Anyone going to this game in Chicago? If so, are you tailgating, what section are you sitting in, and do you want to meet up prior?

Just bought my flight and game tickets this evening. I'm going out with a couple buddies Saturday till Monday. Any recommendations? If there's a tailgate we'll be there!

Oh, and upper level 356 row 18. We didn't have many options for 5 tickets together and waiting kind of last minute.

I'll be there from Thurs - Mon. Can't remember the section but it's like 223 or something like that. Would love to tailgate.

Hey guys I'm not going to the game, but I just want to warn the skins fans that are going but haven't been to Soldier to be careful. The fans in Chicago are absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I've been to 4 Bears games(I'm originally from Illinois live in Iowa now plus my pops is a Bears fan) I last went when the Skins played em back in 03 I think I know it was Spurrier's last year. Anyways I couldn't see another skins fan near me and I was being called dirty names, had food and drinks thrown at me. Another fan tried to get in my face and start a fight but the ushers got him and ended up kicking him out and moving me to different seats. Throughout the whole game and the other games I went to you can see security running up the steps to break up fights. Soldier Field is a nasty place to go I would compare Bears fans to Philly fans....drunk, ignorant, and think they know it all.

Anyways guys good luck and I hope y'all have a great time cuz Chicago itself is an awesome city to visit especially food and beer wise.....They just have idiotic fans......and most important Shall DA SKINS PREVAIL!!!!!! HTTR

!!!!!!

I've seen some of the same things @ FedEx. One skins-giants game I actually saw 5 fights during the game. And I could only see probably 4 sections to my left and had the barrier (200s) to my right.

That's crazy unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to see a home game.....I've just been to lambeau twice and Soldier four times. Lambeau is really nice probably the nicest place you can go as an opposing fan.

Unless you're a Pittsburg fan coming to FedEx. :shock:

Pittsburgh is fine. Saw the skins there. Green Bay was fine. Cleveland was fine. I'm from Chicago, so I have no problem throwing it back at them. Plus, I'll be wearing a blackhawks hat :lol:

I just got a tailgating pass and I'll let you know where we'll be.

Really really want to make the drive out from Minneapolis for this one, but tickets are super pricy! Can't get a seat for less than $150! Small price to pay for your first Skins game though...

There will be cheaper tickets closer to the game and/or at the game

Saturday night will be fun in the depaul area and near wrigley.

Working on a tailgate

just won an auction on ebay for two tickets in the 4th row of section 103...right where the Skins come out. Viewing the game from the corner won't be that great, but will be fun to be so close. I also picked up a South Parking pass where you can tailgate. Tickets are getting cheaper. I picked the entire thing up (2 tix and a $100 parking pass) for $540 Uppers are in the mid to low $100's right now. This is also the game that the touchdown club flies 200 or so people out for the game. Should be a good amount of skins fans there. If you can swing it, come on out.

I'm debating tailgating or just going into the game early and watching warmups because I'll be close to the field. Do you think it's worth going in early...meaning any player interaction or signed crap?

I went to that game.
I just sold my parking pass and I'm headed to a tailgate in the lot between Soldier Field and McCormick (East of Lakeshore Drive), halfway between the stadium and McCormick. I don't know who is hosting it, but there will be other skins fans there. The tailgate will be by the biggest flag poles in the lot and they have an orange bus.
