This is Man United Chicago, the latest massive supporter group.
Hello, Everyone!
I want to announce the beginning of something special–our relationship with McGee’s–to create the first Manchester United bar in Lincoln Park!
McGee’s has agreed to go all-out on its commitment to Kevin and I, presenting ALL Manchester United matches. In addition, the bar–and our fan club–will be offering Friday night Happy Hours (some completely FREE) for our group to support the team–along with trivia nights, barbecues, and other events from here forward.
There will be an authentic atmosphere–with United songs, videos, banners, flags, and a feel that the Red Devils enjoy just like across the pond.
There is no better time to start our relationship with McGee’s than to air the match against United’s arch rivals, Liverpool, on September 12. The action starts at the bar come 11 am!
We ask just a few things:
1- If you can come out September 12th to support us, Kevin and I would be forever grateful! We have a ton of people expected, as well has some surprises planned (in conjunction with McGee’s). Ask ANYONE you’d like to join in–for ALL are welcome!
2- As you all being great friends, we would love if you can make it whenever you’re free on the weekends to watch–or just want to have a good time starting your weekend days! We are putting a ton of effort into this, and we cherish your help! There will be good drink prices to boot!
3- Please follow us on the following if you can:

Thank you so very much, everyone! We are so excited to share this with you and hope you can make it on the 12th! Whether it’s for the football–or just some fun, come out for Manchester United and the atmosphere, as we plan for a party feel every match!
