my friend bought tickets on Saturday. Bears' single game tickets went on sale at noon.

Last year, we stayed at the Monaco at the NE corner of the L-Loop. We wentr to the NHL game the night we played the bears (Kings beat the Blackhawks in OT). We tried to make it to the 1:00pm NBA game on Monday (Magic-Bulls OT game), but the crew could get rolling after an extended night on Rush St. following a bone-in ribye at Ditka's when the hockey game ended. I jokingly went "rude tourist" and grilled the hostess as to why there was no Saints memorabilia hanging on the wall amongst the bear stuff. I asked her if she even realized Ditka coached out team for 3 season's. We laughed after the fact. That was a good trip, except for the outcome of our game.
