Chicago Sports Fan Group in Raleigh

Ok everyone...I'm changing this group to focus on ALL Chicago fans! Is baseball your thing? Basketball? Doesn't matter! If you are a Chicago fan, you are among friends.

Now, in the interest of full disclosure I am a Bears fan and Cubs fan first and foremost, but, hey - we're all far from home. I hope that we are able to come up with a couple bars where people feel comfortable meeting up to watch our respective Chicago teams. Last fall we found the Backyard Bistro where they reliably welcome the Orange and Blue so bring on the ideas for Baseball season.

Any and all Chicago fans are welcome. Also, since I certainly can't get to all events, I welcome suggestions for the group. If you are heading out to watch a game just let us all know! If I do show up I may harass members to contribute $1-2 just to cover the dues but this should otherwise all be very loose and casual.

If you do schedule an event just make sure to tell folks how they can recognize you or the group - it helps new members and people coming on their own.

Old members: hope to see you sometime before football season. Feel free to send me feedback from last fall (would you like to see anything changed, any different ideas).
New members: Welcome! Everyone I met last fall was really nice and I think you'll be surprised how many Chicago fans are hiding out in the Triangle area.

Game on!

"I would be up for watching the Blackhawks to keep the group moving along. We could still meet up at Skybox. They have the NHL package but not the NBA package. What is the interest from others in the group on this?..."

"Hello everyone, Just wanted to send a quick message. Now that the Bears season is over, we can still get together for some Bulls/Blackhawks games. Does anyone have a preference of nights for watching games? George Gray"
