I just moved up to Chicago and am wondering if anyone knows of a Saints fan bar up here. Stupid Comcast doesn't offer the NFL package so I will have to find a bar to view the games. Any help is appreciated.

You should just get the NFL Sunday Ticket and you can watch the game. I live in the chicago area and thats what i did last seeason. However, the townhomes i live in fined me 150 a month for having a dish outside. Now i just have to go to BWW and watch the games.

I don't have Dish Network and am not going to get it. I am also renting right now with plans of buying in the next year and don't want the hassle of messing with installation twice. Comcast sucks. Where do you live? I am in Wrigleyville. Supposedly a bar called Fearon's on Ashland has NFL Sunday ticket but I don't know if they will show the Saints.

I'm new to the city too. Come back and update me if you find a good place. Right now my plan is that my gf picks up a bar shift once a week. Her bar has Sunday ticket so im hoping i can convince the manager to have the Saints on one TV for me every weekend.

Will do... I am afraid that I will be forced to go to Bufallo Wild Wings if we don't find an alternative. Needless to say, I am going to search vigerously.

Here's what I did when I moved to Brooklyn..... go to an LSU game, meet a bunch a people from South Louisiana, ask if they're saints fans and find out where they watch the games. Worked for me.

I live in the Libertyville area. Let me know if you find a good spot. Usually the bars that have Sunday Tickets will turn on whatever game the first people in that section want. Of course on the small tv's
