Section 216 at Allstate Arena

I sat in Section 215 Row E Seat 54 for the BSB, 98 Degrees, B2M show in July. My seat was just to the left of the railing at the end of the section, but had a great angle to see both of the stages with relative ease. When I got to the seat, I was initially worried that it would be right in the middle of my view, but I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't impact my sight lines to either of the two stages set up at the Allstate Arena. I was also treated to a good amount of extra legroom between my seat and the railing, so it was great to stretch out and have that extra space for comfort. Although had I been sitting here for Depaul Basketball or Chicago Wolves hockey, that railing probably would have been infuriating for watching the action at the near end of the arena. The section was very large (54 seats in my row), but is divided into three areas by the two aisles that run down through all the rows, and my seat was just 5 rows from the aisle on my right making it easy to get in and out in spite of the large number of seats.

I liked the view. But I didn’t need to see the performer up close. I enjoyed not being too close to the speakers. But leaving is difficult. It’s as though you’re in an attic and there’s only one way in and one way out, unless you cross under the railing of the next section.

If you run hot, this sect/row is for you. Strong wind from the vent the whole concert. Super tall people sat in front of us but otherwise would have been a clear view
