Who's headed to the United Center?

[KnappShack]

We did take it the last time we were there pre covid!

I do miss swinging by the drug store and picking up a little box of wine for the Friday commute home.

Takes the edge off

Looks like we picked the right Hyatt to stay at. Clones are here!

But the train is a big part of that Chi-caw-go experience!

We have a free day on Saturday; no doubt we'll try it then.

Thanks! Ticketmaster has a parking pass for $27 to some lot k. That seems like a good deal. But there must be a catch.

Ha!

When the 8 year old kid comes up and says he'll "watch your car" while you're at the game...
Pay him the $20, or plan on replacing your hub caps, wipers, etc.

As some preiously mentioned - after the KU game, plenty of folks will leave, and you can move down. If I were going, I'd just buy the least expensive pair and move down for ISU game.

As their game winds down, find a KU fan, say nice win and ask for their seat stub.
Best way to move to the good seats.

We were at a different Hyatt...down by the Willis (Willit?) tower.

Sears.

Wrong thing happening this weekend. Parents are heading this way from the Chicago 'burbs to visit us.

Cheer loud for us while we hold down the fort here in central Iowa!

Ticket stubs don't really exist a whole lot anymore.

Ok, very iffy on going but need to solve this issue if we do- we would be driving down and back same night. What is the best option for parking and taking train or Uber? I saw o hare mentioned but we don't have to be in that area. We'd be coming from the north.

Helicopter!
It's worth it just to see the prices.

Not necessary in the official UC lots

I mean I can’t imagine that the high donor lot k is going to be a huge problem.

Finally got my tickets. The original ones I bought weren’t available. Got possibly slightly better seats. But what a headache.

These are on street parking probs

Also a situation that probably doesn’t occur all that often

You can park at O’hare and take the blue line from there to the Illinois Medical District stop (United center) but honestly you will probably spend the same amount of time on the train as you will sitting in traffic.

yeah being in my car would be better though, doesn't look like UC has great facilities for moms of infants. Moot point overall though......95% not going best locales for us for a while but sick kids all week and haven't left the baby before who doesn't sleep great. Grandma offered to come up but feels like a lot to dump double bedtime on her with a fussy baby if we aren't just out for dinner.

I’ve been to
5 Bowl games
1 Big 12 Championship Football Game
4 NCAA BB tournament games

I’m 0-10.

I’m thinking there’s a pattern here.
