Great place to watch a game. Allow plenty of time to get in. All spectators have to go through metal detectors

Oh boy, do I have advice! Seeing as you’ll have a super short commute into the city might I suggest stopping at the McDonald’s on Addison across the street to relieve yourself before you head in. No matter what the condition of the fast food slum I guarantee it will be better than the working toilet available, yes that’s singular for a reason. Once you arrive you’ll be forced to park in the back lot off Western and then walk all the way back to the main entrance on Addison in order to get strip searched poked and prodded upon entrance. Bag check, wand, the whole nine yards. Hopefully you get one of the lovely red coats that isn’t super angry yet before you’ll be escorted to your seat. As you make your way up please don’t delay or linger unless you’d like a stern reminder about your behavior or attitude. Once in your seat do not stand or cheer too loud let alone try and stand near a railing for that is a sign of actual treason. A simple false step will get you a warning of ejection. Upon the completion of the game these same friendly faces will ensure your prompt exit, so they can ensure you don’t think about enjoying yourself. Once you’re back to your car it’s everyone for themself and you’ll fight to exit the parking lot without any direction.
I will never understand the love people after for that stadium. It is my least favorite place ever. Also I’d suggest you tell your coach to have the team make a stop by McDonald’s if any of them
Have to use the bathroom as I doubt any in the locker room works. Also if you have more than 50 players may I suggest changing in shifts. Just be happy that you won’t be getting CPS refs, at least I hope you won’t
Outstanding😂
I’m guessing you’re looking for a more thorough security screening?!?!😂
I’ve never seen the parking lot monitored. Red coats are strictly worried about the happenings inside the stadium
Honestly, never have seen much tailgating in that lot. Though, if I did tailgate, I would take the above advice about bathrooms into account.
I was thinking of using the food as a gift to the security dudes. I’m sure they won’t turn down a hot Italian with giardiniera on a Turano roll.
Neuqua to Lane on a Friday: 42.9 miles, typically between 1 hr 5 min - 2 hr 30 min
Geneva to Rita on a Friday. 48.1 miles, typically 1 hr 5 min - 2 hr 20 min
"typically"

I’m not so sure, but either way the food will be cold after it sits through the long walk to the Addison entrance, where it will be subjected to waiting in a ridiculously slow line for the bag searches. you might think you can avoid the lines by getting there early, only to have to wait behind the cheerleaders, football players, coaches, and band members all getting searched.
Can anyone add comment or confirm that the IHSA has made a request to school admins to make every effort to schedule first and second round games on Friday night this year?
NV is sending a bus/busses for students who want to go. I’d hate to get behind them in said line.
I think I’ll go see Marist/NN or Marengo/Sparta instead.
I can confirm and if you watched our IHSA post pairings show we discussed it....basically it's concern over the ref shortage.....many refs also do college football on Saturdays (better pay etc) and limits the overall pool of available refs.....especially in the first few rounds. It was went in a memo and as you started schools were "encouraged" but no hard demand for it.
Andrew at Huntley (7pm Friday, I believe) is about 75 miles which should take 2+ hours during a Friday rush by bus.
Good move, if you’re in line behind them you might be lucky to catch the second half with the speediness of their search
Not in all areas! Staying in Smithton now until December 1, corn and beans on three sides of me. Neighbors have cattle, goats and a donkey, which HATE coyotes, so the calves and goats remain safe.
355 only better south of the East-West Tollway. North of that, including 290 and that jammed exit onto 90 West, dark shades of red rule on traffic maps during Friday afternoon rush.
Stay in the left lanes to avoid that muck - once past 90, get back over to the right.
Yes, you can usually sneak in front of an 18-wheeler, although other cars usually have the same idea. Another move is just to head a small distance north on 53 to exit immediately on Algonquin Road west, go under 53, get back on 53 south and get 90 west quickly on the right.
Who better to comment than the CPS Crew !
Nowadays, sneaking in front of an 18 wheeler just puts you behind another one, and between two others. I've never encountered so much truck traffic as I have i the past couple years. 294 is just awful - terrible. Recently, I went south on 83 from Elk Grove to Darien, unaware that I would be driving through endless truck depots and resulting traffic. It's not a mistake I'll make again.
