Title: Re: July 1st, 2016 - Chicago, IL @ Soldier Field Post by: Alan on May 02, 2016, 08:15:14 AM not sure how many people like me are from outside Chicago, but the city has a shit ton of cool stuff to do, so anyone making a trip out of it might find this useful.
Transport to Soldier: Trains Red, Green and Orange Lines The stadium is a few blocks east of the Roosevelt stops on the CTA Red, Orange and Green Lines (about a 15 minute walk or a short bus ride). You can walk from the ?L? stops by heading east on Roosevelt Road from State Street until you cross Columbus. To your left will be a walkway that gently slopes down through the Museum Campus to a pedestrian underpass to get to the other side of Lake Shore Drive. Then, turn right to head south past the Field Museum and on to Soldier Field. http://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/maps/L_Map_March_2016_s_full.pdf - first stop out of the loop going South Tourist stuff: https://www.seadogcruises.com/chicago - departs from Navy Pier http://www.sheddaquarium.org/ https://www.signatureroom.com/lounge/ - 96th floor of the John Hancock Center http://theskydeck.com/ - sears tower Music: http://www.chicagobluesbar.com/ http://buddyguy.com/calendar.cfm Sport: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/schedule/ Food: http://www.ginoseast.com/ http://buddyguy.com/Menu https://www.ribs.com/chicago - carson's http://www.alsbeef.com/ if some of the Chicago natives would be so kind as to add to this list i'd appreciate it Title: Re: July 1st, 2016 - Chicago, IL @ Soldier Field Post by: jarmo on May 18, 2016, 12:22:37 PM Alice In Chains will open both Chicago shows.

My wife and I will be staying at The Omni that weekend if anyone wants to meet up before either of the shows. Def Leppard and Tesla are playing Tinley Park on the second (which would've been my choice for the middle day) but my wife isn't a huge concert chick anyway - so we're doing Blue Man Group at Briar Street Theater at 8pm on the 2nd. Front row/center (wish my Guns tickets were that good!). Tickets for that are still available too, and if you use promo code SKYDECK at ticketmaster, you get free Skydeck Chicago tickets. So we'll be checking at the Sears Tower at some point over the weekend too. Riding in on an Amtrak from Galesburg on Friday morning and leaving town Monday morning. Looking forward to good pizza, killer shows, and great July weather in The Windy City. Last time I saw Guns was at House of Blues from the balcony over DJ. Good show - but I'm fucking pumped that it's finally the real deal. Hit me up if you want to meet up for sight seeing, dinner, or off day debauchery. Oh yeah, and Kuma's Korner is a must.

For the out-of-towners, do yourself a favor and enjoy the city. Lots will be going on for the weekend of the 4th Title: Re: July 1st, 2016 - Chicago, IL @ Soldier Field Post by: Alan on June 09, 2016, 03:52:04 AM not sure how many people like me are from outside Chicago, but the city has a shit ton of cool stuff to do, so anyone making a trip out of it might find this useful.

I forgot about Kuma's I did hit that place last time I went damn good burgers with huge portions |
