Title: Chicagoland Coin-Op April 2018 Post by: Ross on April 03, 2018, 11:51:31 am Hi everyone,
Just curious who is going to the show this week? Haven't seen anything posted on it. Also, anyone meeting at Portillo's Thursday evening? Title: Re: Chicagoland Coin-Op April 2018 Post by: SIGNGUY on April 03, 2018, 02:35:58 pm where heading down be there Thursday afternoon.
Not going to portillos.. better food and better bar at the hotel... not the lobby bar, but inside a bit.. Title: Re: Chicagoland Coin-Op April 2018 Post by: Slider-Bob on April 03, 2018, 05:56:36 pm I’m going. I will be there Thursday and was planning on going to Portillo’s since Leonard is buying (he just doesn’t know it yet!) :laugh:

After this April Pheasant Run will no longer have the show there... Kinda sad .. How long has this show been at this location?

Prices were great and people mainly sold items that were not restored, the good old days (Pre Ebay days). Not sure of the date. Over twenty-five years is my guess.
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, in Rosemont Illinois, would be the next location, in my opinion. Biggest draw back would be no outside parking lot, but a nice huge facility. Better hotels and restaurants, beer (for impulse buys), and minutes from my home :biggrin:.

This is good news, Chicagoland is expanding! :happydrinkers: https://www.coinopclub.org/entry/the-chicagoland-gameroom-show-is-moving-in-november (https://www.coinopclub.org/entry/the-chicagoland-gameroom-show-is-moving-in-november) Title: Re: Chicagoland Coin-Op April 2018 Post by: HowDueYouDue on April 04, 2018, 08:57:10 pm Maybe November; good luck to all of those going

Either way has expressway and no downtown Chicago. I may enjoy this Novembers travels.
