Every NCAA Football Team-Affiliated Bar in Chicago
Bust out your team sweatshirt, jogging pants, visor, and license plate frame, 'cause college football is back. OK, now put on all that stuff and head to your appropriate college team-affiliated Chicago bar, which we've conveniently listed out for every FBS team below.
Oh, and if your team doesn't have a bar listed on here, it's probably because it doesn't exist, or your alumni club only announced it with that letter asking for donations. If you've got one we missed, feel free to drop it in the comments (unless you went to Washington State, in which case, keep it to yourself).
