CowgirlsFan Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Looking to make the trip out to Chicago for week 1, as it looks like I won't be able to make the home opener as I have a military commitment... Anyone have any connections out there? PM BuffaloBill...perhaps he can help out.
CountryCletus Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 PM BuffaloBill...perhaps he can help out. Thanks a bunch!!! I was a little skeptical to put this on here, but I've actually gotten some good info!!! Better than those browns fans asking for a good hotel
BUFFALOTONE Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I have an in with Abe Froman, let me know... The Sausage King of Chicago? Edited April 24, 2014 by BUFFALOTONE
RalphOP83 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Looking into putting an event together out there opening weekend (possibly at buddy guys) for the foundation of an ex Bill who also played for the bears... Will keep everyone posted
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Just checked into some other things in the area... Wife and I are Pirates fans, and guess what, Pirates are at Wrigley fri-sun... maybe we can have some beers at one of those backer bars Trivia Question: In what stadium have the Chicago Bears played more games than any in other stadium? 2nd Trivia Question: Have the Bills ever played there? Did they play the Bears in Chicago before 1970 (merger)? Hint(s): I am replying to this post above. The answer to the first trivia question will be changing in the coming years. :-)

BillsBackersChicago Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Hey guys, I'm the president of the largest Bills Backers group in Chicago. We're out of a bar named Lincoln Station. Delilah's is another great backers bar just down the street from us. We're in the process of trying to work out a game weekend package. Tickets are rough but we may have a connection. If not, we plan on at very least looking into hotel packages and hosting night before and pre game parties for the weekend. We have corporate connection (can't relase the name till official, but trust me, you all love their product) that we are working with to help throw the party and arrange transportation to and from the game. We will of course also be reaching out to Delilah's so we can join forces in hosting the Bills Nation. Will keep you posted as soon as things get a bit more concrete. Email me off the backers site if you have more questions, and as always, Go Bills!!
keepthefaith Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Ticket are very difficult to come by. Face value much higher than a Bills tickets and finding seats at face value very tough especially for a home opener. Best chance for a bargain is risky. Buy from scalper right at game time. If budget not an issue you can have a fun weekend in Chicago. You might find decent price on ebay if you hunt over the months ahead. Sometime people sell near face for quick sale.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Wrigley Field Yes, Yes I really hope I'm right! Yes to Wrigley. I am not sure if the Bills played there? People are claiming the Bills only won twice in Chicago and never @ Soldier... So it had to be Wrigley. Or, did the Bills play the Bears down in Champaign, IL @ Memorial Stadium when Soldier was being renovated? I think the AFC East played the NFC Central that year???
CountryCletus Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 Exiled- I'm pretty sure they played at Memorial Field... BillsBackerChicago- PLEASE keep me in the loop, wife and I are 95% sure we are coming and would love to participate in the festivities!!!!!

I'm not kidding when I say we should take to the streets and march both bars to meet in the center of Lincoln, traffic be-damned. I'll call the media. OH MAN! South from Delilah's, North from the Station, up Lincoln, meet SMACK dab in the middle at Jonquil Park on Wrightwood for a pre-game rally/board the busses!! Marv's in the neighborhood, we'll get him a mega phone.
