Allstate Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Rosemont, Illinois, United States, northwest of Chicago, located at the corner of Mannheim Road and Lunt Avenue, just north of Mannheim Road's interchange with the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of O'Hare International Airport. The facility opened in 1980 as the Rosemont Horizon and seats up to 22,000 for concerts, 17,500 for basketball, 16,692 for ice hockey and 16,143 for arena football.

Key Information

The arena is home to the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League (AHL) and has served as the home arena for a number of other professional and collegiate teams, most notably the DePaul Blue Demons from 1980 through 2017.

History

[edit]

The Village of Rosemont issued $19 million in bonds to finance the cost of the arena with exclusive contracts with Araserv, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and MFG International.

On August 13, 1979, the uncompleted roof of the Rosemont Horizon collapsed, killing five construction workers and injuring 16 others.[4] The collapse was featured in the "Engineering Disasters" episode of Modern Marvels, first broadcast by The History Channel on April 20, 2006.

One distinctive feature of the Allstate Arena is its timber roof, designed to muffle the sounds of any passing aircraft descending into and taking off from nearby O'Hare International Airport.

The facility, originally named Rosemont Horizon, was intended to be the home of the Chicago Horizons of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and was home of the 1980–1981 season but the franchise folded in 1982. It was also intended to be the home of the WHA's Chicago Cougars, but the team folded in 1975, three years before the arena broke ground. The first concert held at the Horizon was Fleetwood Mac on May 15, 1980, as they cut a red ribbon on the stage during the opening of the show.

The Rosemont Horizon was featured in many [citation needed]music videos, including the 1985 music video "Big City Nights" by Scorpions.[5]

Insurance company Allstate signed a 10-year contract worth more than $10 million on June 9, 1999, to acquire naming rights to the arena and renovate it.[6]

On December 29, 2002, Creed gave a concert at the arena with lead singer Scott Stapp obnoxiously high and drunk. After barely performing and mumbling incoherently through the first songs, he fell asleep onstage for a few minutes and the show ended early. This performance led four concertgoers to sue the band for over $2 million, and contributed to Creed's breakup.[7]

On December 14, 2003, the floor at the Allstate Arena was named "Ray and Marge Meyer Court" in honor of Basketball Hall of Famer Ray Meyer and his wife. Meyer coached DePaul's men's team for 42 seasons and is the school's all-time winningest coach.[8][9]

Allstate Arena has been the home of the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League since they were inaugurated in 1994.[10]

Allstate Arena was the home of DePaul University men's basketball team until the end of the 2016–17 season. The Blue Demons previously played on campus at Alumni Hall. That gym has since been replaced with McGrath-Phillips Arena, home to the women's basketball program through that team's 2016–17 season. The building hosted the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament three times: the 1987 and 1993 Midwest Regional first and second-round games, and the 2005 Chicago Regional Finals.

The Arena Football League also has a long history with Allstate Arena. The Horizon hosted an arena football test game in 1987 and the Chicago Bruisers were an original Arena Football League team when the league began in 1987. The Bruisers played from 1987 to 1989, and hosted ArenaBowl II in Rosemont, losing to the Detroit Drive, 24–13. In 2001, Arena Football returned to the arena with the Chicago Rush. The Rush increased its home attendance each year from 2001 to 2008, and from 2004 to 2008 averaged between 14,000 and 16,000 fans per game. The Rush's highest home attendance is 16,391 on June 23, 2007, against the Kansas City Brigade. After the AFL restructured in 2009, the Rush returned to the Arena Football League.[11]

On October 25, 2008, the Allstate Arena hosted UFC 90, the first Ultimate Fighting Championship event in the state of Illinois.

The Professional Bull Riders brought their Built Ford Tough Series tour for events in 2006 and 2008.[12][13] As of 2018, the tour has held the Chicago Invitational event here every year since 2010.[14][15] PBR plans to continue this event in Chicago in 2019.[16]

The arena is where the monster truck racing track style known as "Chicago-style" was created.

The Chicago Sky of the WNBA announced on August 17, 2009, that the team reached a multi-year lease with the arena.

In 1989, Loyola Ramblers men's basketball became tenants of the arena, moving from the International Amphitheatre. The team played its home games at the Rosemont Horizon during their 1989–90, 1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93, and 1993–94 seasons before moving to a renovated Alumni Gym on their campus.[17][18][19]

During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Allstate Arena was the site of the Champs for Charity Hockey Game where current and former Chicago Blackhawks hosted fellow NHL players in front of 10,000+ fans.

DePaul left the arena after the 2016–17 season for the new Wintrust Arena in Chicago, leaving the arena without a permanent college basketball tenant, although Northwestern University moved its men's home basketball games to the arena temporarily for the 2017–18 season before returning to its on-campus home at Welsh–Ryan Arena in Evanston, after a full-academic-year renovation of that facility.

Allstate Arena before the airing of WWE Raw in August 2021

The Allstate Arena is the standard venue for WWE events in Chicago. For decades, WWE's most prominent figures have appeared at this venue. These include Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, John Cena, Triple H, Roman Reigns, and Chicago native CM Punk. Since 1986, WWE has held numerous pay-per-view, non-televised, NXT, Raw, and SmackDown shows in the arena. Allstate Arena is also one of two venues (the other being Madison Square Garden) to host WrestleMania three times: namely the second segment of WrestleMania 2 in 1986, WrestleMania 13 in 1997, and WrestleMania 22 in 2006—the last WrestleMania to date to be held in an arena setting (all future events have primarily been held in larger-capacity football stadiums, barring WrestleMania 36 which was filmed in a closed studio at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

The venue has also hosted The Wrestling Classic in 1985, three editions of Survivor Series (1989, 2019, and 2023), No Mercy 2007, Night of Champions 2010, two editions of Judgment Day (1998 and 2009), two editions of Extreme Rules (2012 and 2015), two editions of Backlash (2001 and 2017), two editions of Money in the Bank (2011 and 2018), three editions of Payback (2013, 2014[20] and 2016), the two editions of NXT TakeOver: Chicago (2017, 2018), NXT TakeOver: WarGames (2019) and Hell in a Cell 2022.

As of 2024, there have only been three instances where WWE has hosted an event in Chicago outside the Allstate Arena; that being SummerSlam 1994, a WWE Road To WrestleMania (34) Live Event, and a 2018 Holiday Tour Live Event, all held at the United Center.

When the arena was known as Rosemont Horizon, the venue hosted American Wrestling Association (AWA) events in the Chicago area during the 1980s, replacing the International Amphitheatre. It was also the standard venue for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) events in the Chicago area during the mid-1990s, replacing the UIC Pavilion. WCW held Spring Stampede at the arena in April 1994, as well as an episode of WCW Monday Nitro in October 1995. However, it would later switch to using the United Center for its shows in the region.

Concerts

Styx recorded their reunion live album Return To Paradise at the arena on September 21, 1996.

Gabriel Iglesias' Netflix special, I'm Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry, was filmed at the arena in 2016.

Creed incident

[edit]

On December 29, 2002, rock band Creed were set to perform on tour promoting their album Weathered. Lead singer Scott Stapp (who had endured a widely publicized addiction to alcohol) arrived to the performance too intoxicated to enunciate any lyrics. The band performed three songs before Stapp's incoherent behavior began to noticeably affect their ability to perform. Four concertgoers sued Stapp and the band for failing to complete their performance, though this lawsuit was ultimately dismissed, and many criticized Stapp for his behavior throughout the incident.[21] Creed later issued an apology on Stapp's behalf.[22]

History

Construction and Early Development

The Rosemont Horizon, later renamed Allstate Arena, was conceived as a multi-purpose indoor entertainment venue to bolster in the Village of Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb northwest of . Construction commenced on September 12, 1978, financed primarily through $19 million in municipal bonds issued by the Village of Rosemont to fund the project aimed at accommodating sports events, conventions, and performances. The arena's design featured a distinctive glued-laminated timber arch intended to mitigate noise from nearby runway operations, with Anthony M. Rossi Architects serving as the lead firm and Degen & Rosato Construction Co. handling general contracting. The estimated total construction cost reached approximately $20 million. On August 13, 1979, during a period of heavy rainfall, the partially completed structure collapsed, resulting in the deaths of five construction workers and injuries to 16 others; investigations attributed the failure to water accumulation on the untested arches. Despite the setback, reconstruction proceeded using the original laminated beam , with reinforced considerations for structural , allowing the to advance toward completion without fundamental design alterations. This incident underscored challenges in timber for large-span arenas but did not derail the village's development ambitions for the facility as a regional hub.

Opening and Initial Operations

The Rosemont Horizon, as the arena was originally known, opened on May 11, 1980, following construction that addressed an earlier partial roof collapse during building in 1979. The facility, owned and operated by the Village of Rosemont, cost approximately $19 million to complete and featured an initial capacity of around 16,600 seats for sports events. The inaugural public event occurred three days later, with Fleetwood Mac performing a sold-out on May 15, 1980, during which a red ribbon was cut onstage to formally inaugurate the venue. This performance set the tone for early operations dominated by high-profile rock and pop , including subsequent shows by artists such as Journey, , and later that year, which quickly established the Horizon as a major suburban entertainment destination. Originally intended as the home for the of the , the arena's sports programming shifted after the league folded in 1979 without the team relocating. Initial athletic tenants included the Chicago Horizon indoor soccer team of the Major Indoor Soccer League, which played its home games there from 1980 until the franchise folded after the 1981–82 season. basketball followed as an anchor tenant, hosting its first game at the venue on December 1, 1980, after outgrowing its on-campus facilities.

Renaming and Renovations

The Rosemont Horizon was renamed in 1999 through a naming rights deal with Corporation.

This renaming coincided with a $20 million project funded in part by Allstate's payment, aimed at modernizing the 19-year-old arena. Upgrades included the installation of new club seats and luxury skyboxes, improvements to sightlines and acoustics for better event quality, expansion of space by 40,000 square feet to accommodate larger crowds, and enhancements to lighting and sound systems. The facility reopened as Allstate Arena in early August 1999 following these works. Subsequent renovations have focused on operational enhancements rather than structural overhauls. In recent years, concession areas were upgraded and renamed to reflect Chicago historical figures, improving fan amenities without altering core capacity or layout. In 2025, the arena added 30 LED displays from , including a 360-degree board spanning 899 feet around the seating fascia, to elevate visual experiences during events.

Major Incidents and Criticisms

On August 13, 1979, during construction of the Rosemont Horizon (the arena's original name before its 1999 rebranding as Allstate Arena), the unfinished roof collapsed, killing five workers and injuring 16 others. The incident occurred near O'Hare International Airport when structural failures, including design omissions, inadequate bracing, and improper storage of construction materials on the roof, caused approximately 300 tons of wooden trusses and steel beams to fail under their own weight. Investigations attributed the collapse to engineering and construction errors, delaying the arena's opening from late 1979 to May 1980. The arena has faced operational criticisms related to crowd management and , particularly during high-attendance events. Attendees have reported severe delays in parking and entry due to inadequate , insufficient staff direction, and congested roadways, sometimes causing fans to miss significant portions of concerts or games; one review described a 90-minute delay for a one-mile drive without any accidents or major disruptions. concerns have been raised about tight seating configurations and narrow concrete steps, which could exacerbate risks during evacuations or panic situations, as noted in analyses of potential hazards for events like WNBA games. In December 2002, a concert by the band at the arena drew widespread criticism for poor performance quality, including sound issues and lackluster delivery, prompting a class-action from ticket holders seeking $2 million in refunds. The event highlighted occasional performer-related disputes but did not involve structural or crowd safety failures. No major post-opening structural incidents or widespread violence have been documented, though event-specific security enhancements have been implemented for high-profile shows.
