Chicago Area Fanatics??
- Thread starter TyCy
- Start date
Sorry, got busy last night. I'll first say to familiarize yourself with the metro and bus systems so you won't spend tons of time figuring out how to get certain areas.
I'll respond with more later, but I'm going to start with some Vietnamese food. There is an area north called Argyle Street filled with asian restaurants and places, but mostly Vietnamese food (and into Broadway). This is good Vietnamese, most restaurants like Tank Noodle have TONS of menu items (like over 200 or 250) and it is all cheap. I'm talking about $6.50 for a giant bowl of Pho at all these places.

You can get there by the Red Line at the Argyle stop. It stops right there. Get off, and you're hit with a lot of places and Tank Noodle (for example) is on the corner of Argyle and Broadway.
I live in Lincoln Park, my roommate is also an ISU alum....there are a bunch of us in the city...If anybody was a fan of Damon Dotson at school he is playing in Chicago at the Elbo Room on Saturday night. There will be a large ISU group in attandance...

Corcorans (North & Wells) is supposed to be an Iowa State bar for our games that are televised.

I completely forgot that my 7th history grade teacher was a die hard Iowa State fan. He would make us write sentences if they would lose and double if they lost to Iowa.
I was there for some football and basketball games this past year....not a huge Iowa State crowd but at least your watching the games with the Cyclones Fans
It's not as bad as people make it out to be. I worked with a girl who went to ISU at my last job. And we have neighbor two houses over that graduated from ISU. You definitely find more Iowa people, but it's to be expected. Iowa City is a lot closer.
I lived in Morris for 2 years and just moved to Evanston a few weeks ago. I met maybe 3 ISU fans there in that entire time.
Oh really? Hm, that's about a mile north of me. I need to check that out. Good turnout usually?
I was at Corcorans's for every game I wasn't in Ames for and the turnout was better than we've ever had throughout the year. CPR enthusiasm and the NE & TX wins seem to have piqued the interest of the casual fan who used to only come out for the Iowa game. Solid end of year attendance the last 2 years (same can't be said for the Chizik years when we could lose to anybody on any day) and you can see optimism is high in the fanbase. Fizz up in Lakeview also hosts gamewatches
