A gathering of Parrotheads would be preferable to just hanging w/ normal people... So maybe we could utilize this forum and other social media to organize something? I don't want that much organization in my life... :lol: My wife and I are traveling all the way in from Brookfield! So we are staying...

The venue posted the following on their FB page..

There will be tailgating on the roof of the Walden Deck and the south lot of Soldier Field.

And also...

The lawn will have a slight elevation

Good luck everyone trying for tix today!

Some more info in this blog post on the Sun-Times site... http://blogs.suntimes.com/music/2013/03/northerly_island_concert_venue_charter_one_pavilion_expansion.html We will increase the pedestrian walkway up Lynn White Drive, giving half of the boulevard over to pedestrians, and we'll increase our [...

I might be in the minority...but I'm more excited about the chance of there being a beach party than if/where there will be tailgating.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that the Taste of Chicago is going on that week. If so, good luck getting there, remember, there is only one way in, I55, all the other highways flow into 55. Have fun trying to get a room also if the Taste is going on. The hotels have already been put on alert due to the fact...

Personally, I LOVE the idea! Right by Burnham Harbor...Can't think of a more scenic venue to see Jimmy in Chicagoland. You have the Chicago skyline, the lake with all the boats bobbing around... Sure it might be pricey...but what isn't these days? Toyota Park was great for tailgating (and close to o...

We are in...Jackson Browne is playing Ravinia on the 26th...fingers crossed he will be added to the bill for the Jimmy's show

We were in Falmouth last year and they had a store selling Margaritaville tshirts, caps etc. It looked like they had just threw something up to have foothold while the Falmouth dock area was being built.
