First Anime Midwest! questions!!

Hello, this is my first time visiting, and I have a few questions. 1) Is there a near by subway / train station? 2) What time does Anime Midwest start? (Friday, Saturday) I am going tomorrow too, so if you know, please tell me the answers to these 2 questions! Thanks!

The hotel and con center are located about 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile south of the CTA's Blue Line "Rosemont" station. If you look on their site, you can find several bus lines that make connections to that station as well. The Convention officially starts at noon on Friday, July 3; though I'm sure con goers will be out and about before then. This is my first AM as well, but I've attended conventions many times here before. Just be ready for additional traffic and possible restrictions due to the holiday weekend.
