We are from central Illinois so have about a 2 hour drive. Much to my surprise there isn't a place to stay anywhere close by. I have already learned quite a bit and next year I will be prepared.
What is the restroom situation when tailgating? Don't laugh, I'm female and it is a concern with the drinks flowing. Of course with the heat who knows.
at the Holiday Inn pre-tailgate tailgate (assuming they have that again this year like in years past), we use the restrooms inside the hotel. At the Tinely parking lot, it's a porto-potty situation - just remember to bring a roll of toilet paper and some hand sanitizer.
I'm a guy, the world is my restroom
hahahaha.....
i wish i could say the same for me... Hopefully it'll be warm again this year like last year and the sun will soak up all the beverages i consume (but not so much that I can't feel the effects!)

ANyone know about those custom porta potties people make? Usually a 5 gallon bucket with a seat and privacy screen. I'm debating that because some of the pota johns got nasty by 5pm. Granted yes I will wizz anywhere my wife is much more refined . . . so I'm think a 5 gallon bucket with Blue chemical in it. What is that Blue Chemical!?

Much like hotels skip the 13th floor, maybe the venue should have skipped this row.

Did the Holiday Inn have parties Friday night too? I may sneak up to that if so.
Yep...and Mac did a show just a couple miles down the street, too.
Last year this was kinda funny...when I arrived at the Holiday Inn Friday evening, a 50-something guy gets on the elevator with a sippy cup dressed "nicer tropical". I commented the sippy cup was a new approach and he said they were at the hotel for a Hawaiian themed wedding...and found the hotel filled with Parrotheads....

Welcome to BN!
This is a fun group. I logged in last year and had a great time in VEgas with a few BN'rs. I expect nothing but the same for Tinley. Sit tight as we grow closer more details will surface.

Like he says, "pace yourselves".
Can't believe tickets are arriving already! At least I'll have something to look at....for the next 5 months.

And just duct tape a toilet seat to the bucket.
