Northwestern Tailgate

Anyone know a good spot for some tailgating before the Northwestern game? We've never been to Ryan Field and we're looking for some pointers. Thanks!

Duffy's Bar in Chicago is hosting a tailgate and shuttle to the stadium for that game.  I'm pretty sure it's $100 per person for tickets to the game, tailgating somewhere around the stadium, and a shuttle there and back.

You can do it yourself for so much cheaper than that.  Especially considering you can get to Evanston on CTA for $4.50 round trip just as easily as taking a shuttle from Duffy's, tickets will be cheap (NU never sells out, even for Michigan), etc. etc.

The alumni tailgate was in Chandler Park. That was also the location of the Duffy's (big Michigan bar in Chicago) private tailgate. Keep in mind that was in 2007, so they might have changed their locations. Either way, it was a real nice place to tailgate.

Agreed, I'd do Chandler Park if you have a chance, but since I believe it's a night game I'd suggest going to dinner in Chicago. I'd reccomend The Firehouse on Michigan Ave, Tru, or The Signature Room then heading out to the tailgate in Chandler Park (I was slghtly bored the year I went).

You are more than welcome to tailgate on my rooftop then take the CTA with me and my family.

On a serious note, if you are an alum or a part of the Victor's Club, I think Michigan is hosting a tailgate event. I just want to throw out that option because I don't know much about tailgating in Evanston.

from Midway take the CTA, a.k.a the "L". Take the orange line from Midway to downtown, transfer to the Red Line, that takes you north of downtown where you can transfer to the Purple line, which will take you right into Evanston.

There is no doubt the L (Chicago's Subway) is the best way to get to Evanston. No traffic, and if you are "smart" you can keep the tailgate going on the train pretty easily. We usually tailgate on our rooftop until 2 hrs. before game time and then head up on the L. Nice easy ride, and then an easy walk into the Stadium.

Go Blue!
