About this venue
Allstate Arena is a major multi-purpose indoor arena in Rosemont, built for headline concerts, high-energy sports, and family shows. Its flexible bowl-and-floor setup adapts to each event, with capacity ranging from about 16,692 for hockey to roughly 18,200–22,000 for concerts depending on stage placement and floor seating.
Inside, the experience is defined by strong sightlines across most sections, a big-arena atmosphere, and production-friendly acoustics that suit both loud touring acts and tightly produced performances. Guests also appreciate a straightforward layout, comfortable seating, solid food-and-drink options, and the extra comfort of 48 luxury suites.

About the city
Rosemont, located on the edge of Chicago, has grown into a recognizable hub for entertainment and major events—ideal for visitors who want to combine a top-tier experience with effortless logistics. The village is known for concentrating big arenas, convention facilities, and a lively nightlife zone in a compact area, so everything feels fast, organized, and free of unnecessary hassle. That is why Rosemont is often chosen by sports and concert fans who want to make the most of their time before and after the event.
One of its biggest advantages is connectivity: the CTA “L” Blue Line takes you to the Rosemont station, and from there it’s easy to continue to key locations and venues. If you’re flying in, O’Hare International Airport is practically next door, making Rosemont an exceptionally convenient choice for travelers from other states or abroad. Arriving by train is also supported by the Metra Rosemont station (North Central Service), and getting around between hotels, shopping, and entertainment areas is especially simple with Pace Bus Route 811, which links the Rosemont Transit Center with major points such as the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and nearby complexes. Whether you’re heading to Allstate Arena or other large facilities, the route is straightforward and visitor-friendly.
As a “tourism bonus,” Rosemont offers great ways to fill the hours before or after an event: Parkway Bank Park delivers a concentrated mix of restaurants and entertainment in one place, while Fashion Outlets of Chicago is a popular stop for shopping and a quick reset. If you’re craving a broader city vibe, Chicago’s proximity makes it easy to slip into well-known neighborhoods and walks that round out the experience—then return to Rosemont on time and without stress.
