Hi,
I am attending the Milwaukee show from out of town. I got round trip airfare to chicago for under 100 bucks and booked it since I know Milwaukee isn't a far drive. I was wondering if there are any cheap options (trains, bus, etc) to get from Chicago to Milwaukee. I would rent a car, but I am under 25 and it is crazy expensive. Can any Chicago folk give me some advice? Thanks
Additional info: My flight gets into OHare at 11:30 AM Monday and departs Tuesday morning from Midway at 6:00 AM (planning on heading back to airport after show and spending night in airport)

I also fly in and out of Midway a lot for work. The place can be an absolute mess...
With your tight schedule, I, myself would look into rerouting the flight to Milwaukee. Less of a headache
But if you're on time, you should try the train.

Ohare - take the CTA Blue line to downtown to catch the Amtrak mentioned.
After the show - Amtrak back to downtown, then CTA Orange line to Midway.
