Although i dont post often i hope i can attend. Also here is my POV on a few things
-Dinner, if it's in the city you are looking at a minimum of 3 to 4 hours between commute down, dinner, and heading home. When i lived in downtown Chicago it was a mess heading down there on a Friday night. There are many great restaurant options out in Schaumburg with the Woodfield Mall near by.
-As for hotel anyone that wants something super convenient should stay at the Sheraton next to the track. It is very nice and walking distance. Also if your an early riser you can request a room that is overlooking the track and you will be able to see the horses working out in the morning. Also breakfast at Arlington is always fun on Saturday mornings.
-Also i interact with John Dooley (track announcer) and im sure he'd love to come talk to the group, give a brief tour and meet for a few cold ones for those interested. Just let me know if you'd like me to reach out
