[1 Mar 2010 | No Comment | ]

For the first time since January 11, the Chicago Bulls are home on a Monday night. They host the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center starting at 7 pm tonight. Tickets to the game should be cheap so wait to buy outside of the arena rather than purchasing from StubHub.
If you want to see the Connecticut women’s basketball team continue on their undefeated season (they are two wins short of their previous Division I record of 70 consecutive wins), drive over to South Bend, IN to see them …

There really is not much taking place in Chicagoland or Milwaukee today. Your best bet is to attend the AHL game at Allstate Arena between the Chicago Wolves and the Rockford IceHogs.
Other than that you could watch the Northwestern women’s basketball team host Illinois at Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Not much is taking place in Chicagoland tonight. If you have to attend a game, I would recommend either the UIC Flames (1:00 pm tip off) or Loyola Ramblers (3:00 pm tip off) men’s basketball games.
Another option is to attend the DePaul women’s basketball game at 7:00 pm tonight. McGrath Arena is in a great area of Chicago and will give you a lot of pre-game or post-game dining options.

Your best bet tonight is to attend the Chicago Bulls game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Since the Bulls are playing Portland, tickets should be available and cheap outside of the United Center tonight.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls are both home tonight. Both games should be easy and cheap to get into. The “get in” price for tonight’s Bulls game is currently $10 and $8 for the Bucks game on StubHub – but only use StubHub as a guide since their pricey add on fees more than doubles the cost of your ticket.
Last week I bought seats for Bulls games in section 103 for $30 and section 104 for $40 on Madison Ave. outside of the United Center. Currently, …

All week I planned to attend the Indianapolis Colts AFC Divisional Playoff game versus the Baltimore Ravens. Since that game did not start until 8:15 ET I wondered if there was another game I could attend earlier in the day. There was. The Pacers game had been rescheduled to 6 pm because of the playoff game at Lucas Oil Stadium. However, I knew that NBA games normally last between 2 hours and 15 minutes and 2 hours and 30 minutes. Thus, I did not think …
