Hope Lunney unleashes the krakken. I really, really, really want to open a can of whoop as$ on the used car salesman/boat rower. I really do.

Was just there last weekend. Unfortunately, all the clothing stores blend together (I stopped at 3). I will say that Grange Grove has limited inventory.
Game Day Spirit at Neil and Kirby is large and loaded with options for everyone in the family. Just 4-ish blocks from the stadium.
Chicago is pretty diverse in team support. But if I had to pick one school which is the most popular there I'd say Notre Dame. Northwestern is probably like 8th lol.
How sky high? Weighing stopping at savoy Walmart but time is tight
We’re 5-1. Don’t be shy about opening the wallet.

I’ve actually been tracking this for three years for fun, and HARD disagree, lol. My wife and I have made a bit of a game out of it, but Notre Dame’s support here is way overstated. These are the apparel totals we’ve marked down in my super official iPhone Note over three years where Illinois has not been good…
Illinois - 122
Michigan - 74
Iowa - 68
Wisconsin - 54
Indiana - 47
Notre Dame - 46
Michigan State - 41
Northwestern - 31
Purdue - 28
Ohio State - 21
Illinois State - 11
Missouri - 11
DePaul - 9
Loyola (IL) - 9
Marquette - 8
Texas - 8
Alabama - 6
Colorado - 6
Iowa State - 6
Miami (OH) - 6
Minnesota - 6
Northern Illinois - 5
Hey I'm glad to be proven wrong! That's encouraging to read honestly.
But I WAS dead on with Northwestern hahaha.

If you took a poll it would be us. But we punch below that weight in terms of fans at bars, gear you see around, etc.
I will be running out to grab some beer in my Illini sweatshirt shortly to rectify that!
Chicago media doesn't care about NW either.

Lol this is great work.
Seems way low on Loyola, but maybe that reflects my living in Lakeview and spending a decent amount of time in Andersonville/Edgewater. Love to live right by the school that handed my team one of the most painful defeats ever. It's as if I lived at 2003 Steve Bartman Road and had to see that address all the time

Don't know if this is helpful, but I bought a size 4T dress for my daughter at the Illini Union Bookstore a couple weeks ago for $35 so anything less than that is a steal

Yeah, it’s worth noting we are in Gold Coast. Also, a disproportionate amount of the Notre Dame apparel I’ve marked down has been at the few Sox games I’ve attended, as one might expect.Lol this is great work.

The Chicago media almost treats Illinois like an ex-girlfriend it can’t trust and would rather ridicule than open up to, lol … when we get good at anything, those chumps pour on the love, but they’d almost rather be “above” covering us when we’re not.
The media covers what is relevant to its viewers/readers which is NFL/MLB/NBA. Illinois being irrelevant in football and basketball for a decade before the past couple of years didn't help.
Anyone have a link to a replay of the Bielema GameDay segment? I missed it.
Didn't notice I'm the second to ask.

Thanks for asking. Anybody? I missed that GameDay segment too.

Oh man I miss it. Wellington and Broadway is probably my favorite apartment ever. Stella's, Flub a Dub Chubs, Monsignor Murphys.....great 'hood.
On the edge of "Lincoln Park", but it was Lakeview to me.
Every fan within 50 miles of Champaign who is free needs to get to MS now and help fill the stadium. Every additional fan in the seats will help win this very pivotal game! This team deserves it!
