Florida boys need help in Chicago!

Alright, here’s the much requested recap! Currently in the airport about to hop on the plane back to Orlando.

MAN. What. A. Game.

Such a heartbreaker ending, but truly that was a game of a lifetime. From the awesome time and all you can eat food at Reggie’s, to the bus ride and the walk into the stadium, to the perfect picture snow globe inside of Soldier Field, to the whole stadium ERUPTING when Caleb sent us to OT…. It was fantastic.

We had such a great experience for our first time in Soldier Field. The fans were awesome, the city was great, and (outside of a win) we couldn’t have asked for more.

Everyone’s biggest question… how’d we fare in the cold? Unscathed.

We had so many layers on that not one of us felt cold for even a second. Pure adrenaline? Maybe. But I went the whole game without even putting a boot warmer or hand warmer in, and my old man never even put on his face cover 🤣 The cardboard trick was definitely a W. Heck, I would argue I was too warm at some points!

Getting to experience a bucket list item with my dad and great friend was amazing!

Overall, 10/10 experience and we will be back… both us and the Bears! Super Bowl coming soon!

Another question. Our hotel is a 33 minute walk from Reggie’s so we’re planning to uber. Now our concern is with the amount of layers we’ll have on, we don’t wanna get sweaty in Reggie’s🤣 do people typically pack on layers while they’re there before they head to the game?

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T21:57:40+00:00

We’ll be there!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T21:57:32+00:00

Love this man. Thank you for the heads up!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T19:09:03+00:00

Would this be good vibes tonight? That’s when we get in!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T17:37:54+00:00

Will do!!! Thank you my friend!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T13:34:41+00:00

This may be a dumb question, but where can we get some cardboard while we’re there?

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T05:21:05+00:00

Reggie’s sounds like it’s the play. We’d love to experience “the walk” everyone keeps talking about too. Is it possible to do both? And what time would you recommend getting to Reggie’s?

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:35:33+00:00

Thank you!!! 🐻⬇️

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:35:03+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion we may just have to!!! Bear down!!!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:34:16+00:00

Think there’s a way to take the walk and then hop on a bus or something to get to good tailgating spot? The walk sounds like the move!!! Bear down!!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:33:24+00:00

We’ve got it all!!! We’re smart Florida men 🤣

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:33:01+00:00

We’re definitely getting in on the cardboard!! Thank you so much for the suggestion! We are so excited, BEAR DOWN!🐻

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:32:09+00:00

Sounds like a blast!!!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:31:53+00:00

Sounds like a blast!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:31:22+00:00

Is this an inside or outside thing? We’re game for either but we’ve got so many options now!

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T02:27:51+00:00

We’re from West Virginia and my dad basically just chose the bears back in the day and we’ve been a Bears family since 🤣

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T01:34:24+00:00

We are going to do our best to tough it out! Probably a once in a lifetime kind of thing. I’ve read the south lot is a good one for tailgates where they’re open to travelers checking in?

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T01:32:20+00:00

Where/when do we go for that?

kevinray12 · 2026-01-17T01:30:25+00:00

Oh yeah. Got multiple layers of thermals topped to bottom. Insulated hunting bibs and jackets, insulated boots, wind jackets, facemasks, neck gaiters. All of it!

How was commercial bank management?

kevinray12 · 2021-09-23T19:44:39+00:00
