[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1326143, member: 590800"] I know we often complain about a lack of loyalty from Chicagoland, but my friend who lives in Chicago said that there's kind of a prevailing attitude (among both Illini fans and fans of other Big Ten Schools) with people he's met that Illinois "doesn't need its own bar(s)" because it's assumed that any old Buffalo Wild Wings, et. al. will be playing an Illini game over anyone else's if the Illini are good. Now, obviously Illinois is not good ... but in a season like 2007 football or 2005 basketball, if you were a fan of a team playing the same time as Illinois, you're simply SOL. So, there's a huge market for grads of "out of town" teams to have a bar dedicated to their team no matter what time the game is or what other games might be on at the same time. Food for thought on the matter. [/QUOTE]
