Guide to State Farm Center: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois, is the iconic domed arena at 1800 S 1st St that hosts Illinois Fighting Illini basketball, blockbuster concerts, comedy tours and family spectacles. A major renovation refreshed the midcentury landmark with upgraded sightlines, a modern sound system and a center-hung video board, plus premium clubs and expanded concourses. The building’s flexible staging, from end stage to in-the-round, lets productions scale comfortably, so big shows feel massive and smaller events feel intimate.

Capacity lands around 15,500 for hoops and increases for concerts, with bowl-style seating that keeps you close to the floor. For stand-up, end-stage configurations and large IMAG screens deliver punchline-perfect views, and acoustics stay crisp across the lower and upper levels. On-site campus parking, clear entry points along First Street and accessible seating throughout make arrival simple.
