  • Thanksgiving Weekend

    There is a chance I will be back in the midwest over the Thanksgiving weekend. Who can give me info on the Bradley games on Friday and Saturday. Where is Hoffman Estates, Ill? Will tickets be hard to get? And they'll most likely play the Illini?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hoffman Estates is in suburban Chicago, about 25-30 miles northwest of downtown. Very nice area.

      Game 1: Bradley plays Rutgers on Friday night at 5pm
      Game 2: Illinois vs Miami (OH), right after that, at 7:30 pm
      G3: The loserG1 vs loserG2 matchup, Saturday, 5pm
      G4: The winnerG1 vs winnerG2 matchup, Saturday, 7:30pm

      So BU will play Illinois if they both have the same outcome on Friday.

      The biggest city by Hoffman Estates would probably be Elgin. HE is just a few miles east of Elgin.

        Mike-
        Hoffman Estates is not far from O'Hare airport if you would be coming into Chicago there. Here is a link to an interactive map that shows the proximity--

          Schaumburg is closer to Hoffman Estates than Elgin. Woodfield Mall, and several hotels are in that area.
          Onward and Upward!

            I stayed in Schaumburg last year when BU played DePaul. There are several hotels to choose from, with the Hyatt directly across Golf Rd. from Woodfield Mall as my personal favorite.

            Many good restaurants in the area to choose from as well.

              Illinois Rivals has an article about all the teams in the tourney and the matchups, and has a bit of mention on Bradley.
              "BRADLEY- The Braves are coming off one of its finest seasons in school history after advancing to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Coach Jim Les and the Braves look to rebuild with one returning starter. Bradley's 2006 record was 22-11."
