Northerly Island Park Review

Just attended my first concert (Dave Matthews Band 7/5/14) at Northerly Island and enjoyed the beautiful back drop of Chicago's Skyline. Parking is available near Soldier Field. You can either take a Long walk up to the Field Museum, Adler Planitarium and then down to the venue or wait for a free Ferry ride across to the island. The line took about 15 min and there were 4 boats carrying 18 people each per trip. The acoustics were not that great so stay near to the speakers. We were pretty far back and they were only a speck on the stage but watched on the big screen they had which worked well.
