Aurora Borealis

I'm in.

 

If the weather's nice, this would be the perfect first game for my daughter since we could probably walk there. I assume Coach House around 5?

 

That is one of the greatest teams names ever. Thanks for providing that.

However, @Ke1n, you mention "Chicago Fire legend" CJ Brown.

It shall be known, by official proclamation of the Chicago Fire Front Office, that term "Chicago Fire legend" shall forever be reserved for Logan Pause, as opposed to actual Chicago Fire legends like CJ Brown.

 

You obviously forgot about the NHL St. Louis Urinal Cakes and the NFL Green Bay Cholesterol.

 

It's a rare chance to see the Fire U-23s at a decent time.

 

I might go.

 

Aurora Borealis sounds like an exotic Burlesque dancer from the 1930s.

 

Do it.

 

The wife, the baby and I are heading to Coach House for pre-game dinner and drinks and then heading over. Say "hi" if you spot us. I'm sure, at this point, I owe the collective lot of you something like 400 beers...

 

I'll take any of the Goose Island non-alcoholic soft drinks.
They make a good root beer.

 

You got it kid

 

Aurora Borealis down 2-0 at the half. They may be out of their league. Lewandowski scored the first goal for Warta.

 

That was fun. Got to say hi to the BS member I knew. The Northern Lights didn't win, but it was fun. 2-1 loss.

BTW, @GHjelm , was that you on the north side of the stands? We thought it was you, but we weren't brave enough to ask.

 

Cool might make a trip or two sometimes just to say hello to CJ.

 

Yeah. We moved up there after realizing 10 second bursts of AC/DC at 300 decibels probably isn't good for a baby. We could be wrong though, we're new at this. [emoji1]

It was a nice relaxing game after a long work week. Also, season tickets are $40 and a coke costs a dollar. Hard to beat that.

Also, now that Matsuri closed in Geneva, I can redirect all my restaurant money at pregame beers at the Coach House. I had a really good hefeweizen last night. Church Street maybe?

 

I almost forgot about the eagle. It flew majestically 50ft up over the whole length of the field. The pair always comes back to Mooseheart, although they pick different trees every year. It became a traffic hazard when they were out by Randall a couple of years ago.

Gammon Coach House:

The food is good classic bar food. I had a really good pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato tater tots and my wife liked the Margherita Pizza. The beer is where they really distinguish themselves. The menu changes regularly:

A dollar for coke seems pretty cheap, is that by the can or the line?
Also, Is "coke" good for the baby? Coca-cola certainly is not!

 

My wife always "pumps and dumps" after a cocaine binge.

 

As it flew over the south goal Watra struck one off the bar. How often can you go to a soccer match and see a nesting pair of bald eagles in the wild and so close to banal urbania?

 

Well, to be fair, at Toyota Park, we do have raccoon and dead pigeons
(and dead hopes, dreams, ambitions and fading, flickering memories)
