Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Live from Cincy?

I was sorely tempted to make the 4-5 hour drive today, but a late night last night, AAA lineup today and likelihood of going to the NLDS games last week kept me from doing so. Now, seeing how Cubs fans basically overran Cincinnati, I kinda wish I had gone.

Anybody down there who's reading this have any reports? What is the atmosphere like in town, at the ballpark? Cubs fans all over the place? I'm sure the local baseball fans aren't too pleased, but the local hotel/bar/restaurant people must be head over heels.

For those who celebrated at the Westin last night (the Cubs hotel in Cincy), how was that?

There are THOUSANDS of Cub fans here!!!
It may be more Cub fans that have been here at any one time, EVER. Everywhere, at all the local pubs and restaurants. Everywhere you go, you walk by people wearing Cubs garb.

Tons of fun, even though today's game was a glorified exhibition game and so will tomorrow's.

At the ballpark, it's been like a home game. The park was at least 2/3 Cub fans, both days, and I expect the same tomorrow.
