Just got my tickets today! Section 441 Row 24! The nosebleeds!

Anyone ever been to soldier field before and know what the upper deck seats are like? Am I going to feel like I'm so far up in the sky that I can talk to God? I tried a "virtual stadium" thing that didn't look too bad, but I don't trust virtual stadiums all that much.

I will be there, making the eight hour drive from Toronto Thursday night. Going to wait until the last minute and try and get some cheap tickets from Stubhub or scalpers.

will be attending the pep rally and wander the parking lots before the game meeting fellow irish fans

 

[Ndaccountant]

Are there any close ND bars to party at for those without parking passes or for those who wish to start the party before the lots open?

@NDTH91, nearly every seat in the stadium is good...but that high it will be cold! Especially w/ Soldier Field being right off the lake

 

[rikkitikki08]

I wish, the tickets were way expensive.....Ill be at the BYU and Wake Forest games

I just bought some of those toe warmers that hunters use, even though 37 really isn't THAT cold. Nothing is going to ruin my gameday experience.

Perfect! Glad to hear that. I love me some hot chocolate. 30 degrees and a chilly wind doesn't scare me in the least!

Nope. Soldier Field is not walking distance to really anything haha.

I'm going, too and am in the nosebleeds as well. Dress warm ... that's the windy side of the stadium I've been told! GO IRISH

 

[NDHoosier101]

I wanted to get tickets, instead my buddy ended up getting Purdouche-Michigan tickets so I'll be there .

At least I can wear my ND jersey with pride knowing we defeated both pu and um!

Not any close by, but there's a bunch of ND bars in Chicago, to go along with all the other bars in the city.

You got Blarney Stone in Wrigleyville, which is fun. Halligan Bar in Lincoln Park isn't bad. I like O'Shaughnessy's in Ravenswood, I actually live only a couple blocks from there. O'Donovans in North Center is nice. Racine plumbing is pretty sweet, and I think Temple Bar is also an ND bar. There's a ton. Chicago is awesome, huge ND town obviously, there will be a lot of people filling up the bars to watch the game Saturday.

This might help some:

Notre Dame Club of Chicago » The largest alumni club in the nation.
