Wintrust Arena Seating by Hussey Seating Company

Overview

Wintrust Arena at McCormick Place, home to DePaul University's basketball teams and the WNBA's Chicago Sky, is a premier multi-purpose facility in Chicago. To meet the diverse needs of this arena, Pelli Clarke & Partners collaborated with Hussey Seating Company to create a versatile, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing seating solution.

Pelli Clarke & Partners needed seating that provided comfort, durability, and flexibility for various events. The seating had to blend with the architectural vision, maximize capacity, and ensure comfort and accessibility for spectators.

Hussey Seating provided several key products:

Quattro Series: Used on both the MXP telescopic platform and in fixed seating, chosen for its comfort, durability, and sleek design.
MAXAM+ Platform with Metro Chairs: Selected for the lower bowl, offering modern design and ergonomic comfort.
Fusion Chairs with Quattro Seats: Used to maintain a cohesive look throughout the arena.

These seating solutions offered ergonomic comfort, easy reconfiguration for different events, and a modern aesthetic that enhanced the arena's adaptability.

The collaboration resulted in positive feedback for the seating's comfort, design, and amenities like cupholders and drink tables. The new seating at Wintrust Arena seamlessly accommodates diverse events, enhancing the experience for both attendees and organizers. This upgrade has helped position Wintrust Arena as a top destination for events in Chicago.
