Chicago-ers... tinley park?
Hi all - has anyone ever been to an event at Tinley Park? DH wants to see Brooks and Dunn one last time before they're no longer a duo and we can't make the tour date they're in our area because we'll be out of town for my sisters graduation from medical school (super proud of her!!). The closest one to us we can actually make is at Tinley Park. Looks like it is an outdoor ampitheater. I'm thinking about buying the cheap seats on the lawn but I have no idea how far away that is from the stage and if we'll need binoculars to see the stage.
Re: Chicago-ers... tinley park?
I saw a show there a couple of summers ago. I think it's a nice venue - pretty much like every other outdoor venue I've seen. We had lawn seats and they were pretty standard. Sorry I can't help, but if you're looking to go to the concert, why not?!
OK so stupid question - do we bring our own chairs for lawn seats?
When we have lawn seats (at Tinley or elsewhere), we just bring a blanket (and layers, if necessary... it gets cold at night in the spring and fall). The time we were at Tinley, however, a man in front of us was so drunk that he puked and passed out BEFORE the show even started! Since we didn't want to sit in his puke (the lawn was pretty much filled at that point), we rented chairs. They were just regular fold-up lawn chairs. There's probably info on their website, but I think they were like $5 each. It was definitely worth it later in the evening when someone behind us relieved himself during the show in the lawn.
So... I guess the moral is, know your audience.
But, either way, chairs should be available for rent if you don't bring them.
Maybe bringing your own chairs wasn't a choice? I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't let you bring your own chairs... more people would be renting them then.
Found your answer... no chairs more than 9" off the ground.
