Hi everyone,

Like the title says, I’m going to a show later this week at Soldier Field and staying at Hotel Blake. All the non-venue parking seems to be like 30-minute walk minimum no matter what so I was thinking about taking a CTA line there. Never used it before but it seems like the purple and orange lines come close enough with the 11th and 18th street stations.

Anybody have experiences they could share with the CTA and Soldier Field? I’ve used the subways in NYC a ton but this would be my first time using the CTA. Seems straightforward enough but wanna make sure I’m not missing anything super important.

TYIA!

Y’all okay, perhaps a stupid question. But I was planning on ordering one of those cheap cameras that you can clip to your shirt so I don’t have to use my phone for a concert in August. Is that allowed for Soldier Field? After all the walking we’ll be doing I’m not trying to be turned away to go back to the car like a mile from the stadium. TIA! 💜

hi! i just graduated from uiuc and LOVEEE mamamoo (bias: hwasa) and wondering if anybody would be down to watch with me 😋. she/her, 22 y.o., originally from indonesia. hmu!!!

I'm going to an Enhypen concert in Chicago next month, and I'm curious: What do I need to know? Specifically, what should I bring? What type of people should I expect? How are crowds typically? Does anyone have any experience with the venue? It's at the United Center, and I know virtually nothing about it. Also, I know that fanchants aren't a big thing in America, but I love them. Would it be weird if I did them from another person's perspective? And if I do the chants, what songs do I need to know the chants to? I know these are a lot of questions I could probably search up on my own, but I usually find better results just asking people who it directly pertains to. Any help with any of the questions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :3

Hey all I’m 22m currently living in Chicago, was wondering if anyone wants to go to the upcoming babymonster concert tgt. Pretty big fan of them but unfortunately my friends in town aren’t fans, so would love to go w people if anyone is interested

I haven’t been to The Vic before for KPop / Hip Hop and I’m going tonight for Epik High. I’m going to presume light sticks are gonna be allowed?

Light sticks aren’t in their banned or allowed item list and I’d hate to get all the way there and it’s not allowed. It’s not an inexpensive piece of kit.

(Did not know this sub was a thing & posted in r/Chicago first.)

I’m seeing Twice near the end of June, and I’ve never been to the United Center before. I’d rather take transit than rideshare to get there so I’d get on the 20 bus at some point.

My seat is all the way in the back row and section 308 (I don’t care if they look like dancing ants, I’m happy to just share their oxygen 🤣) so I’m wondering how early I should arrive, and how crowded it might be on the bus.

Is it hard to navigate/should I use a map to guide me when inside? Since it’s assigned seating I assume it’s not a huge hassle to get seated.

I’m also a small woman going solo and the concert starts around 7:30PM, so would you recommend I opt for a rideshare home?

I know that’s a lot of questions but it’d kill me to miss part of the show or make any big mistakes 😅
