I have a couple questions while I'm looking into flights:

1) What time do you expect 2e Day 2 will finish up?

2) Is there a train stop close to the venue? If so, do you know the name of the stop?

3) What's your guess for travel time in an Uber to O'hare or Midway from the venue on a Sunday afternoon?

It starts at 10:00 am sharp. It's a 3 round Swiss for the Top 8, so I suspect it will finish up no later than 2:00 pm, accounting for games going to time.

It appears that the Fullerton stop of the Red Line is closest to the venue.

45 mins or an hour, respectively.

From a Chicagoan who travels these routes fairly regularly, and actually interviewed for a job at the venue:

The walk to / from the Fullerton stop is a very nice 2-3 block walk through a park and university campus. You can get to either airport in roughly an hour via public transportation. Roughly the same amount of time via private car, possibly a bit longer due to traffic.

Who needs airport pickup? Time and airport, please.
If someone could pick me up from MSP sometime on Thursday, I might think about coming.
MSP or Midway?

I am driving down with Lillian on Wednesday and we are staying in Chinatown with her parents. If you need a lift from Midway, we might be able to help. Let me know.

Where are you staying, Jason? Getting from Midway to downtown is pretty easy. You take the orange line in.
