Anyone know the policy on selfie sticks? Has anyone tried getting into a game with one?

I'd like to bring my insta360 so I can capture all the "Fire Nagy" chants in 360 degrees of glory but the camera requires one of one of those retractable selfie sticks to function properly. Their guide (A-Z Guide | Chicago Bears Official Website) doesn't specifically mention them not being allowed but I wouldn't be shocked if they shut me down at the door... Should I bother bringing it with me or nah?

Also, any suggestions on must-stop places for food would be greatly appreciated...

What’s your budget and are you looking for places anywhere downtown or just nearby the stadium?

This trip was a surprise gift from my brothers so I've been given no details other than my plane ticket info. Not really concerned with budget as I am being able to veto any terrible ideas my brothers may have while we're there and be able to suggest better alternatives. I'm guessing we'll be in a hotel near the stadium so basically anything within Uber range.

Harry Carey’s is a nostalgic place, great steaks

I try and hit Bavettes once a year that’s a must-go for me in Chicago.

If you’re looking for something more lunchy I’m a huge fan of Ricobenes on 26th.

Nearish the stadium I like Cindy’s rooftop for a nice but not swank dinner and beers.

If wives are on the trip I also recommend getting hammered at three dots and a dash after dinner.

I second bavettes but i always have to book months in advance. They accept walk ins if someone cancels a reservation though and are worth it even if you just eat at the bar

3 dots and a dash is badass.

Just look at the options in the West Loop. Too many excellent restaurants to list…

My wife and I love Lena Brava.

I'll add that if you go to Ricobene's, get the Italian Breaded Steak Sandwich. Best in the city in my opinion.

Another good lunch spot: Manny's for sandwiches. Menus — Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen
