I am going Ravinia for the first time this weekend and having never been I was kind of hoping somebody could give me the lay of the land.
The parking lot opens at 4PM and the show starts at 7:30. Can I bring a cooler to the parking lot and have a few "pops" before heading in? Can I bring a grill?
Can I bring a cooler into the facility? We have lawn seats - can I bring chairs or is it better to just bring a blanket?
I don't think they allow a grill inside, but most people bring coolers and picnic baskets, blankets, chairs, whatever... We brought in a bunch of food and a few bottles of wine.
Dude you can bring your whole frig and fit right in there. I have never seen such a spread ov food and drinks at a concert. If you have less than a 10 gallon cooler ur a lightwieght. I showed up with nothing the first and only time I went there and I felt left out.
If you don't have a massive spread, special lawn chairs, a big blanket, wine glasses, etc I would feel weird there LOL funny you might have been the less than 1% of peeps with nothing.
Not only is parking a complete fiasco if you get there late, but good luck finding a decent spot on the lawn. When you have 4 people taking up a living room sized space with their blanket and half a kitchen during a sold out show its pretty hard to find a good spot. Needless to say I haven't been back for years.
If you find a tented area with no one in it you can have sex quickly with your woman, and while the security guy will be watching and beating his meat he will be nice enough to let you finish before making his presence known.
new (to me) thing at Ravinia is "Sport Brella Beach Umbrella". sucks for people right behind you, but they are allowed there. that plus blankets at very front of lawn creates alot of privacy.
I used to go there and bring a pillow and a giant sleeping bag and crawl into it with whatever equally classy guy I was dating and diddle around. It's super cool to do stuff like that to the smooth sounds of Bruce Hornsby & The Range, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Mozart's Concerto No. 5 as played by Joshua Bell.
I love Ravinia.
