I'm sure there will be plenty of pics after the event. Plenty of media attending including video crews.

Where will they be?

We just got here and I am not at all a car show person. We wanted to get in, see them, take some pics, talk to a few of the Chevy people, and get out.

I saw things opened at 7am tomorrow morning. Where is the best place to park to be able to see them with the shortest walk? Cannot find much info of where things are. We're at the Courtyard over off of Prospect. They all had t-shirts on for the event but did not know where it was.

I expect it will be worth it, drove 800 miles round trip to pick out a color combo.

Address on their website says 1800 S. 1st street, Champaign, Ill. Just plug that into your C6 NAV. Or better yet, if you don't want to waste a half a day messing with the C6 NAV, use a Garmin.
