My first saints away game. Getting in Friday night. Have a tour of wrigley scheduled for 12 on Saturday then plan on going to Standard for LSU vs Miss St. Spent a pretty penny for the tickets but should be a great trip.

Don’t go to the bathrooms alone. Seen people get snuck while taking a piss.

Good job mate - make sure you dont go to the most clogged up entrances (north) at Soldier Field - don't follow the herd, it will save you up to a half an hour if you are trying to enter the stadium at crunchtime. Walk around to the backside (south side) and you'll see way less traffic

Wife and I are flying up on Wednesday. Going to check out Hamilton, do a river boat tour, check out the Blackhawks on Friday evening, then fly home Monday.

I'll be coming in Friday! Likely not attending the game but will be around stadium. FIL is a die hard Bears fan. Never been in enemy territory before.

Flying in Thursday morning.

Everyone unite at the Standard Bar Saturday at 2:30 for the LSU-Miss St. game. It's going to be packed with Tigers/Saints fans. Can't wait!

I’m in 113 row 18. Was told that’s the away team section.

Damn I didn’t even think about going to the black hawks game.

Happy for you. If I road travel to a game, it will only be to a warm weather city, unless its a playoff game, and there is no choice. Im not built for the Chicago weather.

Suggest you get a pie from Lou Malnati's, and hit up the observation deck at the John Hancock building.

Definitely do a river boat tour. The wife and I went last August and it was pretty damn cool. Go see china town also.

We liked Giordano's better but they are both good. If you go to the Hancock Building pay whatever extra it costs to skip the line. It's miserable if you don't.

I've been in Chicago for a little while, my deep dish pizza rankings that I recommend would be:

1. Pequod's in Lincoln Park
2. Lou Malnati's
3. Gino's East
4. Giordano's

I would also recommend trying Chicago Pizza Oven Grinder, it's a pizza pot pie spot that is cash only and one of my favorite spots in the city.

last but not least, WHO DAT !!
