Die-hard fans know that football and tailgating go hand-in-hand, and Chicago Rush games are no different.
Fans wishing to fire up their BBQ grills and tailgate before watching exciting AFL action are encouraged to do so in the special area set aside for tailgating in the Allstate Arena parking lot.
The tailgating area is located on the west side of the arena, and opens three hours prior to kickoff of each Rush home game.
Parking in the area is limited to the first 50 cars with grills. Those fans traveling with multiple cars are asked to park their cars without grills in the main parking lot and then join the rest of the group in the tailgate area. This helps maximize the space for tailgating.
In the event that the tailgate area fills up, the arena will open an auxiliary area in another location in the parking lot.
