Sears Centre Arena Reviews

Pretty old place. Most concessions not open for event. Weak audio/visual. Recommend the churro.

Very large venue. Not very easy to enter. Long lines surrounding the building outside. Not good, especially in winter. Sound was ok, considering the size of the site. Also paid $20 for parking. RIP OFF.

Went to the mother trucking beer and food truck fest, very fun, a neat experience.

Great place for concerts, but 20.00 for parking is a ripoff.

I went there for a graduation and one of the employees called my mother stupid. Worst service ever and I don't plan on going back anytime soon.

Holy crap turn around!!!!!

Toilet lines almost as long as beer line. Ridiculous!

Spent half the time in line waiting to be raped with high prices.

VIP seats are obstructed by speakers and the schwag bag that was supposed to come with the vip tickets is no being produced.

Megadeth still rocked but see them somewhere else.

I always like going here. It's a smaller version of the Allstate Arena, so not AS crowded, very friendly staff and security, and the seats are actually comfortable. I had my high school graduation here YEARS ago, and just had my youngest sibling graduate as well. I've only been here four times for graduations, but every time I am, it's a great experience!

It's a nice place in the northwest suburbs for smaller concerts or other venues. I wish they could find big artists to come here for concerts

Sears arena needs to switch it's concessions offering from the mediocre fair Levy offers or at least lower the prices: 9 dollars for a microwaved sysco cheeseburger and a dash of cold curly fries does not a good concessions experience make.

I went to the Windy City Bulls event, was my first time there at the Sears Centre. Nice place, I'm excited to go there more once the Windy City Bulls start. Then I was there for a high school graduation, which was very nice. Good spot to have it, plenty of room and indoors.

Parking was packed but got out of the parking lot very easy.

Arena is a nice size. Not too big, which means any seat was great. Women's bathroom line moved pretty quickly and was clean. Only problems were the "cash only" aspect and the fact that there weren't enough stands open at intermission to accommodate all the people who wanted food. Also, I paid more to park here $20, than I did when we saw Hamilton in the City $15.

Workers were friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean. Enjoyable place to see a game.

Went to see movie hosted by Chicago's drive in theater. It was fun place. Huge parking lot and crew toilets and sanitizer available. Also can grab quick snack and drink if hungry!!!

Awesome place! Super clean and very good at managing large crowds!

Now Arena is showing drive-in movies. Great idea to use stacked cargo containers as a movie screen. Accommodations are great, staff is very friendly & arena is centrally located. Welcomed & needed idea! Look forward to future events hosted here.

Had a blast at the circus! So much to look at, very entertaining!

A super wonderful place for events and private activities

Way too expensive refreshments & food. $8.50 for a pretzel with cheese? $9 beer? Go to Allstate or the UC for that cash. Events and Arena just OK.

I went here to see a concert. It was the worst possible setup for a musical concert. The audio was horrific! Who did the sound system for such a huge stadium. Everything sounded muffled. If you didn't know the lyrics to the songs too bad for you. The mics on the band was louder than the singers. My seats were fine but some people were seated on the opposite side of the stage which was the opposite side of the stadium. Some people were in seats that were blocked by protrusions hanging down from the ceiling. It was a mess. I really, really like King and Country but they were given a bad bill of sale and so were their fans.

Nice stadium with good facilities. Not the best indoor stadium I have been to.

I always go there on 4th of July to watch fireworks

The IRCA Competition was held there this past weekend. My granddaughter competes. I have had fun these past years attending this competition at the Sears Center. There cheer team won this year in their age group. Large venue, but once you know the layout it's doable.

Best for discounted appliance and Ashley Furniture!!

Great place for an event. The suites are tiny but nice and hello keep the crowd away.

There was plenty of space.nice and cool no bugs they had popcorn and pretzels.i didnt order anything.they even had graduation stuff. I was really impressed

Horrible experience. Workers were rude. Inconvenient. We couldn't take our stroller in so we had such a hard time with our TWIN babies. Everything is overpriced. There was never any assistance. The Circus was magnificent, but too bad the arena was problematic. We spent $200, thinking it was going to be brilliant. It turned out to be tremendously disappointing.

went here quite a while back for my cousin's graduation and i was very young so i remember little to nothing of the experience. it was okay so worth 3 out of 5. other than that, you're better off @ Allstate Arena in Rosemont. no good events here other than that, i pass it on the highway pretty often so i know.

For the aew wrestling event last night, my wife and I waited too long to get inside the building, not enough help at the concession stand by section 117, and the merchandise stand for aew wrestling was unorganized and too many people milled around the tables instead of having separate lines so people could get in and out!

Was here for a high school graduation. Weather was scary. Winds were high and there was rain, no dropoffs were allowed.

Other than the above. The place was very clean. Security was very curtious and friendly. Seats are small, and not very comfortable, and rows are close together, though visibility was great.

We enjoyed the Toby Mac concert very much! Parking and leaving after the show was smooth. Faster than we expected.

I had an Easter weekend service and it was good, we had ample parking space, the seats are good and the venue well conditioned.
My only challenge was the women s rest room, in one or two of the rest room I saw dripping water on the floor, it was a mess and the toilet was dirty. I hope something is done about this.

Nice staff, convenient parking, indoor box office and quality show. Nice restrooms and food and beer vendors. Hot Wheels Monster Truck live.
Photos from upper level suite. Before and after the carnage.

My son's high school graduation was held here. It was clean, comfortable, easy to hear and see, just a beautiful experience.

Seats are to small and close together. My long legs barely fit and not comfortably.

My son just graduated from there Great place over enough room...

Very good place but you have to leave before the end of the event because it is a disaster to leave the parking lot

Nice arena, nothing crazy special. Depending on event, parking can be a nightmare

This is a very nice arena. Food and beer is overpriced for minor league basketball though. $10 for a beer is steep IMHO for this venue. The people I went with had been there before, and requested we eat dinner at the restaurants around Sears so they could save some money.

It was great experience to be there and enjoy the game with kids.

Good convenient location, mid size arena, alway enjoy concerts there!

Windy City Bulls are back you must come see a game.

Traveling In/Out: average
Parking: easy
Arena: good
PA System: good
Food: below average
Food/alcohol prices: ridiculous
Bathrooms: horrid (floor)

Signs were not clear enough off express and parking a bit tight, but nice facility inside

Went for Graduation- hard to hear speakers (valedictorian etc)

Over 5 dollars for a bottle of water. Can you say gouging!!

This venue is way too small for monster truck shows. They had concrete instead of dirt track. This prices are very high for everything! If your a smoker you cannot even go outside. Go to Allstate its way better

Excellent volleyball matches of the highest calibre. Downsides? Traffic and parking are a nightmare and everything on offer is outrageously expensive. Welcome to Chicago I guess.

We found the arena easily using the Google maps. The parking was very close to the arena, and it cost us $20 to park our car there. We didn't wait to long to get in, and finding our seats didn't take too long (~5 min.). The lighting was perfect. The lobbies and the bathrooms were clean. No negative points in my view.

We have attended a good amount of events for the Windy City Bulls.Definitely great for the family. They keep the kids entertained. They hand out a bunch of free stuff as well. I'd definitely recommend for a family night out. My kids loved it! Parking is pretty convenient. Friendly staff.

Great venue...clean...good parking...great location...could use a little more staff....

Great seats! Lines were short to everything from the bathrooms, the food, and the souvenirs. My family had a blast at the Hot Wheels Monster Truck Rally.
