Millennium Park bus departure

For those who purchased a bus seat, we will send official confirmation emails by the end of next week with check-in information and details. PLEASE NOTE: OUR BUSES ARE DEPARTING FROM MILLENNIUM PARK!

http://millenniumpark.org/

If you had already planned on checking out this beautiful urban park, you are in luck. Millennium Park is conveniently located near the Loop off of Michigan Avenue. Navy Pier was unfortunately difficult to work with. And despite UCLA bringing them business, they said the cost would be $10,000 for us to stage check-in there. That's a bit steep for a club with no financial support. We think Millennium Park is a better location-and more appealing visually. We apologize if you have to greatly alter your game day arrangements because of this. Stay tuned for more details.

Bus Passenger List Finalized

Sadly, our group cannot accommodate the overwhelming demand for seats. We have just finalized the passenger list for all of our chartered buses, and we are not taking any additional names from the wait list. We are sorry to turn away any Bruins. We recommend renting a car and making the 2-hour drive.

Alternatively, United Limo (http://www.coachusa.com/tristateunitedlimo/) operates a bus service from both Chicago Airports (O'Hare and Midway) with daily service to South Bend. We are unsure if they have seats available for the 21st, but it's worth looking into.

T-shirt Delays....

Unfortunately, JanSport ran out of one of the sizes. What does this mean? Only half of our first order will come in soon. The rest of the shirts (this will cover all remaning orders) will not delivered to us until 10/9 or so. Our club will pick up the cost of postage and mail them out in time for game day. We apologize for the delays, but this is beyond our control. We have ordered additional shirts to be sold ND weekend.

Architectural Tour - ALL UCLA Boat!

There are several companies that operate tours along the river, but the ones done by the Chicago Architectural Foundation are the best with their extremely knowledgeable docents. We forgot to mention on our site that this is an all UCLA tour, Bruins only!
