    It would be nice if 10 club would just go ahead and make this official. It's not like anyone is going to surprised that its Alpine Valley.

Is there any chance PJ throws a curveball and has this fest at Soldier Field? It would just be way more convenient for everybody with hotels, travel, location, etc.

    Also, from the looks of it from the 04/08/11 Walworth County Today, Alpine will allow camping this year w/75 sites limited to 6 persons a site and two cars. That just won't be enough IMO.

    Thats what i have been thinking even before the Alpine Valley rumor. Why not Soldier Field? Chicago is a big city with plenty of hotels and has a major airport so people can fly in from around the world. Don't count out Soldier Field just yet (wishful thinking Fingers, toes and testicals crossed)

    The Bears have a home preseason game that weekend(Labor Day Weekend). You can officially forget about Soldier Field. And before you suggest Wrigley Field, the Cubs are at home against the Pirates that Weekend(Labor Day Weekend)

    I agree that Soldier Field is unlikely to happen but all these reasons why hinge on the date being Labor Day. Unless I've missed something that is in no way official.

    Any spot along I-43 will be good between Milwaukee and Beloit.

    That's a great view. I'm really starting to regret the fact that I didnt jump on reserving a room at Alpine Valley Resort

    It comes with a cost though. Instead of paying 300 for a suite at AVR, I booked one for half the cost 15 miles down the road. It saves us $450 for three nights. I'm fine with that.

    Delavan will be a good spot to stay. It'll be about a 20 min trek to AV, no biggy. There's plenty of restaurants there as well as a shopping area. Where are you staying?

    And for whoever asked about the Country Inn, that's the closest hotel to the venue besides staying at Alpine. It's nice, theres just not a whole lot nearby.

    Cost wasn't an issue. It was an issue of convenience coming from Philly. Now we can walk to the venue and not have to deal with traffic.

    Yeah that is true. Luckily I will most likely have the option of a place to stay in Lake Geneva, but getting out of Alpine is a complete mess.

    Just booked the Comfort Suites in Delavan. It looks like it is in a good location along I43. Is lake Geneva a nice spot to chill since it is close?

    You can always walk over to our tailgate afterwards and grab yourself a beer ;) I'm sure we will be partying it up long after traffic dies down.

    What would be the best place to camp in terms of location, ease of access, ability to consume alcohol, possible shuttle, etc.?

    Thanks.

    Yeah LG is cool in the summer. Lots of little shops and the lake is nice to walk around. If you're into golf, Delbrook is in Delavan, nice little course and cheap. Nothing fancy.

    I was definitely planning on meeting up with people since we weren't going to have a car. I'd love to hang after. My wife's sister and her husband are flying in from Tucson and we are driving from Philly.

    I think we are gonna rent a minivan and drive from pa as well. We have 6 people so we are trying to accomodate everyone and bring enough tailgating supplies along with us.

    For the record, that will be the last time I drive a minivan! :D
