Which airport closer to the stadium?? Midway or O'Hare

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.

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.

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).

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
