Who's headed to the United Center?
- Thread starter Mr Janny
- Start date
I wouldn’t spend 9 hours by the united center. I’d venture down to millennium park or something by the loop or blue line and trek on over closer to game time. There’s a couple bars nearby but would be tough to spend that long there
They are talking almost as if they would be offended if we didn't boo. The best post is the one who said ISU was jealous the Big 10 would pick KU before ISU.

KU fans whining about us booing again. Funny to me because when I turn on a KU home game, I hear just as much booing from their fans...of course they'll tell us its justified when they do it.
Hooo boy. Long story short: shock jock Iowa fan boy radio host who trolls Iowa State and gives them back handed compliments got upset because Iowa State turned down his request for a press credential for the Sweet 16. He went nuclear and started sharing screenshots of emails with Matt Shoultz, the guy in charge of giving credentials. NCAA rules state you must cover the first weekend to get credentialed the second weekend unless the school grants an exception. He had an agreement with Iowa to not go to Buffalo but go to Chicago. He now expects Iowa State to honor that agreement and ISU told him to kick rocks.
They are just mad that they have a terrible football program (outside of kicking Texas, thanks KU) and they are self-conscious about that. I wonder what would happen if someone wore a Catholics vs. convict (Self) t-shirt to their game with Providence.
I'm always entertained by what things other fans think are important to the ISU fan base. I've learned SO much about us from Kansas & Iowa...

See everybody in Chicago!

In 2016, I used the time driving back from Denver (through Nebraska) to write my thoughts from 20+ years in Chicago. I don't claim that it was up-to-date even back in 2016 and I've only made slight revisions, but hopefully there will be something to help those of you going to Chicago (I'm going to Greensboro for WBB).
Here are the categories of my tips:

Screenshot them. That usually works for me. And easier to find on my phone.
They're in Google pay.
Now.
After about a half hour of frustration.
Lol most people would be able to throw a baseball and it bounce and hit multiple bars in the river north area/magnificent mile. Plus, that's where good majority of people will be staying, I'd assume. Uber or train ride up to Wrigleyville isn't worth it IMO.
Does screenshot not work like they say? I bought tickets for my old man and his buddies for Milwaukee and had to have one of them download ticket app to transfer them the tickets because it said screenshots wouldn't work?
The site said screenshots would NOT be accepted. There's this little roving squiggle that goes back & forth across the bar code to prove it's not a screenshot.
But yeah, screenshot would have been hella easier!
The only time I've ever used StubHub was on a Friday night after we beat Baylor, and we jumped in the car & headed for KC, Picked up our tickets at a Stub Hub "station" set up at the hotel where the team was staying.
I don't know how it works now in this age of mobile transfers. Is there a customer service number you can call, or an online contact "chat"?
