When my son and I attended the Cards /Rams game in St louis last year, MANY of the group said they were planning a road trip to Chicago this year.

So I'm reaching out for help. Arizona Elvis has his connection in St Louis and it is so great to sit together at an away game with all Cardinal fans. I'm here in Chicago but unfortunately I don't have any connections. My son and I will be waiting in line the day single game tickets go on sale and we are willing to ( and will) purchase as many tickets as they allow us to.

Unfortunately, I think there will probably be a limit of 4 tickets for the each of us. That's not nearly enough for all that would like to attend. I'm sure everybody would be able to get tickets thru stub hub but we all know how expensive that can be and of course we would not be sitting together.

I know it's early to be talking about this but if anybody knows anybody it would be a great time to get in touch with them. Let me know. I wouldn't mind arranging a meeting place before the game so our "flock" can enter together!

I am planning on the Bears, Rams, Lions and Titans away games this year. My brother lives in Chicago, as well. Maybe we can get a big group for tailgating and watching the game. All in Cardinal Red. Keep me posted.

Depending on when, I'm interested too - no one hates the Bears more than me.

The wife and I are in to, depending on when the game is. It would be nice to all get tix together, but the only way I see possible is going through a ticket broker. That sounds mighty expensive.

Even getting tickets at face value is tough in Chicago. I have a buddy of mine who is a kind of a ticket scalper (mostly for Gren Bay tix). I can have him check some of his sources.

Vegas, baby, yeah!
I may be able to make the CHI game, but it depends on a variety of different factors, which I won't know until June.

Worst case scenario, we are all able to get tickets on our own, decide on a meeting place so we can go in together.

Again, my son and I will purchase as many tickets as we can when single games go on sale. Unless somebody comes up with a connection, it would probably be a good idea for everybody to do the same thing. Getting rid of them will be no problem.

I bought tickets in 01 or 03( when Jake was still QB) and I got unbelievable seats about the 40 yardline 35th row behind the Cards bench.

Of course that's when we stunk. NOW we are the NFC Champs! :thumbup:

I am going to try and get there as well. Depends on when the game is though. Went when Jake was the quarterback and got decent tickets, end zone corner about 15 rows off the field.

Will go to the Rams and want to go to Tennessee as well.

My wife & I will be in Chicago, Tennessee, and Jacksonville for sure. I usually use Stub Hub for tickets unless I can get decent ones when they go on sale. I'll probably go to the Giants game as well since it's 20 mins from my house.

Hope to meet some of you on the road this season!
