You could not have asked for a more iconic venue for this momentous event. My daughter received her PhD on what had to be the most blustery day so far this year. But upon entering the the Chicago Theatre, seeing all those caps and gowns, hearing the string ensemble, and realizing what a special day it was for so many students, the thoughts of the weather quickly faded. Great job!
I wish I had such praise for the procedure getting through the security gauntlet. I could not get the phone app to work once I got to the ticket counter. I had the foresight to obtain a printed receipt of the tickets, which enabled me to finally get me and my family in. Not a major glitch, but one I knew would happen. At the ticket window on the outside of the building, I was told there were no discount tickets for parking. Fortunately, once I got inside, the sign stating "Parking Discount" was clearly stated.
