Duffy's....I was supposed to head down but I have family in town so I'm going to watch it with them instead. Kinda wish I was going to be in Chicago though.

I'll see if the owners of rockit do it right since they are Michigan grads
September 11th, 2010 at 9:43 AM ^
I don't know any better I've never watched a game down there. That's just where I was invited to go. I must have loser friends.
September 11th, 2010 at 9:49 AM ^
it just felt empty and shallow and I didn't like the people at the bar

Rockit Wrigleyville is the UofM Club of Chicago's official spot this year. I believe they have the whole place (so no annoying ND fans) and the owner is an M grad. Probably a good bet.

(and this was not a "you should have looked it up post"...it was over a week ago...but I bet there's more response in that thread than we'll get in this one before 3:30, so you'll have time to choose and get there)

I was just asking where people were going today.
if anyone goes I'll be the guy sporting an adidas hat with a Nike 15 jersey (is that a faux Pas)?

No Mike Cox will have a huge day and you will look like a genius.

good call on rockit. one of the 3 owners is a michigan grad and they have donated money to the alumni club to support activities and scholarships to chicago kids attending michigan who could nototherwise afford it. so in supporting them you support these activities.
think of that- while you're drinking beer and getting hammered you're doing good for an underprivileged child in chicago. should make you feel even better.
they are also open to any ideas of how to make the game experience better
no not an employee of rockit, but yes i am on the alumni board.

... any chance i can get into one of these places just to watch the game? I dont want to show up only to find out I can't get in.

Most of these places are Bar and Grill's. They don't start carding for entry until after 9PM. You should be good to go.
September 11th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
Duffys starts carding the minute the doors open on Saturday mornings. I don't remember whether Rockit does or not.
Additionally, if you're not already at Duffy's you're not getting a table or seat at the bar.

We'll have ~8-10 at The Field House. Come on over. They'll probably be some ND and OSU fans there - but at least you can watch more than one game (during commercials). And bring your Five Guys into the bar and eat it since they don't have a kitchen.

How was Rockit-Wrigley?
