Going to the game. One section over from the bench.
Anyone else going? Thoughts on Reggie's before the game?

My wife and I will be heading down assuming we win on Saturday. If we lose, I'm not sure I'll put myself through the stress.

Marquette used to run buses down to Rosemont for alumni and students. That seems to have fallen by the wayside at the Winnie.
-
Yes. Does Reggie's have the bus go to the stadium like they do for Sox games?

4 blocks in yesterdays temperature is easy. 4 blocks in tomorrows expected temperature is not, just trying to plan. But I should probably get used to walking outside in the cold again as my return to work is impending so yeah I'd be up to head to Reggie's for a cerveza and wings.

Phone weather app thinks it'll be 45 that night. I can call and see if theyd do the bus
-
I will be there. Reggies is a great spot and def walking distance, even in the cold. I am rumors its $2 beer night as well. Should be fun!

I'd walk > 20 degrees. I'm not trying to win a quality of ice cream contest. You old folks always gotta make everything about how many hairs your still have on your chest. you put hot sauce and nails on your ice cream to make it as uncomfortable as possible too?
But seriously should I be using a different weather app? I've found the Apple one to be pretty unreliable.

I use What the Forecast. No idea how accurate is compared to others, but it always makes me laugh

Being in Chicago, I have to assume any bus will involve masking.

Big fan of it as well. Wings are good and cheap beers make it even better

City is far too dangerous for me

😂
I use AccuWeather. I like it because it warns me a storm will be at my GPS location in xx minutes.

It's a restaurant owned bus. Given the game is March 2, the mask likely will not be required for bars/restaurants unless they choose to starting March 1 (at least the mandate was going away on that date before I was on vacation).

It's no Milwaukee, hey?

Are we still talking about 4 blocks? Maybe Skat can meet you there and show you how to use a hat and gloves.

I'll get one very large coat. Body warmth is the best warmth.

The mask & vaccine mandate ends on Monday, unless Wintrust has their own rules. I doubt Reggie's has rules, they're too punk rock for that.
-
Reggies is the place to pregame. I posted here back in 2019 I believe. Bar was packed with blue and gold.
Chicken wings are incredible...I think they are the best in the City. Good strong drinks...good beer selection. Roof Top deck is open...so is main bar.
Take the free shuttle bus to WinTrust.
Forget Krolls or wherever else ....

Best wings are on 63rd and Western at Garfuna Flava
Reggie's are damn good though.

Deep track going with Garfuna! Have passed it hundreds of times, never had them. Born and raised on the southwest side in Beverly. 63rd st isnt for wing tourists.

Best avant garde brewery in Chicago is right by Wintrust
Duneyrr Fermenta - https://duneyrrfermenta.squarespace.com/
> Duneyrr is an Artisan Fermenta Project that focuses on the co-fermentation of wine, cider and mead ingredients with artisanal craft beer.
It's like the absolute best shandies/spritzes you've ever had, complex, acidic. Knocks my socks off. I think they have a tasting room, but if you're from WI maybe just stash a 12 pack in your car for the drive home.

Boxing took me to some less than touristy neighborhoods in my life.
Would 100% recommend trying them, though the bones have a tendency to break because of how slowly they're cooked.

Intriguing I'll have to check it out.

Didn't know they were down there! I really loved the Pinot Noir sour I had at one of my neighborhood bars. Really great stuff--I am hoping the bar gets the sav blanc sour on tap for spring/summer.

Marquette having event at Marriott Marquis before the game with skywalk into Wintrust.

Per Wintrust's website
> COVID-19 UPDATES – In accordance with the City of Chicago’s new mitigation guidelines effective Monday, Feb. 28, the vaccine requirement for attending indoor events has been lifted. While the citywide vaccination and mask mandates have been lifted for indoor events, masks are highly recommended to be worn by fans attending DePaul Athletics activities.

Thank You for the information Go Marquette!

Checked the weather and it seems walkable!
-
Will be there in 123.

Marquette used to run buses down to Rosemont for alumni and students. That seems to have fallen by the wayside at the Winnie.
Wintrust is significantly farther from campus than Rosemont, plus the buses have to negotiate downtown Chicago traffic. Per Google Maps, that increases the round trip by close to two hours.
-
I’ll be there as well!

Took the Marquette Bus in 2020 right before covid. Believe Covid might be the reason for no bus this time but not sure. Drove down from Milwaukee in 2019 for the MU DP game and for the TBT games was not bad.

Wintrust doing $2 beers before the game???!!!!!

Well, if DePaul doesn't like the large number of Marquette fans who show up at the WinTrust, this won't help matters.

But they only employ one server.

I can't find the details, but the $2 beers end early. Like an hour before tip or something.

They ended this afternoon.

Plan to be there. Non Marquette daughter has apt at Michigan and Roosevelt. Plan to be at hotel for pregame and got tickets directly from DePaul. Lower level corner near MU bench.
We've laid an egg in this game several times over recent years at Rosemont and I think here. Looking for a decisive if not commanding win but we HAVE to win this one for our own self-respect.... Can't relax.
Looking to enjoy the game and MU win.

Pregame Only - ends 7:30 PM

How is the parking situation? Easy to get out afterwards? Worth looking at spothero?

Use ParkWhiz or Spot Hero to find some parking a few blocks away. Easy Peasy.
-
If using Spothero be conscious of the location. They have spaces under the el tracks which can be a little eerie by the time the game ends.

One arena is 15 miles away, the other is 7. Google maps says to arrive at Wintrust by 7:30pm tonight you should allow 35 minutes travel time. For the Allstate they recommend 45 minutes travel time from campus for 7:30pm.

I think she was referring to MU's campus. 21mi difference, issue with student busses sitting on the Kennedy for an extra while they linger in traffic.

I think chick was talking about bussing down from Marquette to the game, not going from Depaul campus to the game.
-
my bad, but Wintrust would still be the better option bc it means you get two more hours on the bus pre-gaming. I think it was Mike Deane who once said: "The journey is the reward"

I agree, plus you could sneak away to Fatpour or Reggie's or the handful of breweries right there. All and all I'd rather take the bus to Wintrust than Allstate.

We were looking at booking a spot under the tracks. I don't mind eerie. The area looks to be safe?

DePaul students all have CTA train passes, the Wintrust is right off the El. Much easier logistics than Rosemont.
-
Is Reggie's a big spot? If we showed up at 6:30 is it going to be packed?
-
Reggies has a rooftop deck upstairs...
Main bar on 1st floor
2nd floor is a comedy lounge that they opened for as a bar for Superbowl
It will be crowded but its a big place

The roof deck will be enclosed, to be clear. But that's usually a good spot

Sometimes weird goop drops from the tracks onto your car and it's impossible to clean off. Train lube.

This is the time of year for train lube. If you have a white car, it's hell to get out of clear coat.

As one can tell by the massive increase in student attendance since they moved to Wintrust.

Apathy can't be cured by an on campus arena. But there's seriously no argument that someone can make that the Allstate would be more attractive for students unless they are specifically talking about student who commute from Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Arlington Heights etc.

Duh

Feelin' good about tonight.
Last few weeks have been a bit of a lull. I expect a large road crowd to give the fellas some extra energy tonight and get a solid Q2 road W.
-
Reggie’s sounds like an awesome option. Also Marquette Event at Marriot Marquis before the game is a great option too with their skywalk into Wintrust Arena. Parking Structure across the street from Wintrust is great too but can take awhile to get out of.

All 7 fans that attended the game leaving at once really jams things up!

Just be warned that they don't sell a big salad at Reggie's.
