Watching the Bulls in Downtown Chicago
 We all wish mike was still playing. |
Nowhere
is it more fun to watch a Bulls game than in downtown Chicago. Sure, sitting in your
living room is nice and it’s cheaper, but downtown crowds consist of rabid Bulls fans
who would be at the actual game if it weren’t for ticket scalpers and who go
there to be seen and not to cheer. |
| There are many great options for fans to watch the games. I asked Chicagonight’s staff to recommend the one place they think is best to go watch the games: |

Williams: Last year, I went to the bars on Rush and Division to catch the final game of the NBA finals. The area was packed with Bulls fans. I got there about an hour and a half before game time, and already Alumni Club, Mother’s, and many other places were already filled up. I was able to get into Poets, and the place was filled with Bulls fans and we had a great time cheering. After the game was the best part, as everyone left the bars and started partying out on the street. The street was filled with people, mounted policemen, police dogs, and news camera men and helicopters were all over the place filming us as we celebrated. Unfotunately, there was no rioting, I was looking forward to flipping over a few cars and bring home a few TVs. Seriously, it was one of the most fun sports experiences of my life and you will not be disappointed if you are down in this area for a game.You will definitely see me here again as the Bulls repeat the threepeat. |

Nadia Hindo: I went to about three different places regularly last year during the playoffs, and I think the place that was the most fun was Gamekeeper’s. The crowd and atmosphere are great and they have plenty of TVs to see the action. They have a lot of drink specials, and they will base some on how the team or Michael Jordon does. So it’s pretty cool to root for the Bulls to score 120 or MJ to score 40 so that everyone can get dollar shots. |

Sensible: The place I have been going to watch Bulls games is the Brew-n-view (you know - the Vic theater.) It is an awesome place to see a Bulls game because you get to see the game on a movie screen and it is filled with obnoxious Bulls fans who really get into the game (the taunting is real fun with all the other Bulls fans, last time I was there I was yelling that Dickie Simpkins deserved a sandwhich more than that Bill Wellington did and had the whole place laughing.) Drinks are reasonably priced, and after the Bulls are done, Brew-n-view will play movies for the rest of the night at no extra cost. As the games get further into the playoffs, more people come to the Brew-n-view to watch, so when the Bulls win their 6th, make sure you get there early. |
