    Chicago Invitational

    I was checking to see if anyone was heading out to Chicago for the Chicago Invitation November 28-29th?

    I wanted to know if the tickets are for just UNI's session or if they are for all games, and what the cost was? Also, I will be staying with some family a few blocks from Wrigley Field, how far is the arena from there?

    Thanks for any help!

    The games are played at Hoffman Estates, at least a good 45 minutes from the Wrigley Field area. A lot depends on traffic. I would plan on an hour for travel. There are four games at the Sears Centre each day. I'm not sure if there is a morning session and night session or if the package is good for all four games each day.

      Three of us have tickets for the event. Staying at the Marriot Chicago Northwest about two blocks from Sears Centre. Not sure about tickets being for all games or just all UNI games. Brother-in-law has them. Plans may be slightly altered if the FB team has a home playoff game that weekend.

        The tickets are a daily pass for all four games.

            I certainly would have gone (my son lives in Grayslake, a NW Chicago suburb), but it's Thanksgiving weekend and I'll have family in town. Great event, just inconvenient timing -- for me, at least. I hope you have a great time. Sears Center is a wonderful venue.

              I'll be in attendance as well. What do you guys think our chances are against Marquette? Obviously they're an extremely talented team, probably the best team we'll face all year. I know they have 3 maybe even 4 nba prospects but I think we have a chance at keeping it close, especially because they're definitely guard oriented just like us. Overall, I think we'll keep it close but Marquette's talent will take over late and they'll end up with a double digit win. I'm interested to see how we'll match up against one of the best backcourts and teams in the country though.

                I think keeping it within 15 is a moral victory, for those who believe in moral victories, for the team in the long run. Marquette is a very good team.

                  We dont have a chance to beat very many teams this year untill that roster gets a whole lot healthier than it is right now.

                      Ditto. IF that doesn't happen for whatever reason, I'll be there.

                        I'll bet that Johnny Moran will make Dominic James his ***** the whole game, but Jerel McNeal will keep Marquette from being upset. I think it's feasible for the Panthers to keep it under 10. By the way, why are you referring to UNI as "us", Don't you go to Marquette?

                          by the way, I can't wait to team up with Mr. McDonough when the starting line-ups come onto the court to start the game and scream "1-2-3 GO PANTHERS!!!"
