Joe was specifically talking about people form the
northern chicago burbs (ie. lake county).
my sister lives up in Lake Villa (~8 miles west of Great America) and her family has flown out of MKE a handful of times for vacations because it's not any further for them to drive up there than it is to ORD (ORD is 41 miles driving distance from her house, MKE is 45 miles). the parking rates are cheaper and the airport itself is very low stress/low hassle compared to ORD.
so if the schedule and price are competitive, she says that she much prefers using MKE, because the driving distance is a wash for her.
now, would someone living in or Glenview or Glen Ellyn or Glenwood be likely to use MKE over chicago's two airports? no.
