anyone make the trip last time? Should we tailgate or hit a bar in Chicago and then take the train to Evanston?
Evanston has a couple nice sports bars, or you can even cab up from Chicago to save time if you want to hang out on the city. Tailgating at NW is super lame.
I'll be tailgating at Wrigley. Both the bars and the Cubs game for as long as we can watch before heading north to our game.
NW tailgating is not bad at all but the problem is lack of parking spots. There are a few good bars on Central Street, walking distance to Ryan Field, that are usually packed before game time. NW students do not start school for another two weeks so crowd will probably be in the mid to high 20K range.
If anyone is interested, the Syracuse Alumni Club of Chicago is having a tailgate at the Evanston Golf Course before game for $20 with a cash bar
I'll be there with my dad, GP--short trip from Minneapolis. Hopefully we can link up.
Evanston GC is about 4- 5 blocks from Ryan Field. Should be a great time at the tailgate which will be featuring Goose Island products...How far from the field?
