https://kay.ac/00qVdo - closest hotel to the venue (still a bit of a walk because the venue is at the docks), and a reasonable $105 per night. You can take the UP Express from the airport to Union Station, and then Uber from there.

Thank you, Bang! This was hugely helpful.

I'll be going to to LA show. Such a small venue for them I will have to say it's sure to sell out. It'll be nice to see them in a smaller venue for sure.

It's actually a rather large venue. It accommodates 5000 standing. The last time they came to California, they played the 2 Fox theatres which are around 1800 and 2800 capacity. Pomona sold out, but Oakland did not.

It's kind of a lame venue though, it's just a long hall. I was in there once, and I don't remember what the acoustics were like, but the ambience is lame.

Compared to the Fox Theatre's yes it is much larger, but I was making the comparison to the Hollywood Bowl Show - which they sold out 5 years ago and that place holds over 17,000. I've seen them at the Bowl twice, but I favor the indoor venues. The Shrine Expo is a long hall with a balcony that circles from either side of where they usually set up the stage. I'm not sure if it'll be any different for UW. The key is to get up front or close to the stage from the balcony. I don't believe they have speakers at the end of the hall and from the far end it will echo. It's definitely not the venue I would choose to see them at, however, it's my only option and I couldn't wait for them to come back. My raving days and bouncing off other body days are over, so I'll likely be up in the balcony, hopefully rail side to get a good view. Doors open at 8pm and they're scheduled to go on at Midnight. Nuts!

Man, USC's commencement is on May 15, so all the hotels in that area are booked up solid that weekend.

Add me to the list of bewildered Chicagoans. I’d love to know what the issue is.

I feel for ya. Detroit was already booked up as well, presumably for regular festival-goers and the holiday weekend. I tentatively reserved a room, but I can get a hotel PLUS airfare to Toronto for the same cost. Yikes! Hope you find something!

Dangit!
Maybe the fellas will ride the train through the Midwest from LA > NY and can wave as they pass me in Chicago.

Next time.
