WEST LOOP — A West Loop bar is turning to technology to make sure Hawks fans can perfectly time their last beer before hopping a shuttle to head to the game.
Ahead of the Blackhawks home games next week, WestEnd is launching a free online shuttle tracker that maps the exact location of the shuttle bus on its route between the bar and the United Center. The sports bar, 1326 W. Madison St., offers a free to shuttle to games.
WestEnd also plans to show the bus tracker on some TV screens in the bar before games.
The shuttle tracker, available at westendwestloop.com/bus, was made in partnership with West Loop-based mobile app developers Ora Interactive.
After kicking off the Stanley Cup finals with games Wednesday and Saturday in Tampa, the Hawks will be back at the United Center Monday and Wednesday to take on the Lightning.
