I was there as well. On a consulting gig in Oakbrook.
We worked that weekend other than during the Super Bowl. Youngest consultants had to start the rental cars at the hotel before breakfast. And had to go get take out, chips and dips, beer and whiskey for the game.
The Thursday night before, we found an open gym where we played pick up hoops with the locals. Still had a full head of hair then. When we left the gym at 9:30 pm, my sweaty hair froze solid. Took 15-20 minutes to thaw back at the hotel.
