I attended my very first All Elite Wrestling event this past weekend and it was fantastic! AEW Revolution! I literally lost my voice from cheering so much during majority of the event at Wintrust Arena. And being that the event was held in the heart of Chicago Illinois; it was a relief for me because I got the chance to catch the train to the Wintrust Arena.
I told one of the other watchers sitting next to me that it was such a relief not driving all the way to Allstate Arena – Rosemont Illinois, which is where I watch majority of the World Wrestling Entertainment events that come to the area. When driving I literally choose to leave early in order to beat the congested traffic in the parking lot, filled with drivers that are very eager to leave.
I felt that I lucked up with the seating I found off of StubHub; paying no more than $70 and ending up near the entrance ramp with a closer eye on the wrestlers in comparison to past events. But then again All Elite Wrestling performs at smaller venues than World Wrestling Entertainment which is a much larger promotion.

Purchased this Chicago-themed All Elite Wrestling shirt at the event. Cannot wait to wear it.

Yikes! One of the videos didn’t upload.
Is there no public transport that would take you to Allstate Arena?
There is transportation, but I have no patience to deal with it because it is a train long ride, then I’d have to catch an Uber to Allstate Arena a few miles away. Wintrust was a one shot deal.
