I've been to both places.

Kirkwoods has a nice outdoor area with tv's but no sound. Also, one half the bar is setup for Indiana fans which it looks like they have a 6pm game this week too. This place gets really crowded, so if you want a seat get there really early.

Birds Nest is a good place to watch the game and like haymarkethomer stated it is a smaller place. You will have an easier time getting a seat at this place compared to Kirkwoods.

A new place I went to for the first game is called Beckett's Public House, http://beckettschicago.com/. Good size bar and they too play the Husker fight song and have some pretty good beer prices. The next tv game I can make it to I will be heading back to this place.

Going with a group of friends and family. I think we are going to hit up the Mariners game on Friday night but not sure where to "tailgate" before the game. Any ideas?

Post #3...I'm on a roll!

I was wondering the same thing. A group of us are flying in for the game and are trying to figure out a tailgate or even a good bar to hit up close to the stadium. We tried to get on a boat but were too late. Anyone on the board have any insight on where to party with fellow Huskers before the game?

I usually spend my time just reading all the great info from the board but decided it was time to get in my first post.

Good question. Anybody going to this place 10/7?
