Sears Centre Arena Reviews

Getting in and around was super easy. Getting out seemed to be a little different, but that's part of the experience.

It is a great venue. I have seen concerts here and The Chicago Bliss Lingerie Football team play here. All in addition to I coach a hockey team that practices on the ice here once a week. When I saw The Bliss play the first time they ran out of beer within the first quarter which to me was just poor planning. The second time I saw them play it was fun and a great venue. The acoustics are concerts are great. As a hockey coach its difficult. The facility is warmer than most rinks but that does not seem to effect the ice which is typically really good. My kids always complain that they have a hard time hearing me on the ice which makes coaching difficult. All and all its a great place with a killer location right off the highway.

Saw All IN here Labor Day weekend.. such a great arena! Reminded me of the old Spectrum in South Philly

No leg room in the seats. Needs more food options.

The venue is awesome. The "concessions" I need a lot of work 30 minutes just to place your order and only two people taking orders. If you're going to get some concessions at this venue make sure you give yourself 45 minutes tops to place your order get your food and then go back to your seat

I attended the Carden Super Spectator Circus on May 6! It is very expensive unless you re just going to watch the show. As prior during intermission and after the show they have it set up for jump houses, face painting, picture with a snake or Spider-Man, camel and pony rides which range from $10 to $15! There is a $10 charged for parking which add that to a camel ride $15, face painting $10, stuffed animal $18, nachos $6, snow cone $5 unless you want it in a flashing glowing cup then that s $10 and the tickets $56.95 which was buy one get one free total $120.95 just for me and my little guy. The animals they had were tigers, pony s, dogs and camels! They had a fake elephant, bear and lots of dancing! Would I recommend this circus or see it again NO! On the plus side my little guy did enjoy the show!

Got us in for the match in record time and quick to help. Great help parking

What a great place to see a show or watch a game just all around good experience

Loved being in the suites. Great parking and quick in and out of the building.

Great team! Bathrooms were quicker than expected, especially with a stadium full of women. Kudos for that for sure!

The staff is reay friendly. I have gone here for 3 graduations. The seating is good but i wish i had a bit more leg room.

Great place for 4th of July fireworks and venue for the carnival.

Sears Centre, at least for Hot Wheels Monster Trucks show was nice. The concourse wasnt very crowded and food lines were not long at all. Everyone working there was friendly. Inside, it was a nice family friendly environment. But, the hot dog and hamburger buns were very soggy and the arena floor is too small for a show like this. Finally, traffic control was horrible. Walking in and out, we were forced to cut through traffic. Not safe.

Love the Windy City Bull's/ BABY bull's! love the intimate experience of the arena, & great seats. Food was fresh, hot, & tasty.
Hot dog & curly fries yes

The Carden circus was amazing host more circuses here.

Typical sports arena but I wish the beer would not be so expansive.

Great Venue! Lots of parking , friendly and very helpful employees and (my fav) clean bathrooms.

Not a bad seat in the house. Windy city Bulls game was great

Trying to provide an honest review here, as the event I was in attendance for very likely skewed my perspective of the venue itself.

As with every other review, I will say that vendor prices (not the event/merch booth) were pretty high. I was surprised given that it is not home to an NHL or NBA franchise.

The parking lot has two entrances, and two exits to leave. However, given the nature of the event, there was no exit out of the rear this night, and it led to one of the most incredibly frustrating post event departures I have experienced. Having a more streamlined process with staff and security would likely have led to a four star rating.

Overall, the vantage points throughout the arena were all great, I did not feel cramped by the seating, moving around the arena was quite easy, and I quite enjoyed the super friendly and polite staff.

Will be back for every future AEW event! (We'll just eat prior to, and have some snacks in the car for after).

Great place full of energy, get there early because traffic control is bad

Staff is not polite everybody needs a course on customer care or communication. Enjoyed the game though.

Had an awesome time out with the family at the Windy City Bulls game!

Easy to get to, large seating venue, great place for shows! Easy parking. I've been here for several games/events, always have a great time!

Not that great of a place but some Incredible events

Price gouging for food and drinks. A bottle of Sprite should not cost $7.00 for a college sporting event. Very disappointed

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! i had never went to a wrestling event and i went to ALL OUT and the experience was something out of this world, i really enjoyed a lot the place, very clean and the atmosphere really amazing!!

What a great place to take my grandson not overcrowded him and my husband had a great time at the event and buying tickets at the box office was super easy.

Good building. Easy access. Thin food menu however.

Nora En Pure, best deep house/indie dance dj/musician out there! At #SAMF.

Great place to see events not a bad seat in the house staff is very helpful

Been here many times, Windy City Bulls game, Celtic Fest and other events. Nice facility for any event.

Ok sound quality, restrooms are not conveniently located

I was here for a graduation ceremony. Nice facilities.

Great venue, but concession were not prepared for an event!

First time ever going there for AEW show and it's freaking awesome!!!! Too sweet

Very well managed and organized. Takes some getting used to with the stairs.

The World Changers Summit was awesome and this location was a perfect venue. Plenty of parking and plenty of concessions and surrounding restaurants!

I thought pretty easy to get to. Lots of port a potties,pretty clean ,missed tilt a whirl at carni? Lil expensive per ticks. All locations were Great! Fireworks pretty awesome!!! Band Semple,Fabulous,v.nice. Didnt go to c.fair ,tho my sis,niece,friend, & f.daught.went they said cute but not much? THANKS,not from there so it was pretty awesome! Police too,seemed most people were KQQL so they were too! My sister had a blast saying hi,they were receptive. Hope they had nit hard times,& lil relaxed time.

I basically sat with Tacko Fall and the Maine Red Claws for $25. I might have even played in the game. Beers were cheap enough that I don't remember how many points I had if I did in fact play.

No lines anywhere for food, drinks, or the bathroom which is great.

I wasn't even aware Sears still existed, but apparently they do if they have naming rights to this arena.

Was there for a graduation. Easy access all around.

Went to go see the Ladies Football League play their home opener game for their 2018 season.

The Sears Centre did not have their sound equipment working. Very hard to understand what was going on with the game when they did not have the speakers turned on.

We had just been there the Saturday before to a concert and it was amazing. But not this time.

Hope they get it fixed soon.

I was at the All In show. Even in Upper Bowl, I could see clearly and they allow consumer photography cameras (but not professional equip), so even in Upper Bowl I could get a good zoom and get a picture of *just * the people in the ring. It is true when they say not a bad seat in the arena.

Literally the only thing I didn't like was that we were ushered straight outside after the event, so I had no chance to go to the bathroom. Probably wouldn't want to go to the bathroom at a public arena anyway haha.

5 stars!! Quality venue and I hope more people get to enjoy shows there regardless of price point! Their upper bowl literally felt like other arenas lower bowls. Friendly staff too. A+ all around.

Took my 3 year old to see the circus here around march. The staff had us all in line in freezing cold weather for whatever reason would not allow us to make line inside. When we were finally inside I noticed all this space they could have used instead of making people wait outside to pay. Anyway once at the ticket booth I presented a Free Child pass with an adult purchase.. well of course they took it said they applied the free pass and charged me, i signed the receipt thinking okay he just said they applied the free ticket so i moved on to enjoy the show. Next thing you know I go to my bank account the next day and notice there was a charge of $54 dollars they charged my card 3 times the price! I called them and spoke with the person in charge and they said they could not do anything since I signed the damn receipt WOW well thats what i get for not looking right? but they should have been more careful when swiping a card or stop ripping people off!

This place is big. I've been here a couple times to see the US Olympic Volleyball teams play. The Sears Centre does a pretty good job hosting all the various teams. They also have concerts and hockey here and probably more.

Decent parking. Close to interstates and accessible. Seats could be a bit bigger but I am a rather large man. Lots of hotels and dining in the area. Doesn't seem to be a seat with bad line of sight. Well laid out building.
