I am going to be in Chicago Thursday for a conference. Have been thinking about going to the game but I don’t want to commit to a ticket till I get there ie I want to wait to see how the meeting is going and just how “cold” it is.

So any thoughts on picking up a ticket outside the stadium Thursday night?

And would it be safe for a Saints fan? Sorry, have to ask that as I am a nervine female when it comes to large sporting events!

The Bears fans are not the nicest of people. The cold isn't to bad b/c the wind is not much of a factor - just dress warm. I had tickets before hand so I'm not sure about picking one up around the stadium.

not to sure about the safety in and around Soldier field, but I can assure you Bears fans are some of the biggest assholes in the league.

you could easily scalp a ticket for sure, but being a female Saints fan your subject to way over paying. I suggest you post up at a nice bar and enjoy the game in a warm place with decently priced drinks.

I would not step foot into their stadium. I went with 3 ladies to the Saints v Bears playoff game and they were horrid. Their fans are bonafide lunatics and psychopaths. I will never go back to the city of Chicago unless the Saints are in the Superbowl in that stadium and the Bears are not playing.
