General information. Dress warm LOL! Speaking of the saving of seats. Is that a big problem in some places? Any good stories about it?
Funny story. About 30 years or so ago, back when playoff football games routinely got big numbers. We played Loyola on the road in second or third round.
Due to demand, we had 15 student buses plus tons of kids who drove. Our students took over the half of the main home stand Loyola stand. I was on field at the time but we laughed in warmups about all those pissed Loyola parent walking in 15 minutes before kick off and having to stand

Saving of seats is pretty common in communities who are invested in football. The late arrivals in Frankfort better rethink the meal at Cracker Barrel start time. Seriously there should be space for the visitors if anyone from Loyola wants to travel down. It’s not the first time the Griffins have hosted a playoff game.
I think it is a funny story…you are just grumpy MC63. You can share a laughable moment or two I am sure with the EDGY crowd?
And…do you have a story to share MC63. I thought this was about seat saving events. The W’s and L’s happen at each contest to make other memories. Having a seat saving destroyed by the elements with the snow fall today comes to mind for me😄.

Let's talk about the overpriced concessions at LWE, I'm all for patronizing schools when its for the kids, but a 9.00 cheeseburger with no combo that's Frankfort robbery, Winnetka would never!
Saving seats is a pet peeve of mine, including at midnight Mass. Once at a game a lady was saving a bunch of seats around her. I handed her the blanket covering seats in front of her and said I would be happy to move when the people showed up, which they never did. She continued being rude until my wife called her on it, at which point the lady got up and left.
Good for your wife. Good to hear someone shoving it in the face of those who think they're privileged. LOL!! 😀😀
Oh, I can tell you why he's crabby. LOL! 😀😀 Same reason I am elated. LOL!
Agreed! They farmed it out instead of volunteers from the various organizations on campus. Cracker Barrel or Social45 across the street on LaGrange are choices.
There is no reserved seating (laying down blankets, back rests, etc.). First come, first serve.
So much for the Chicago tradition of dibs ...

If that was for a hot dog, it would be a frankfurter robbery!
I often see signs forbidding such, they are ignored, but never any enforcement.
