Any official pregame gatherings?
I work in downtown Chicago and hoping to head straight to a bar Friday after work and then to the game.
I know Park Tavern hosted ISU fans in 2016. Sounds like they will not be doing any official event Friday since the Pep Rally doesn’t end until 4pm. But they will on Sunday when we play in the Elite 8.
Here’s what I’ve seen so far:
Murphy’s Bleachers Thursday night 6-9pm.
Pep Rally Friday 2-4pm Navy Pier.

If anybody knows of any other official gatherings, post in here. Is Cyclone Fanatic hosting anything Friday?
If anything I may just head to Park Tavern again or some bar in the West Loop and start pregaming.

Was hoping for something other than the Navy Pier. Or, at least a spot after the pep rally and before the game.


Sorry, I'm not going to be there. I'm going to Greensboro for the Women. Wait, that didn't sound quite right. At any rate, if I was there, I would try to throw a CF party somewhere. Lots will just happen nearby. We packed into a place about a block east in 2016. Hopefully, on Friday, as people feel out the area, they will post and invite other CF-er's to join them.

It will be fun to see what happens in Greensboro. The team is staying at a resort away from downtown, so it may become the defacto party center for the WBB crowd.
