AEW All Out May Not Be At Now Arena
Added 2023-03-23 18:09:21 +0000 UTCAEW All Out is a Chicago area tradition, and that will continue, Fightful has learned.
Every year (sans the pandemic 2020 Daily's Place year), the AEW All Out pay-per-view has emanated from the nearby Hoffman Estates at the NOW Arena, formerly the Sears Centre Arena. This has been a tradition dating back to even before All Elite Wrestling existed, when the All In PPV sold out the arena. However, sources familiar with the situation claim that that could end -- sort of.
Fightful Select has learned that there have been discussions of the show taking place in the heart of Chicago at the United Center. AEW has sold out two shows at the arena already, with The First Dance and Forbidden Door both taking place there.
We're told that AEW may still run Hoffman Estates, and the NOW Arena. They held Dynamite, Dark and Rampage tapings in the past as well.
Any venue isn't official until AEW has confirmed it.

2023-03-25 01:33:44 +0000 UTCThis is the important question!
2023-03-24 02:49:00 +0000 UTCTBH they should do dynamite and Rampage at Wintrust Arena and All Out at the United Center. Hoffman estates is peaceful and quiet and perfect for locals that have a car, but not really the ideal destination for any out of town fans.

2023-03-23 23:21:38 +0000 UTC? Okay

2023-03-23 23:03:35 +0000 UTCThe Thanksgiving show has been at Wintrust Arena Downtown the past 2 years.

2023-03-23 23:01:48 +0000 UTCDouble or Nothing has always been in Vegas. So actually 1/2 of the PPV's are in the same locations.

2023-03-23 22:58:42 +0000 UTCWith the assumption that Punk would be there, of course. Also, the assumption that Danielson would be there...and fingers were crossed for the return of Kenny. Lots of factors went into that sell out.

2023-03-23 21:05:42 +0000 UTCPunk wasn't at Forbidden Door and they sold it out just fine.

2023-03-23 19:27:32 +0000 UTCI wonder if they would do dynamite/rampage at NOW and the ppv at united as they have done that with a few shows now running the smaller venue for TV. Or they could always just save NOW for the Thanksgiving show and let united have all out weekend

2023-03-23 19:07:01 +0000 UTCHave Dynamite and Rampage at the NOW, All Out at United. Fan Fest idk, I imagine it might get moved to somewhere close to the United since it’s the day before

2023-03-23 19:03:44 +0000 UTCI don’t see them ever getting to big stadiums in our lifetime
Chris
2023-03-23 18:51:08 +0000 UTCNice area, actually, but yes... logistically challenged. It's as much "Chicago" as Ft. Worth is to Dallas.

2023-03-23 18:39:01 +0000 UTCBooking the United Center without Punk being there is very risky IMO so guess that means Punk probably going to return?
Brian Bayless
2023-03-23 18:32:30 +0000 UTCThis is definitely going to stir up more rumors that Punk is returning. Overall, moving to the United center feels more big time for the PPV. Good move I think

2023-03-23 18:32:08 +0000 UTCGoing back to The UC, eh? Must have some local talent to help sell it out.

2023-03-23 18:30:41 +0000 UTCHoffman Estates is a really nice area.
Kurtis Allen
2023-03-23 18:29:55 +0000 UTCNot a fan of 1/4th of AEW PPV’s exclusively being somewhere. Even if it was where I lived every year I feel like that’s lame and doesn’t give other fans the chance to go

2023-03-23 18:28:49 +0000 UTCAew is heading in the right direction booking nba/nhl arenas for their ppvs. Next Is big stadiums. Forbidden door would be great in a stadium but the rogers centre is not the same anymore.
Super Dave Osborne
2023-03-23 18:26:38 +0000 UTCMakes sense to me, run the bigger more accessible building for the PPV and do Dynamite and Rampage at the NOW arena
2023-03-23 18:22:33 +0000 UTCIt's a nice area, but also, no ubers
Fightful Select
2023-03-23 18:19:25 +0000 UTCAny update if the ropes last night AEW used are here to stay?
2023-03-23 18:18:07 +0000 UTCAEW getting hotter should be at United Center.
Joel Allison
2023-03-23 18:16:19 +0000 UTCI've heard Hoffman estates is a bad area & there is literally no Uber or Lyft trucks to take you back
2023-03-23 18:15:58 +0000 UTCat that point AEW should host All In at the United Center the next time
