ESPN 1000 Afternoon Saloon at Hollywood Stadium Sports Bar

Hollywood Casino Joliet is home to the Sept. 2 Chicago Bears FAN UP Afternoon Saloon, a four-hour live broadcast on ESPN 1000 from Hollywood Stadium Sports Bar starting at 2 p.m.  ESPN 1000 DJs Carmen DeFalco and John “Jurko” Jurkovic will break down the Bears’ performance following the final preseason game on Sept. 1 against the Cleveland Browns.

Prizes from Miller Lite, ESPN 1000 and Hollywood Casino will be given out to guests in attendance.  There is no cover charge; all ages are welcome in the dining and entertainment pavilion.

Hollywood Stadium is Chicagoland’s most exciting sports bar and entertainment venue.  It features a 1,600 square-foot video screen, more than 40 flat screen TVs and personal booth TVs. The restaurant now serves lunch from 11:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., with menu items that can be prepared in a sprint such as the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and Joliet Jake’s Chopped Salad, as well as traditionally prepared options such as pizza, wings and burgers. A comprehensive selection of fine beer includes 20 on tap, plus wine and artisan soft drinks.
