The concourses, also cramped and confusingly meandering, give the impression they were designed by a drunken five year old. Its less than 30 years old, but gives every impression that its twice or three times that.
The main parking lot is so small and cramped that its one of those where you have to wait for everyone around you to leave first before you can go. If you can't park there, you have to park in neighboring lots and take a shuttle to the venue. Rosemont (the city) is a seedy dump, and public transportation from Chicago is a royal pain.
I've been to a lot of concerts in a lot of different venues in a lot of different cities, and, without question, Allstate Arena is far and away the worst.

DON'T HOLD BACK, LUKE! LOL It's nice that someone is giving a good warning, though. I always want to hear the warnings before I consider my course of action. However: I seriously doubt a drunken five year old could have accomplished that design... I am just saying... The drunken 5 year olds I know are lazy bast*rds...
