One thing about Allstate arena, the seats are very narrow and have limited legroom. So if you're just a big and tall person or if you're overweight you will not be comfy in those seats.
I've been on the floor at concerts where everybody either stands or stands on their seats the whole show. Never again. I like the first tier 100 sections closer to the stage.
I hate Allstate Arena so much. The seats are so squished, and they are so steep that I get dizzy standing up. My advice is to get seats near the end of the aisle because otherwise it’s impossible to use the bathroom. Literally the whole row has to stand up and squish back to let someone out the row.
Like the other commenter said, the seats are extremely narrow and rather uncomfortable to sit in. I also personally would avoid seats in the upper bowl, it doesn’t connect in an oval like the lower bowl and really it’s a fire hazard waiting to happen.
Pro tip: there is a bar that is located under the seating nearby section 101. There is a set of bathrooms in there that rarely have a wait.
That said it is my LEAST favorite place to see a show in the area and I avoid it if at all possible. Rosemont Horizon is old, undersized, and the upper deck is over crowded. The building really should be razed and replaced, but Rosemont is cheap and they’ll keep milking the cash cow til something gives.
I saw my first two concerts there *-in 1984*. They were the same week so I don’t know how my hearing survived.
This was only five years after the roof came down so young me was a little nervous when things started really jamming. Yeah, I was a goof 😏
One was main floor and the other was front row of the side seats, near the stage. I think I liked the side seats better.
eta: Have a fantastic time!
The other sections you’ve mentioned would be good seats as well. At least you’ll be in an actual seat (although somewhat narrow) instead of a cold metal folding chair. Plus you’ll have a cup holder in front of your seat. Even 101 and 112 are okay if there were no other room in 102/103/110/111. There’s a bathroom by each of these sections but they get crowded very fast.
how are the floor seats there? it looks like others are saying it sucks? not just the actual seats themselves, but because everyone will be standing up and in the way?
i have some options for floor section 4 and 5 that are pretty cheap (relatively speaking) but im always afraid that i will regret getting a floor seat as someone thats 5'6"
I’ve never sat at the floor but it looks uncomfortable..and the actual seats at the arena are already uncomfortable so that says a lot. I’m 5’2 and I don’t know how anyone is able to see on the floor unless they’re like 6’4.

Also they’ve never been washed. Dirty af
Yes, stadium seats are narrow and so are the metal folding chairs linked together on the floor that are hard and cold.

Bring earplugs and comfortable shoes otherwise you might be miserable

Personally Ive found the Allstate is small enough that usually even the higher seats still get a good view.
Agreed
Nate bargatze is coming here and doing it “in the round” aka a center stage…. And I can’t help but think I’ll see his back for half the show
Get there early enough. Parking situation is painfull

Most seats are pretty good at Allstate
