I noticed quite a few 11W posters both here and on other sites mentioning that they will be attending the game in Evanston, IL versus Northwestern. If you are unfamiliar with the area, I would highly recommend checking out this tailgating event being put on by The Ohio State Alumni Club of Chicago. These folks have done tremendous work in putting on watch parties, tailgating parties, etc. in the past - and they are always incredibly inclusive if it is your first time visiting.
I just wanted to share the information, in case others may be looking to "pre-game" with fellow Buckeyes.
If you are not planning on attending but are getting together elsewhere, feel free to share that information in this thread as well! No Buckeye should be eating or drinking alone (unless that's what you want, of course)!
I am in no way affiliated with this Alumni Club - I have only had the chance to attend their events in the past and have always had a blast.
