Anyone know of bars near the stadium opening early for pregame?

Best guess.

There's a Boomer Jacks and a Blue Mesa in Lincoln Square. That is not too far from the stadium.

J. Gilligan's...they have a shuttle van to and from the stadium.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm hoping these places will open early for the 11AM game. So far the listed hours say open at 11AM.

Maybe a place in Lincoln square off of 30.

J Gillian's. Awesome Irish nachos. Shuttle bus also.

You're better off just in the stadium parking lot

This. The stadium is far enough away from everything that there really is no point to pregaming at a restaurant with the game being at 11am. Just get yourself a cooler and tailgate in the lot. You'll save a lot of time and money.

Lol this

sliced potatoes instead of chips

I am telling you J. Gilligan's is the ticket. I've been to several games at Jerry World and have always gone to this sports bar and ridden the shuttle van over ($5.00). It's perfect and unless you are tailgating it's by far better than just parking at the stadium and it's much less expensive.

I will say I know someone who does that. I already have other arrangements for this Saturday.

I used to hang out there back when I went to UT-Cooper Street (UTA). I knew the owner Randy then, think he still has the place. He is a good guy. Saw something on the Food Network about the Irish Nachos a few years ago, Randy was interviewed.

In the old days, it was a very cool little hideaway type place. Not many knew of it when it got started.

Our tailgate starts at 6 am

Well, they have to let the Arkie players out of their overnight jail cells for the warm up, so yeah.
