The upcoming Chicago Auto Show was forecasted to be a flop but apparently it is promising to be one hot ticket come this weekend. In fact, attendance is expected to swell, squashing all these rumors which has made the organizers quite enthusiastic of the 2009 car show.
“While there’s no hard science behind it, our best guess is that the buzz about the show is spreading virally,” said Jerry Cizek, general manager of the show produced by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association. “We had unusually large crowds in our opening weekend. Evidently, those people are returning to their communities with reports of a fun, bright, affordable auto show that’s packed with family entertainment – and topped off with the great deals that America’s consumers are seeking.”
Over the closing weekend of the show, organizers are suggesting that patrons utilize the vast – and devoid of any weather complication – Millennium Park underground parking lot. Shuttles will bring customers from there directly to the door of McCormick Place via dedicated bus routes, eliminating the thought of any long walks through inclement conditions or traffic tie-ups. The free shuttles will operate Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 21-22 only.
