And the Allstate Arena era...

Does that mean the new WRA will be the finest arena in Chicagoland?? Dang!!!!

This, if only by default. Although I'm sure it will rise to the top on its own merits by next November. On the BTN broadcast of our last game at Iowa, Jon Crispin and the PxP guy were both giving the new WRA some (premature) rave reviews, and how it would would place NU in the upper echelon of B10 arenas.

Wintrust is a very nice arena. Its financing was a disgrace but the arena itself is a great place to watch a game. Just need to make the upper level concourses a bit nicer.

All-State is / was terrible but it made the most sense. Loyola was too small and the parking is atrocious there. They arent used to big crowds and when they do have them its a mess. The used to host the high School Super Sectionals there a few times but no more because they place would be packed and no where for people to park as well plus students who take night classes there complained that they couldnt find anywhere to park on those nights. I agree with the other poster, if there is a concert or event I would rather drive up to Milwaukee and the Bradley Center before ever going to All-State. always hope a big show I may want to see is at the United Center before that dump in Rosemont
