I thought we were playing all of our preseason away games in Chicago. Are you telling me that isn't the case? Hm. Must be bad reporting. Or maybe it's just because all of our home games this year will be in NYC and London.

Glad to see we are getting high-profile games to offset losing the home game

We always get a lot of visiting fans from the northern cities, especially from good teams. Oh wait, Houston and Miami, nevermind.
