Yes, Vince Vaughn was sitting in the front row during Saturday’s game at the United Center, as usual.
No, President Barack Obama wasn’t there.
As for other famous Chicago sports fans, there was no sign of Evanston natives John Cusack or Jeremy Piven (apparently they were both at the same wedding in Chicago), but Cusack is expected to attend the rest of the Blackhawks’ home games in the series.
Cubs pitcher Randy Wells, sporting a Blackhawks hat and T-shirt, hit the United Center shortly after his team pounded the Cardinals at Wrigley Field.
“I’m a quiet fan,” Wells said of attending Hawks games. “I don’t like to draw attention to myself.”
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Jets coach Rex Ryan, son of former Bears assistant and Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan, also took in the game.
Ryan, as some might remember, wore a Flyers jersey to a Hurricanes-Panthers game in February before switching to a Hurricanes jersey and showing off his gut in the process.
On Saturday, Ryan wore a No. 00 Blackhawks jersey with the name “Griswold” on the back (a “Christmas Vacation” reference).
So he’s not a Flyers fan?
“I’m both,” Ryan said of the Hawks and Flyers. “But I’m actually a ( Maple Leafs) fan. Hell of a game though.”
