I don't think there is much to read into why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champaign... not so sure. I will be there with him if it's in the Windy City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium will be pretty empty. Regardless, this seems very fun for a family trip. Considering it.... I believe I read somewhere that they do this every two years to connect with alumni in Chicago. And yes - it is a fun trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed there a few times. Thinking of booking that one, too. Just a block off Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just booked airfare via Southwest today. Sept just opened up. About $280 RT depending on which flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother lives up there, and lives near the Cubs, so if I could do a Bulls and a Cubs game, I may be able to make that work. Soldier Field's pretty cool, if you haven't been there before. The locals say it's a very nice historic stadium that looks like a spaceship landed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gutted it and landed a UFO in the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good alternative if you're ok with no-frills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
