Ravinia Festival turf war, food fight hospitalizes Arlington Heights man, cops say

A dispute over lawn space erupted into a turf war that sent one man to the hospital before a sold-out Donna Summer concert Saturday at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, police said.
After setting up their blankets, chairs and a tarp, a group of concertgoers from Arlington Heights left for a restaurant. Returning an hour later, they found their belongings displaced by a Chicago group, which they confronted.
A woman in the Chicago group tried to attack a woman from the returning group, police said. A 40-year-old Chicago man then punched a 49-year-old Arlington Heights man, prompting a wine-and-cheese splattering melee, police said.
The Arlington Heights man was taken by ambulance to Highland Park Hospital, where he received 15 stitches, while the Chicago man was charged with battery.

This is too funny. Especially if you are familiar with the Ravinia festival. I can see a Chicago guy living by the credo "Ya move your meat, ya lose your seat".

Somehow I have this image of a Donna Summer video with her singing "(No More Tears) Enough is Enough".

Don't mess with those north side Itallians. Especially at a Donna Summers concert.
How tough can they be if they were throwing wine and cheese?
When the other guys are armed with beer and bratwursts, I'd worry.

Never saw an address for him in the news reports.
Considering his address, is he a cop or firefighter?

7441 North Oriole. WBBM isn't shy about giving awaythe exact address. I think I'll head over there tonight with a blanket and some lawn chairs.
