Geocache Description:

Like the rest of my urban caches, this one is pretty straight forward. And if for some reason, you didn't know this venue was here, now you do. The container is typical for the series. Bring your own scribbler. Please list any concerts or events you have seen at this venue with your log. Personally, I have seen Nine Inch Nails twice here, one of which was my first concert ever. I have also seen Aerosmith. Happy caching!!

Originally named the Rosemont Horizon, Allstate Arena was first intended to be the home of the World Hockey Team, the Chicago Cougars. However, the franchise folded and the project was completed using funding from other contracts including the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. In 1999, Allstate Insurance provided $20 million in funds to renovate the building and also gained the naming rights. In addition to numerous concert events, the Allstate Arena hosts a variety of sporting events including WWE wrestling and Ultimate Fighting Champioships.
