July 6th 2010 - Chicago Soldier Field

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

If I cared about sports I would so be there. Are you staying the night in Chicago? Wild made the hotel arrangements - I'm just gonna crash on her floor Wild, is there room for a gorilla in the bathtub?

I actually hadn't been planning on spending the night. My uncle and cousin are going, but we really haven't made firm plans yet. I do have to find a way to avoid those god-awful Soldier Field parking lots though.

How would one get from Midway or OHare to the hotel? I know one of the trains (orange line???) goes from OHare to downtown. Maybe I could just fly in and head to the stadium via train and y'all can come by in the evening and get me!

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

it's fully booked for night of 6th now

It's all good -- I live about 45 - 60 minutes (depending on the traffic) away. If, for some reason, I did need a hotel, it'd probably only be for the night of the 5th.

Not sure what everyone elses plans are, but I'll be landing in Chicago on the 3rd, and my aunt already has an iterary for our trip, but she knows the 6th is spoken for. The Taste of Chicago is ending the weekend before the show and they got some nice acts playing.

Or call me.

I'm actually almost positive they do.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Or call me.

Could you do that? I feel like that's asking a lot of someone.

 

[PeckU2]

They DO! They are called Vertigo

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

I'll PM you . . .

The nearest to the hotel i'm in is Roosevelt on the RED/Orange & Green lines

I'll have to get out my old maps of Chicago. When I lived there I only went down that way once, to find a bookstore. I seem to recall it not being the greatest neighborhood in the world.

Okay, now that we've completely derailed this thread... back to searching for flights.

Nice avitar, MW.

 

[ramblin rose]

Oh, and anyone know how far the Best WEstern is from the stadium - walking distance?

I stayed there in September for the shows and it is within walking distance, but for how expensive it was it was a dive. I decided to stay at the Hilton this time.

I'm flying into Midway on the 4th of July straight from the Toronto 3 show. I'll be using all of the 5th for sightseeing and tasting some of that Chicago-style deep dish pizza.

I'm staying at the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place. It's just a stop down the line from Soldier Field on the METRA Main Line.

Considering what Zooey said a few posts back- Are there any parts of that part of Chicago that I should avoid?

Oh hello there everyone.

My original plan was to take the South shore into Chicago, but it just occurred to me that I don't think it runs that late, so I am thinking I may need to pay to park at Soldier Field after all
