    Heh me too only night 1, flying out at 6am Monday to go straight to work in Boston (FUN). Wish I could have gone to Monday now I haven't checked the weather this much since I lived in FL during hurricanes. :anguished:

    Chicago weather is so erratic and hard to predict. Today on my way to work the weather app (Wunderground) said cloudy with rain. I'm sitting in my office in downtown Chicago right now with sunny skies and very few clouds. There is still hope. The worst thing that happens is it's a delay like 2013. Here's hoping...
    Cincinnati 00'
    Cleveland 03'
    Pittsburgh 03'
    Cincinnati 06'
    Chicago 08' (EV Into the Wild 1 & 2)
    Chicago 09' (1 & 2)
    Chicago 11' (EV Uke 1 & 2)
    East Troy 11' (PJ20 1 & 2)
    Chicago 13' (Wrigley)
    Brooklyn 13' (1 & 2)
    Moline 14' (No Code)
    Milwaukee 14' (Yield)
    Chicago 16" (Wrigley 1 & 2)

    historically for summer storms etc.. is one airport better than the other for flying into town day of?

    thanks

    I would take Midway all day over Ohare. Hop on the orange line at Midway, transfer to the red at Roosevelt, get off at addison...done
    Summer storms or not... I flew through Ohare once and it was the worst airport experience I ever had. I decided never again after that trip and have only used Midway for the 4 trips I've taken to Chicago since.

    peeps, please remember than flights get delayed and cancelled. It might be smarter to fly to an airport with more daily flights from your home area in case your selected flight gets cancelled.

    Midway orange
    Ohare blue
    Both train rides away.
    Midway is the easier of the two airports hands down.

    I had a perfectly fine experience at O'Hare, although I did find it a little bit difficult to find where I wanted to go. I basically got lost, lol. But besides that... I guess I got lucky!

    A train ride away??? Where are you getting off at? Addison Blue and walking over three miles east? Or worse yet, taking the bus

    We all survived Alpine Valley with no problems, it was really only the first day of heavy rain. If what we get at wrigley this year the same as PJ20 we will be fine, and the night will still be epic.

    Were you in the lawn night 1? Because we barely survived. Literally had to have everyone hold you up as you walked across from the aisles. So people were just peeing in the lawn and I ended up losing the 2 people i went with by showtime because they couldnt make it back. Alpine 1 was actually worse because wrigley our seats were under the upperdeck.

    I was lawn night 2 with reserved seats night 1. I never really heard any horror stories about lawn night 1 until now. I guess your experience wasn't the best. Our lawn night 2 was smooth with no complaints except for a couple of drunk evenbros next to us. Hopefully our Wrigley experience will be nothing like that or even anything like 2013. Everything so far has been saying skies clearing up by showtime. Fingers crossed.

    Lol. OH NO! THE BUS!! ..... It's not exactly hard.
    Of course, you can take a shuttle from the airport directly to whatever hotel you're staying in for around $24. They drive around dropping people off. Pretty simple, and often fun if you get a good group of people in your shuttle.

    I would not chance it on the Kennedy on show day when you have 42000 people trying to get to the same place on an already overly congested cluster of an expressway. Maybe you can make the second set

    Yes, you can get to Wrigley from O'Hare. I can also get to my tonsils through my asshole, but it's not the preferred route.

    The latest from the Severe Storm Forecast Center out of OKC:
    Have much higher confidence in widespread showers and storms
    Saturday as the cold front and associated low move through the
    region. Thunderstorm coverage will increase from the mid morning
    onward. CAPE and shear values are low so not expecting widespread
    severe weather. However stronger storms may produce gusty winds.
    PWATS will be around 1.5-2 inches so all storms will likely produce
    heavy rain, but storms should be moving quick enough that flooding
    is not expected.

    locals
    historically for summer storms etc.. is one airport better than the other for flying into town day of?

    thanks

    I would take Midway all day over Ohare. Hop on the orange line at Midway, transfer to the red at Roosevelt, get off at addison...done
    gotcha thanks .. so midway is def closer.. but is there any history on one more liekly to be delayed?
    Midway is def not closer. O'hare is on the north side and also a train ride away.
    A train ride away??? Where are you getting off at? Addison Blue and walking over three miles east? Or worse yet, taking the bus
    Lol. OH NO! THE BUS!! ..... It's not exactly hard.
    Of course, you can take a shuttle from the airport directly to whatever hotel you're staying in for around $24. They drive around dropping people off. Pretty simple, and often fun if you get a good group of people in your shuttle.
    You must've never done the drive on the Kennedy in the hours of 6AM-8PM
    It was probably around 6:30pm. It took about 45 minutes.
    I would not chance it on the Kennedy on show day when you have 42000 people trying to get to the same place on an already overly congested cluster of an expressway. Maybe you can make the second set

    No, I guess not on show day. I would never arrive on show day anyhow though. I don't trust the planes to not be cancelled or re-routed or something!
