! Deep dish is malarkey. Might as well be quiche or lasagna.

Cusetroops broke a$$ is selling the farm and will make the trip from Alaska. See you Friday!

CuseTroop, you are as loyal a maniac as I have ever seen! I would like to meet you some day, but am kinda scared.

I cant recommend the hotel from experience, but I just booked 2 rooms at the Westin on Michigan Ave on Priceline and it is listed as 4.5 stars. I got each room for $110 per room, per night, which to me is very very cheap for a 4.5 star in a major city with a prime location. Working in the travel industry I know that we couldn't have hit this weekend any sweeter in terms of reasonable prices! Hope to meet you there!

Though it is more River North, I have stayed at Kinzie Hotel and Hotel Palomar a few times. Both are outstanding. Both about a 2 minute walk to the Red Line and a 5 minute walk to the Blue Line stop. If you see a good deal on Priceline/Hotwire or wherever for either of these; do it!

Stayed at the Kinzie. Liked it a lot. Good location.

Sigh, while I liked some episodes the later office seasons were quite bad.

 

[CuseTroop]

Pretty sure I'm bringing my 8 foot long Cuse banner (like the one hanging at the fox). If the windows don't open in my hotel, we have to think of something cool to do with it.

Ideas?

It's called the Willis Tower now. Buddy of mine is managing partner of a law firm in the building so maybe he can hang it out his window. He's a Michigan man though.

Really? Taking the easy way out? What happened to a good old fashioned climbing of the exterior of the building? Soft.
