Updated 10/6/2015 3:26 PM
See images from the McHenry County man cave of Chicago Cubs fan Stewart McVicar. The basement features a Cubs "C"-shaped bar, Wrigley Field brickwork, authentic memorabilia, and much more. Cubs personalities Kerry Wood, Ferguson Jenkins, and Tom Ricketts are among those who have visited and signed the walls.

Cubs fan David Eagan enters Stewart McVicar's man cave dubbed "Club 400" in March. A year ago McVicar met up with Eagan at the Cubs Convention and encouraged him to get a set of Cubs body tattoos finished. "That's gonna be a pretty penny … I'm a mininum-wage worker, hundred bucks here, a hundred bucks there," Eagan recalls telling McVicar, to which McVicar replied, "That's it; I'm throwing you a fundraiser." Having dismissed the discussion as ambitious rambling, Eagan was floored when McVicar called asking for the tattoo artist's address to send a check as advance payment for the lower back work. Eagan had the work done at Club 400 during a March Madness college basketball party in 2015.
