You might look into that as well. I would have a back up, at minimum. Amtrak Midwest is decent. Finally, I found rental car pricing at BMI extremely reasonable not too far back. I don't enjoy driving, but I was headed to a town about 30 miles north and I was not wanting to chance it--it was a college holiday during much of my visit.

Have a back up plan (depending on the dates and city).
I'm thinking the first weekend in March won't be a problem.
