Transportation Details from O’Hare -
Follow signs in the airport to the CTA Blue Line Train. Buy a fare card with $7.50 on it ($5.00 to get to the venue, $2.50 to get back to the airport). Get on the train, and then get off at the Rosemont stop. Walk about 15 minutes to the hotel.
The hotel also provides a shuttle.
CTA Closures -
Redline service is closed between Dan Ryan/95th and Chinatown/Cermak after May 19th. If you are coming from the South Side of Chicago via CTA, you will need to use buses to make an alternate route to the blue line.

Is there free parking?
The new venue does not have free parking unless you are an overnight guest.
Is the parking at the hotel? And is it available for all 3 days of the tournament?
The new venue does not have free parking unless you are an overnight guest.
The free parking is what I’m asking about. Just to make that clear.
I heard the new venue does not have free parking unless you are an overnight guest. Is this true?
This is true. Overnight guests get free parking, and parking is reduced for tournament attendees to $10/day.

So, I made my reservation and got the confirmation e-mail. The e-mail is telling me that parking is $24 a day. Is that taken off just by telling them that I’m there for UFGT9?

“Parking will be completely free for any guest staying overnight for UFGT9, and will be discounted to $10/day for everyone else attending.”
Rooms are sold out apparently, any chance that there will be more available soon at the group rate?
Rooms should not be sold out. I’ll call the hotel and get it sorted.
This should be fixed now. If not, try in an hour.
Kiets u sir are the man.
Is there free parking? What if I’m not an overnight guest?
As it says, parking is discounted to $10/day for UFGT9 attendees. Free if you are an overnight guest.
How much is parking?
