So I now have my ticket in hand.... and the game is only days away!! Who's excited!?!?
Uh huh.. thought so. SO even after all the crazy warm weather this past weekend, the ice is taking shape and being monitored to be ready for game day. I know the blackhawks are coming in off of a franchise record winning streak, and the wings are kind of struggling, but I'm hoping for a good match-up!

WINTER CLASSIC HERE I COME!
That's right, I splurged! Combining my football winnings and my christmas bonus from Segal I found a ticket on Craigslist for $325. So nothing came out of my budget! Can't beat that!! I'm super excited and can't wait to bundle up and be part of this once in a lifetime Hockey at Wrigley, my team in my new city. It will be fabulous!
Check out this story on the prep going on at Wrigley! Below is an artists rendering of what it will look like... my seat is going to be in Sec 115 which is between 3rd and home on the baseball field.

My first season as a Bears Fan
So when I moved here, my NFL fandom was up for grabs... the Lions never won my heart, so alas I now root for da bears! And once this decision was made, it became a quest. A quest to fit in amongst the Chicagoans, and the guys at work. There is no way I could just claim to be a Bears fan, I had to show it: learn, watch, play.
So I've learned - players and history, and even watched the superbowl shuffle on youtube. And next year, I might even go to the Football 101 class to get a first hand and behind the scenes look at the team and Soldier Field.
I've watched all the games I could and even developed a new routine with my halftime nap time after church on sundays :)
And I've played - in the Bears squares pool for $5 bucks a week and even managed my own fantasy team with the guys at work for fun.
All in all, it's been a fun first season as a fan. The Bears are 8-6 thus far, my fantasy team made it to the playoffs at 9-5, and I cashed in big tonight with winning the squares pool of $250. Not bad, huh? So I'm going to take my winnings to invest in some bears gear, and make it official. I am a fan of DA BEARS!
