Section 213 at Allstate Arena

Tunnel Vision — In the last row of section 213 for the BSB show, and there was a lot to contend with when it came to viewing the action on the floor. Banners and flags hanging down from the top of the arena made it feel like I was watching the show through a tunnel. I couldn't help by look up at the decorations hanging from the ceiling, and it prevented me from really getting wrapped up in the performance.

Rows S, R, and Q were the last rows in the section, and for some reason are not as well angled as the rows closer to the front (less elevation between rows in Q-S), making it more difficult to see over the people in rows R and Q. Seats in the lower rows appeared to have a good height difference between each, and wish that had continued up through our row. Being in the last row does have the advantage of easy in, easy out, and the seats were fairly comfortable with a nice angle to the center of the floor, but with being so far back and all elements in my field of vision, it was frustrating.

The Upper Level Is Better Than You Think — I'm used to seeing arena shows at United Center where the upper level is really far away. The 200 level at Allstate isn't so bad for a concert. Especially when you consider the tickets are priced similar to the 300 level at United Center, these seats were a pretty good deal.

Great view.... very cramped — Loved being front row balcony but the seats allowed no leg room at all. Disappointed with that but the show was great!! (TSO)
