Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre
Tinley Park, IL · Amphitheater
Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, the big shed in Chicago's south suburbs once known as Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre and the World Music Theatre, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus a small clutch up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. Snacks are fine in a clear gallon bag, with sealed water up to a gallon.
Backpacks, camping chairs, strollers, umbrellas, and wallet chains all stay home. There is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. With room for around 28,000, the lawn is huge, so pack clear and arrive early for a good spot.
