With Lollapalooza Over, Cleanup Begins At Grant Park
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The music is gone, and so are the crowds. Now it's time to assess the damage four days of Lollapalooza caused to Grant Park.
Rain delayed the start of Lollapalooza on Thursday morning, but the rest of the weekend was dry, and fans who spoke to WBBM said Grant Park was not very muddy.
"It's actually not that bad. I've been some years where it's pretty awful. People just get caked," one woman said.
Visions of previous years' storms turning the park into a giant mud bath shaped some wardrobe decisions.
"I was thinking what if it rains, but yesterday I wore these exact same shoes, but I didn't get muddy like that," one fan said.
A Chicago Park District spokeswoman said now that the festival has ended, the district will assess the damage at Grant Park with a third party contractor, and bill Lollapalooza organizers for any repairs.
Last year, C3 Presents spent about $236,000 to restore grass and clean up the park.
