What time should one leave their downtown hotel in order to get to the game on time then? Not driving but will most likely cab or uber unless there is an easier way.
I'm assuming the doors open an hour before tipoff? It depends how early you wanted to get there, but I would leave yourself about 30 mins of travel time from downtown to the UC. At that time on Friday, it can take quite awhile just to go a few blocks because a lot of those streets get gridlocked.What time should one leave their downtown hotel in order to get to the game on time then?

I am kind of surprised they are putting Iowa State-Virginia and Gonzaga-Syracuse on CBS and the other region on TBS, but then again I suppose Wisconsin-Notre Dame is not a marquee matchup even though Indiana-North Carolina is.
I see the Blue L train stops just 2 blocks south of the United Center. Is it better to do that or cab/über it from River North area to the UC?
Damn, was hoping for the late game.
I was also planning to leave at 11. Reading this I feel like I'm already too late.If I planned on leaving Des Moines at 11 on Friday morning will I be cutting it to close?

I'm staying in the River North area and it looked like taking the 65 and 50 buses was the best public transportation. I have a bus stop right outside my hotel and it looks like the 50 drops off right by the UC. All I've seen on here is people recommending the train. Any pros/cons to the bus versus train?
Will traffic from the west (heading east) be significantly less than heading west (out of downtown)? Or will it be crazy at that time no matter the direction?
Is it okay/safe to just walk from a hotel near the Monroe station?
Google Maps says it is a 30 minute ride/walk on Blue Line, a 45 minute just to walk it.
Not much of a time different. Just wondering if it is an "okay" area.
