Allstate Arena, Indoor arena in Rosemont, United States
The Allstate Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Rosemont, Illinois, seating up to 22,000 for concerts, 17,500 for basketball and 16,692 for ice hockey. Its light gray facade is divided into bays by vertical piers, with tall gabled sections of blue-tinted windows at each end and a large blue "Allstate arena" sign centered on the flat middle wall. Glass entrance doors sit at the base.
The hall began operations in May 1980, after construction was overshadowed by delays and a serious accident during the roof assembly. Over the decades, it changed sponsors several times and carried different names before receiving its current designation.
The venue draws many Chicagoans who come for hockey games and concerts, making it a popular meeting point for families and sports fans. The name comes from the Allstate insurance company, which secured the naming rights.
Visitors will find ample parking around the site, both in garages and open lots, easily accessible from the adjoining main roads. Those who arrive early can secure a spot closer to the entrances.
The proximity to O'Hare airport required the roof to be designed with special sound insulation to minimize disruptions from taking off and landing aircraft. In addition, several hockey teams have played here over long periods, bringing the site a loyal following.
