ESPN Zone to close in Chicago!!
http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-espn-zone-chicago-closing-june08,0,7262211.story


This really saddens me, very much disappointed , i love this place! Hopefully, they can replace it with something just as entertaining.

That sucks, we had one of our first company outings there when I worked at CDW. The only adult arcade-style place we got left is Dave and Buster's.

If they were the only game in town, I'd be disappointed. But with countless home-bred sports bars in this town ranging from corner dives to exposed-brick post-frat hangouts, I have to say I'm not too sad to see it go.

I think a place like this would be perfect for a town like Indianapolis.

It most likely is in a town like Indianapolis.


Loved this place back in the 90's for pop-a-shot. Time limit use to be 2 minutes, now all machines are set for 1 minute.

Many fond memories of going to the ESPN Zone, sad to see it go to be honest.

At least Chicago still has Dave and Busters....try the eat and play combo, great food and great deal.

while dave and busters is cool to go to, reasonable drinks, get drunk and play soul calibur, their food i have to disagree is straight up nasty. I'd rather eat before I got there.
