Info on Downers Grove North, please

[MC63]

I know that the school is located on Main Street, just south of Ogden. Any info on visitors stands, parking, concessions, paper tickets ...thanks.

For those of you unfamiliar with Downers Grove, exit the Tri State at Ogden west and drive a couple miles and make a left on Main.. From I88, take Highland Avenue exit South -- it becomes Main (proceed past Ogden)

Not sure when game time is but if you have time hit up The Country House before. It’s on 55th and Clarendon Hills. Easy to get to off Ogden. Go south on 83 to 55th St west. Get a cold beverage and an elk burger……

Will they get past the 50?

DGN has a pretty cool stadium, tucked into the school itself. The main entrance to the stadium is in the southwest of the stadium, but there is another gate in the southeast corner, just off the sidewalk running east/west along the north wall of the school itself. The SE entrance is just south of the visitors stands.

I've always parked in the parking lot east of the school, across main street, just north of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Parking is easy, short walk to the entrance, and into the stands. Visitor stands are pretty spacious and accessible.

I've never utilized their concession stand, but it looks organized. There are a lot of options to pre-game/eat in downtown Downers Grove, straight south along Main. Capri, Pierce Tavern, Gatto's, Wasabi...

West Sub Silver is strong this year (4-0 this weekend) and DGN returns 17 starters, all 3 losses were close so I expect a good game. I expect this will be a good game but expect MC to win, but who knows with a few key turnovers?

It’s been a bit since my last visit there, but this is a very strong rec 👍

Country House is great - but gets full quickly. If you hit it before 5, you should be okay. After that, you'll be in a rush to get to the game. On a normal evening, it'll take about 15-20 minutes if you don't get caught by a train. It's about the same whether you take 55th and go through DG, or you take Route 83 to Ogden, and go West. Traffic gets heavy in the evenings between 294 and 355 along both Ogden and 55th.

I think Mt. Carmel has a chance to get past the 50, but probably not until the 4th quarter (when DGN has the 2nd unit in).

Only LTHS will make it to the QTRS this year
