So for the USA-based, our one chance of seeing the warriors in action in the next round without buying a ticket to travel to Trini or Jack Warner being forced to call his bluff and book Giants Stadium, is the game against USA in Chicago on September. If you are seriously contemplating a trip to the windy city for this game, reply with a personal message or let it be known here. We can look in to taking advantage of some group rates, etc.

Midway to de stadium is approx 20 mins. From O'Hare is approx 35 mins.
That would be accurate if the game were at Soldier Field (our American football/occasional soccer stadium), its at Toyota Park, which is quite honestly five minutes away from Midway and they have a bus that runs two hours before each game to the park. Also, its easy to take this bus back Midway and the hop on the Orange Line to the Loop if thats where you are staying.
You know what i have never been to chicago might have to make a trip in September
You must come visit the greatest city in the world
I'll see you all there :)
-
Thanx for the info Worm2345...
Been to O'Hare many times, just never left the airport.... ;D

Now I need to get an idea when people will be arriving in Chicago. I am in discussions for a Warrior Nation group discount for a hotel. I need an estimate of how many rooms they should block and on what dates. Whether people plan on getting there on September 9 or on the day of the game. Right now without discount the rooms are $163.00, so let's jump on it! You will be responsible for making your own booking online using the Warrior Nation code by a certain date [TBD] in order to get the negotiated rate. Details should be worked out by the end of this week, early next week latest, depending on the feedback for anticipated arrival/departure dates.

$163 a night???
Damn Kimo Sabe... dey ent have Super8 out dey? lol

Game time is at 7PM Central time, you could easily get in that day, sleep and fly out of Midway the next morning, especially if you stay at one of the hotels near the airport. I'd suggest staying for awhile and seeing the city though. The Blackhawks, Bears, and Cubs/Sox will all be playing then (maybe the Bulls too) if you like other sports.
The most important thing is when at the game don't buy anything from the vendors, I got fired by that company before I even made it into the stadium (also its overpriced as hell). :'( ;D
I've never actually been inside the stadium, though I don't believe they have supporter's sections like they do pretty much everywhere else. Any ideas where Trini fans will be?

Appreciate the feedback... any insight on more affordable accommodations for the night?
What's the talk on your side are folks just thinking that your boys will have a cakewalk over the Warriors?
...and welcome btw :beermug:
-
Appreciate the feedback... any insight on more affordable accommodations for the night?
I've lived here my entire life so I've never had any need for accommodations. I can recommend you a hostel that is right near an El stop (albeit a bit of a ways from the stadium) for around $30 a night.
... and not that it matters, but what's your affiliation... who yuh rooting for? Kinda hard to tell, yuh sounding more like an ambassador for the city than a fan of either team. Doesn't matter one bit, so yuh doh have to answer... I juss curious :beermug:
I support Caribbean football. My main allegiance is to Ireland, no matter who they are playing I support them. My favorite Caribbean team is Montserrat, and then probably a tie between Trinidad and Jamaica (I know...unbelievable). I hate American soccer and everything about it. I mainly follow English football (all the way down to the Conference) so I know Trinidad and Jamaica better than most other Caribbean teams because they have more players (From Kenwyne Jones to Jason Norville) so I guess that is why I like them more. To put it simply, I will be supporting TnT and the match and supporting them to make the World Cup (yes...along with Jamaica) as I have since I have followed soccer/football.
What's the talk on your side are folks just thinking that your boys will have a cakewalk over the Warriors?
Please, never again refer to the US national team as "my boys" again. I was praying for a Barbados victory for the past two weeks just to shut those arrogant bastards up :) You can bet that they will think they are the greatest team in the world and will think it should be a walkover though, these fans think they are great because they can beat Barbados, that is part of the reason I hate them >:(

Oh okay... I'd changed the original post after I realized that you had a primary interest in Ireland's Nat'l team. Just assumed yuh was backing the Yanks... hard luck dey ;D
That $30 is right up my alley... but I ent think the s/o will find that too agreeable. I might need to find some sorta happy medium...guess I'll have to hit the net.
Montserrat? wth....lol that's kinda odd, to say the least. American fans everywhere can be insufferable for real... definitely hear you on that.
God forbid they break out that dumb ass U-S-A chant....no offense, but that has to be the lamest, stupidest, most unimaginative chant in the history of sports.

I have a friend who lives down there, I'll ask him if he knows anywhere

Yeah it is odd. I guess it stems partly from watching The Other Final, I've never been to the Caribbean either.

Oh they will, don't worry...I agree with you 100%.

Once we have enough interest, WN should be able to get tickets. For last year's Gold Cup, we were able to organize tickets for the games in LA and Boston.

Based on previous games anybody interested could get tickets since There is little chance of the game selling out. The goal is to have as big a section as possible.
But there is no harm in joining the WN as well.

This hotel is to the northwest of Chicago, basically about 20 miles. The game will be played on the other side of the city, basically you'll have to drive south through the whole city to get there. It should be roughly 40 miles to the game from your hotel :o
This Super 8 may be a better bet
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g35712-d266198-Reviews-Super_8_Bridgeview_Chicago_Area-Bridgeview_Illinois.html
Unless you are automatically flying into O'Hare, then maybe the one in Hoffman Estates is better, I doubt theres much of a price gap
I'll call the Ticket Office tomorrow about getting tickets (if I can remember)

I have received an offer from the Hilton Garden Inn at Midway Airport, 5 minutes from the airport and the stadium, for $139.00 per night, free airport shuttle. I am awaiting group quotes from 2 other hotels in the vicinity.

:rotfl: Well you and Sm killing meh yes. Well yuh know ah wouldn't answer yuh dry, dry so, ah must put in some things tuh spice up meh posts ;). Well all yuh know ah not in de lying thing tuh get any rank. Well lol.. I don't own a jet and I'm not a pilot as yet (I have started my hours doh, I just have to buckle down and hit de books again) but I'm a flight attendant (joking) :rotfl:.
Seriously doh, so much times ah said in some ah meh posts, dat I'm an aircraft mechanic at de airport for over 10 years. So dat is why my family and I, we cud ride de people plane fuh free ;).
Well SM, as far as having a wife as a flight attendant, ah doh want dat period and ah would also advise yuh as ah yute, not to try it either, girl firend, yes, wife no. Mind you, shit happens in different types of marriages , whether is flight attendant or not, but dat one tuh me, is an obvious one tuh know from up front. Although meh sister-in-law (de wife sister) is a flight attendant, ah still have tuh say it as it is wid dem. As you all probable know, dey are some of de most beautiful and sexiest females you might see. But wid dat said, ah must say dat dem pilots and dem does have ah field day wid dem poor flight attendants, single, married, trust meh, it is ah rap wid all of dem.
Back in de days before ah got married, ah use to date one from United Airlines. In dem days are was playing football fuh United Airlines, going on tour wid dem and meh mother milk was still in meh face, so de world was mind ;D. Damn she was pretty, but pressure from dem pilots when dey leave on dem flight yes, so ah said before ah have tuh open meh trunk and wait on ah pilot outside ah de airport and den end up wearing some orange clothes ;D, let meh dip while ah have ah chance ;). Ah cah talk about meh sister-in-law, cuz tuh be honest ah never saw her in dat, tuh really judge her. Ah just talking about from meh actual experience and from what ah does be seeing right now in de airport.
Well fuh de records, my wife have a regular day time job and she better be home by 6:00 PM :rotfl:. Nah ah just joking man, Supa doh police he wife like dat, life is 2 short and sweet, tuh be ah p***y watchman :beermug:.
On a different note if ah doh log back in de next few days, I would like to wish each and everyone that acknowledge and celebrate the 4th of July, a happy, safe and blessed weekend. Well all yuh know dis weekend is barbecue, family gathering and last, but not least, beating some juice. So ah not sure if ah will get de chance tuh come come back on here. What ever you all do, please be safe :beermug:. HIGHLY BLESSED.
