Wintrust Arena Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Chicago’s Premier Arena

Wintrust Arena, a state-of-the-art venue in Chicago’s McCormick Place, hosts basketball games, concerts, and major events. With a capacity of 10,000, it offers intimate views and modern amenities. Here’s how to navigate its seating chart for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 101-124): Closest to the action, ideal for basketball and concerts. Center sections (110-115) provide unobstructed views, while corners may have slight angle limitations.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 201-224): Elevated but budget-friendly. Rows 1-5 in the upper bowl still offer clear sightlines, but higher rows may feel distant for smaller events.
• Floor Seats: Premium access for concerts and courtside thrills for games. Note: Flat floor setups may obscure views for shorter attendees.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Sections 106-109 or 116-119 (lower bowl center) for balanced sound and visibility. Avoid extreme side sections (101-105, 120-124) for skewed stage views.
• Basketball: Sections 112-113 (mid-court) for full-court views. VIP sideline seats offer player proximity but higher prices.

VIP & Accessibility

• Luxury Suites: Private boxes with catering and premium sightlines—ideal for corporate events.
• Accessible Seating: Available on all levels with companion seats. Contact the box office for arrangements.

Pro Tips

Use 3D seat maps (via TicketHold) to preview views. For budget buyers, upper bowl rows 1-5 deliver value, while splurging on lower bowl center maximizes the experience. Check for obstructed views behind stages or scoreboards during events.
