The Allstate Arena is a sports stadium in Rosemont, Illinois. It was originally named the Rosemont Horizon and was constructed in 1979.
The stadium is home to the Chicago Wolves hockey club, the Chicago Rush arena football team, and DePaul University men's basketball. The arena was meant to be the home of the World Hockey Association Chicago Cougars. However, the sports franchise folded even as the stadium was under construction.
Besides the sports events, many other events such as concerts also take place at the arena every year.
As far as Wrestling is concerned the arena is all set to host Wrestle Mania 22 on April 2, 2006. It has also hosted the Survivor Series (1989), the WWE Judgment Day (1998), the WWE Backlash (2001), the Wrestling Classic and the WCW Spring Stampede (1994).
The stadium's current capacity for basketball is 17,500 and for football and hockey is 16,000.
