walking from northerly island on monday night

We%26#39;re headed to a concert there Monday night, and would prefer to just leave our car parked and walk to get there. But, how safe would it be to walk from there either back to Michigan Ave or State St so we can walk to the hotel (Four Points Sheraton) or just across to State St to catch the red line?

I%26#39;m thinking there may be many others also walking to the el after the concert, but since free parking is included in the ticket price, maybe most people drive there? I don%26#39;t love the idea of walking across Grant Park that late at night unless a bunch of others from the concert are walking too.

Or, as an alternative, should we expect to find lots of cabs available in the area after the concert is over?

Thanks!

I think the walk is safe. I have walked back from there a couple times to the train station with no problems. It isn%26#39;t very easy to get a cab around there after a show. We did try to 1 of the times but just ended up walking the whole way because we didn%26#39;t see many cabs.

leslie, we%26#39;re going to the show Monday too, what makes you think that parking is included in the ticket price? Do you have VIP parking? My husband seemed to think that when he bought the tickets that they offered VERY expensive parking and I was trying to figure out where to park where we wouldn%26#39;t get fleeced...

I just took a peek at the web site

';Parking is available at the Soldier Field North Garage (%26#39;North Garage%26#39;) and at the Adler Planetarium Lot.

The price for parking at the Soldier Field North Garage is included in the price of your ticket. The entrance is located along Museum Campus Drive, before the stop sign at McFetridge Drive. Free trolleys are available to transport patrons who park at the North Garage to the Pavilion. The trolleys stage outside the pedestrian entrance/exit to the garage at McFetridge Drive. These trolleys will also be available at the end of the evening to return patrons to the garage (they will not take patrons downtown).

VIP parking at the Adler Planetarium Lot is available for $20.00.';

Thanks Greg, had I been smart to click on parking I would have seen that ;-)

I think we%26#39;ll plan to walk it then. Hopefully by that time of night the temperature will have cooled to a point where it%26#39;s actually pleasant to be out and about. :)
