Knowing where every bathroom is.

Which have the best AC.

Which one is the best and worst overall in the park. (Ironically, they are the ones on either side of SW Territory!)

Regarding the change to the regional park scheme:

If I get a gold pass, but am traveling and want to hit a park elsewhere in the country, is there a significant discount on a one day ticket?

It is about $100 difference between the gold and prestige. A little more than the cost of a 1 day ticket. I am more likely to hit a park while traveling for $25 rather than $80 -100.

Have they announced pricing for such visits?

Great America is a simple 45 minute drive. Hit it nearly weekly. What's next? St. Louis, MSP, Muskegon, and Sandusky are all about the same distance. Leaving @ 5 AM Will give most of the day at any of them.

Which should we hit?

(Any word if the all parks pass will be an included feature next season?)

It would be a great way to continue the groundswell of interest the men's game has garnered if people had an easy way to discover some of the players they will see next year for the women.

Grab some leagues from DAZN and whoever else has the current US Streams. It is surprising how different in style European women's teams play compared to the NWSL!

Lots of international flights are being diverted here! Good day for plane spotters.

I finally decided to pick up the Drink plan for this season. There are 3 season long offers for Great America:

1. Plastic refillable lidded cup. (similar to past years)

2. Paper cups.

3. Premium plan which includes Icee, coffee,etc.

3 was easily ruled out, which left Plastic or paper cup.

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF THESE 2 OPTIONS?

The plastic is less waste as it is reused, but needs to be remembered and carried all day. It appears that it can be shared more easily, but this I'm not certain of.

Are the bottles is tied to a particular pass? If that pass is not used that day, does the bottle not scan?

The paper is convenient, can be tossed in the bin at a station, doesn't need to be carried all day.

More waste, tied to a particular pass.

Is there anything I missed? Are the bottles system wide or only at Gurnee (they have 50th Aniversary branding).

There was a small airport / landing strip on the west side of 76th Street. What was the name of it? Where exactly was it? Was it affiliated with Tuckaway CC? and When did it close?
