Chicago Football Classic Tailgate @ Soldier Field South Lot

Join us to tailgate ahead of the Chicago Football Classic in the South Lot of historic Soldier Field! Sponsored in part by Morehouse College National Alumni Association!

If you want to ensure you are parked with the group, a caravan will leave Mariano's Parking lot (16th and Clark) at 10:15 AM to claim a section in the Soldier Field South Lot. Catered by Windy City Ribs and Whiskey until exhausted. BYOB. Bring something to share.
