DISCOVER CHICAGO’S HOTTEST SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, LOCATED RIGHT BY McCORMICK PLACE. Wintrust Arena is an exciting 10,000-seat sports and entertainment venue located at The Collection at McCormick Square complex. An intimate space with a floor area of 18,000 square feet, Wintrust Arena offers a unique Chicago venue option for meeting planners. Designed by renowned architects Pelli Clark Pelli and Moody Nolan, the contemporary Wintrust Arena connects via skybridges to the 40-story Marriott Marquis Chicago and the AAA Four-Diamond Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. One of Wintrust Arena’s most dramatic design elements is the roof that swells upward over the venue’s seating, an homage by the architects to Chicago landmarks like the Auditorium Theatre and Union Station. The arena’s transparent facade gives passersby a peek at the building’s energy, with the main entrance located at the corner of Cermak Road and Indiana Avenue. Serving as the home court of Chicago’s DePaul University Blue Demons men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the Chicago Sky WNBA team, Wintrust Arena also hosts a year-round calendar of events ranging from sporting events and concerts to family shows and conventions. Meeting planners can book Wintrust Arena for uses that include general sessions or closing events for a convention (such as a concert or party). You are only limited by your imagination. Wintrust Arena also offers beautifully appointed luxury suites across two levels that are available for hospitality or event purposes. Suites include catering and private bars and restrooms, and are dependent on availability. Wintrust Arena is a welcome addition to the burgeoning McCormick Square district, and it has upped the excitement factor in Chicago’s newest entertainment district. It’s just one more reason to plan an event near McCormick Place, where a booming dining and nightlife scene that includes everything from craft breweries to a growing selection of diverse restaurants is just steps away.
