I am in Chicago staying by O'Hare ...any MU viewing bars in the area?
Obviously, I mean for the game tomorrow.
Might be tough out there with the Hawks being on at the same time
I work in rosemont (next stop on the el) and will probably be driving into the city around 6:30 straight to an alumni bar if you'd like a ride message me. If not for games like OSU where I was leaving work when the game had started I just go to Adobe's in Rosemont as well. But honestly Toby Keith's and that german place aren't bad places either. Little chance of finding alumni around unless I happen to be going to rosemont because I work late.
couple of good ones an hour-and-a-half north. ;D
Peggy Kinnanes in Arlington heights is the closest alumni bar. But I'm sure any sports bar in rosemont would put the game on for you.
Thanks to all.
Taxi to Glendale Amtrak. Amtrak to MKE short walk to BMO
I am going to be in Chicago next weekend when MU is playing Providence.
I notice the game is on FS Wisconsin, not FS1, so I am guessing I will need to find a sports bar that usually plays MU games to watch.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Game is on the MSG Network if that helps.

Bars that are the best bet for finding the game on:
Cortland's Garage
Schoolyard
Bradley Center (just a short commute...)

I struck out on the locations. Going to be in Milwaukee when MU is playing Depaul in Chicago, and in Chicago when MU is playing Providence in Milwaukee. Unfortunate, but I will try one of these places out. I recall reading on here in the past that Schoolyard is a good place to go, so I will probably try that out. I am guessing they get the sports pack and will have the game..

Depends on your age and way you like to drink. If you still wish you could be in the student section except that the student section was in a bar then the schoolyard for sure. If you aren't into that try the garage or four shadows

I agree with this assessment. At least Schoolyard remodeled and looks nicer than it did before.

True but I didn't think it was terrible before but the previous three years of going there Id been in college so that could explain it.

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. Is it a virtual guarantee schoolyard and the garage will be playing the game even tho it is not nationally televised (Fs Wisconsin and MSG)?

Yeah, I still don't mind it. Plus the proximity to me kind of takes the cake. Still yet to make it to Cortland's but hear great things. I'd be for a Scoop meetup at one of those venues in the near future.

I've seen the schoolyard even stream games online before it'll for sure be on.

Ya same plus I don't mess with happy and have yet to be unhappy at the schoolyard. A scoop meetup would definitely be a good time.

Too many Badgers there, as I recall.
Why not just go to the allstate arena and catch the game?
Edit: Wowzers dead thread bump

You must have not been there during a Marquette game.

Between diehard marquette fans at the marquette bars and going to an overall wisconsin bar Id choose the Marquette bar. Also Will's is a UW alumni bar so unless there's a packers game nobody could pay me to go there... Unless UW football or basketball is getting destroyed in a high profile game
Schoolyard didn't even have the game on last night. Tough to be a Marquette bar without FS1

That's incredibly surprising. Usually they are completely on point.
It's true, I was at Schoolyard last night and they did not have the game. Schoolyard has Direct TV and DT does not have FS1. The manager was on the phone with DT but couldn't get the game on. More than half the bar walked down the street to Justin's. Very disappointing. How can Schoolyard not have this figured out? We have been on FS1 for a season and a half now.

They should have turned to Channel 219. That's FS1 on Direct Tv and how I have watched MU for the past season and a half.

Your bolded statement is very incorrect. DTV certainly does have FS1 - in fact, it is part of the regular cable package and not even the Sports Pack.

Maybe you should call the Schoolyard and give them a heads up because there were a lot of disappointed people there last night. Maybe its just their package but the manager told everyone they did not get the channel on DTV. I don't have DTV or know anything about it, I am relaying the info I have from last night. No need to get upset and defend your cable package.

I couldn't be less upset. Just telling you that the person at Schoolyard was wrong.
I have DirecTV and I watched the game without any problem last night.

So what's the word does the schoolyard have FS1 or am I off to four shadows?

Game is on CBS Sports.

Yes, schoolyard has both CBS Sports and FS1. And usually streams web stuff if they can't get it through their package. However, Schoolyard might be playing the Illinois game as well there as they play at Northwestern tonight at 8 as well.

Probably was, but if you're going to bitch about something, at least be right about what your bitching about.
