09-21-08: TGN Chicago - FAQ's, Schedule, Hotel Selections, Prize Info,
Attendance for the TGN Chicago Brawl, set for Saturday October 4th., is seeing a non-stop surge. Is Chicago, and the rest of the Mid-West, proving to be the hottest spot for Gamers in the U.S.? It's highly possible as registration has almost reached the maximum level (and surpassed our own probable projections.) To better accomodate the event, we have made a few changes.
Location is Everything!
Although the Navy Pier was our original venue location, TGN's Chicago Brawl has been moved to:
The Oaks Conference Center
300 S. Frontage Road
Burr Ridge, IL 60527

(Take the Subway Downtown: For those traveling by rail, there are Metra Stations located near the above location.)
Where's a Hotel?
Players can reserve a room through The Oaks Hotel & Conference Center for the rate of $99/ night. The reservations must be made through the Hotel and not The Gaming Nation. (Search for more Hotels in the surrounding area).
