September 1, 201312 yr comment_124425 What's everyone doing for opening day? Looking for gameday rituals/ drink of choice for Bears games/ food you make for game time. Ill start: Starting Friday ill prepare about 9 slabs of Baby Back with a rub past down from my old man. Saturday ill smoke them for about 6 to 7 hours. Saturday night I pack everything and prepare everything else. Coolers will have about 8 to 10 cases of beer, Coors light and miller lite, bottle of Jameson and vodka. Sunday morning meet at my house with my best friend and two bros. get to stadium at 8. Set up shop and the rest if the crew starts to show up around 815. Opening day will Entail too much food and too much booze. Head in around 11:15 to 11:30. Then it's game time! Need some good idea's for tailgating food. Things I can prepare sat night and either open and serve or throw on the grill at the stadium to heat. Report

The only good idea I have for you is to invite me to your tailgate party the next time I make it to Chicago for a game. I don't know how to cook but I do know how to drink and I promise to bring a bottle of Crown Royal Reserve which is what we toasted with prior to heading to the stadium last October (Seattle game).

I will be asleep by the time the Bears start up their game, here in the UK game rituals are out the window, so will content myself to getting up early Monday, reading the reviews, and studying the game on Game Pass, which is a great new addition for me so am looking forward to that! Going to check out Exhibition Game 3 again here in a minute, game 4 was too full of backups for me.... Report

September 3, 201312 yr comment_124539 I'll be at home so it'll be subdued. The morning will start with a Bloody Mary to be certain. Something will end up on the grill. MadLith definitely gave me some ideas! Report
September 3, 201312 yr comment_124541 Ha! It turns every Sunday into a vacation day! Good deal! Labas! There's something in the old blood! Both my grandmas lived right around 90+. I got the kuldunai recipe handed down... But I cheat now and use wonton wrappers. One grandma would be pleased at my ingenuity, the other would hit me upside the head for scrappin' tradition!

Some of the players and players wives will be making some other goodies. Half time will be rookie hazing time haha gonna freak some newbies up. Report

September 4, 201312 yr comment_124587 Seattle? October? My bad ....beer and typing don't always yield good results. It was December but it was almost 70 degrees and we had to leave jackets in the car before heading into the game. Felt more like October so I still can't accept that I was at Soldier Field in December with no jacket, gloves, or hat. That did make it easier to handle the shot glasses at the tailgate party. Report

September 4, 201312 yr comment_124598 No beer? Brats? Although, the simplicity of your ritual ends the way it should! Nope. I park relatively far from the stadium so it's a nice walk. I may get a hot dog or brat in the game. Report
