I just want to announce that my video camera arrived...I expect middle fingers and boob flashes as I film the line, okay?

Don't forget to take into account the long stretches that are down to 2 lanes due to construction. Illinois state line to Wi Hwy E is rather slow going. I don't know about Illinois construction as I've always dodged the tolls by taking HWY 41 to Lakeshore Drive.
LSD is now torn up as well.
GOOD LUCK!

Thank You!

Illinois Tolls

BirdLover

How much are The Tolls

Last time I took the tollway, it was about $5 each way. Since they put in the I Pass system, they've had to have live collectors at most stations, so exact change isn't as critical. There are also Oasis which are on a bridge spanning the tollway. There you can buy gas and food so you don't have to leave and pay another toll.
Often, the tollbooths don't announce the charge until you're up close to it, so co-drivers have to stay vigilant.

I hope this helps!

Alright, got to start thinking about what to pack/bring. 75% of this weekend is going to be playing it by ear.

Safe travels all!!! The Claw awaits!!

I predict they will be staying at a hotel.

It is against forum rules to post the name of the hotel on here

I'm hoping for a pizza joint and a Starbucks near the stadium for mid-day food and caffeine fixes.

There's a McDonalds and Corner Bakery Cafe near the Field Museum.

I'll be going both days.

I don't see why you can't buy merch after the show.

There's a McDonalds and Corner Bakery Cafe near the Field Museum.

I almost want to say those are actually in the Field Museum. I know the McDonald's is.
