Noblesville,IN OR Chicago,IL??

Hey fellow ants, this is going to be my first time going out of my usual area for a show. I usually go to Charlotte, VA Beach, and Bristow. I am going to Bristow again this year, but will be traveling during the summer and have the option to go to either Noblesville Saturday Night, or Chicago on the 4th and possibly 5th.

Historically it seems that some good setlists have been played the second night at Noblesville, but I have a feeling Chicago on the 4th would be pretty legit. What are your thoughts?

    Chicago. Not just for the music, but because I love Chicago. Great town.

    All depends on what type of pizza you like, New York or Chicago Style?

    Second, I say go to Chicago if you have the chance at 2 shows.

    Well, I like NY style pizza better. But I have always wanted to visit Chicago. I plan on trying to get tickets through warehouse, but am nervous about the new venue in Chicago, I am unsure where the preferred lawn section would be for warehouse members. I have heard that from way back in the lawn you can barely see or hear the show.

    The food alone is a major factor to go to Chicago. Italian Beef & Pizza, what else do you need? Greek Town is a major draw for me too.

    The museums, Navy Pier, downtown, there's so much shit to do.

    Well, if you can swing both shows in Chicago that seems like it would be more worth it to travel to. For purely a "show" experience I would choose Deer Creek - and I LIVE downtown Chicago. But 2 shows in Chicago > than 1 show in Indy. Plus you can stay at a nice hotel and do fun tourist stuff and eat well as opposed to camping or staying in a generic hotel. Hit me up if you need hotel recommendations. Palmer House and W City Center had some pretty great rates last I checked.

    You will want to avoid the lawn. It's almost completely flat.

    Thanks guys! I am a graduate student so really tight budget but have a summer internship in St. Louis. I am gonna make the drive up to Chicago for July 4th weekend... I just booked a spot at the "Hostelling" in Chicago (never stayed in a hostel before) for 70$ 2 nights. There is probably a reason why it is so cheap, i'm sure I will find that out.

    Haha if I could I think I most definitely would. But seeing as how I have to drive from St. Louis I don't think I could take a day off from my internship to drive up to Deer Creek so I would only be able to do Saturday night.

    the better venue is deer creek is my guess... but if you want an all around fun weekend and you can do a little bit of everything, chicago can offer that big time... beautiful place to be in the summer

    Totally agree. Are you traveling to see some great shows, or are you looking to have an amazing overall experience? If you've never been to Chicago before...well, I think your answer is pretty obvious.

    Edit: I'm biased.

    Go to Deer Creek and camp at Dead Creek. You won't regret it.
