I believe that's where the IKEA is, right? Haha that is my point of reference to that place and the only time I ever was in Schaumburg. I believe that was back in the early 2000s.

Skate America to be in Chicago area (Hoffman Estates, IL) Oct. 24-26
- Thread starter Mrs. P
- Start date

That is a long wait. They usually announce the lineups the first week of June.
I'm sure Phil has already applied for his passport! He lives in Evanston, I believe, not Chicago.
You're right. Also ISU Congress is in Dublin on June 9-13, so I'm not sure why they would delay it until June 27?
For sure! And maybe a bit of good natured rehashing of the events over any one of the superb dinners on offer in Chicago-land. Gawd, I can't keep food out of anything
You and Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
I love this idea.
tell me what kind of food you like and i can provide a (very extensive) list of available food opportunities.
Eataly!!!
I am so thankful to hear the USFS has accommodated many hardcore college football fans.
The tickets will likely go on sale shortly after the lineups are announced in June. The price depends on where you sit.....When I went in 2012, they charged $365 (plus fees and taxes) for the VIP all-event pass that gave you access to a lounge and some other perks (plus nice seats, of course), but you can get all-event tickets for much less....

Thanks Mrs. P, that actually would be doable since I would not have to fly anywhere and I would get to sleep at home. Sounds like a late BD or early Christmas gift LOL
Sounds like a plan.
I sprung for the VIP tickets last time since I didn't have to fly. I probably won't spurge so much this time, if I go, since I would have to pay for plane tickets/rental car.

Woot--already got permission from hubster! Not that I need it, but, you know...
I'm sure it'll be easier to track down good eats closer to the time. And tickets conveniently go on sale around my birthday :yay:

Still working on mine.
Penciling out costs and seeing if I want to trade a half-marathon in the Olympic peninsula for this...I am so thankful to hear the USFS has accommodated many hardcore college football fans.
It's about time USFS got something right in Sloopy's world. Although I'm sure there will be someone who isn't going to be happy because their favorite college team is playing on that weekend. What would have been even better, and probably would have made may heart explode with excitement, would have been if the Buckeyes were playing a noon game against the Wildcats in Evanston on that Saturday. Football in the afternoon, figure skating in the evening.

I was SO excited to see this headline (I grew up in the area), but calling this suburb Chicago is really pushing it. I'd love to go, but with my parents living in the actual city, I imagine this isn't realistic or do-able without a public transit option.

Yikes, tough choice! But if you go with the half-marathon, the gs folks on the ground will keep you well informed

Yeah, it's like in 2012 when they said it was in Seattle and it was in a suburb about 20 miles away.

Uh, it's NOT noon here in Chicago land for early BT kickoffs. That would be an 11AM kickoff. The Western Division is Central Time (minus the Indiana team in our division). Also, if my 'Cats get their mojo back this season, that would have been another night game or at the very least a 2:30.
As it is, my 'Cats are on a bye week that weekend. WOOT! I've already cleared it with Mr. mskater and I might (just might, if he doesn't pick that weekend for a fall marathon) just drag him to this as well. Coach #1 and I talked about it this morning and are considering volunteering.

If you book plane tix, make sure you also check Milwaukee and Rockford as Milwaukee is a little over an hour from HE and Rockford about the same and both are quite reasonable for getting out of (TSA, etc)
Ooohhh good idea! I interned in Milwaukee one summer and went to Chicago a lot.
Mr. P's never been to Chicago, so looking forward to introducing him to some of my fave places (when we're not in the burbs, of course)....it's been six years since I've been there last!

Haha, it would be sort of fun to run a race while I"m over there, but that that would be overkill...
