Chicago Villan 1974 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Hello Villa fans, I will be at the Villa v America game in Chicago. I am wondering if anyone, especially those who might know someone in the club that can share travel itinerary info for when the squad and staff are in Chicago. What day and time are they landing at Chicago O'Hare airport (trying to get a welcoming party together) What hotel and accomodations are they using? Other activities the traveling party may be having? Is there an open training session? When and Where? Fan meet and greets? Might there be any apperances at the Adidas store downtown Chicago on Michigan Ave? Please share any info you may have so we Chicago Villa fans can show the lads how well supported Villa are in Chicago and the Midwest as a whole. Thanks in advance If you dont want to share here, please feel free to email me at fischerc12@gmail.com Sincerely, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely that they are on a charter flight as they were when leaving BHX. O'Hare is just too busy with commercial traffic with United and American having major hubs there. So unless they are on a scheduled commercial flight O'Hare is improbable. Also highly likely that the buses will be driven onto the secure ramp at the FBO and travel party will not enter any public spaces. All sports team charters (NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA) operate this way in the US. I may be wrong of course, but didn't want you to build up your hopes of seeing them at the airport... Here's a breakdown: Chicago Midway: Aircraft operations: avg 587/day * 73% commercial 13% air taxi 13% transient general aviation <1% military Du Page: Aircraft operations: avg 372/day * 49% local general aviation 44% transient general aviation 6% air taxi <1% military <1% commercial Chicago O'Hare: Aircraft operations: avg 2053/day * 78% commercial 21% air taxi <1% transient general aviation <1% military Edited July 28 by FLVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
