State Farm Center

State Farm Center comes alive after dark, with its great white dome glowing in the night sky. The brightness within the building is symbolic of the superstars who perform under its unique roof. State Farm Center, formally known as the University of Illinois Assembly Hall, opened on March 2, 1963, and continues to attract attention for its design and construction. At four hundred feet across, it was once one of only two-edge supported domes in the world. The roof is supported by 614 miles of one-quarter inch steel wire wrapped at the base of the dome under intensive pressure. From rock shows to Broadway, family shows to Fighting Illini basketball, State Farm Center has hosted the top names in show business as well as numerous University and community events. ***DISCLAIMER*** When participating in promotions and contests for tickets to our shows, you may only win once in a 30 day period.
