The Odeum Expo Center Tickets

Seating at The Odeum’s South Hall was designed to accommodate a range of events, from sports and boxing to concerts. The South Hall housed about 4,000 seats, with 1,400 fixed seats and 2,600 floor chairs. An upper mezzanine could add roughly 1,000 bleacher seats, bringing capacity to about 5,000 for certain events, and up to around 5,500 for specific boxing or concert configurations. The North Hall offered additional exhibit space at approximately 21,000 square feet, complementing the overall ~130,000 square feet of total space across the complex. With on-site parking for roughly 2,000 cars, guests typically paid the best available price per car per day, paid in cash. The Odeum’s location, just southwest of O’Hare International Airport, made driving the most reliable way to reach the venue, as public transit options were more limited.
