All right, it is Saturday.

It is one day before the game.

I have some spare time, so I am packing.

I'm only going to be in Chicago for one day, day and a half at most.

We're going Sunday morning.

Someone's coming to watch our kids.

And then going downtown, we have the tailgate near the Field Museum. There's tailgating on both

of the first game, walk over to the tailgate, and then walk over to the game.

Got to try and not make the same mistake that I made when I went in 2018 to the Bears football game where you're just excited at the tailgate, like you're trying

to finish a beer, and you're like, well, the stadium is literally right there. I can see it. It's,
