The cicadas were more scared of you than you of them.

Never been to the National in Chicago, but it's hard for me to imagine the location of the venue being worse than Cleveland.

Cleveland the venue itself was fine (mostly) once you finally got there (the WiFi sucked) - but it's like an old airport hangar in the middle of nowhere. No close hotels for decent prices, no food within walking distance. (The food trucks inside were ok, but pricey). We stayed the suburb over in Independence, and ubered to the show each day. I wouldn't have wanted to have driven myself.

Don't know until I see it, but I would imagine I'd be a lot more willing to accept a run down venue that was more convenient to the amenities than just randomly enough space in the middle of nowhere.
