Sears Centre Arena

The Sears Centre is an 11,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a northwest suburb, 25 miles from Chicago. The arena has 43 luxury suites on two separate levels. It was estimated to attract over 750,000 visitors annually.

Since 2016, the arena has been home to the Windy City Bulls, the Chicago Bulls' affiliate in the NBA G League.

The Sears Centre is located near the former site of the Poplar Creek Music Theater. Food services are provided by Levy Restaurants.

History
In 2011, the Village of Hoffman Estates took over ownership of the arena after Ryan Companies US, Inc. walked away from the arena due to the arena's lack of success. However, since the village took over the arena and hired Global Spectrum to manage it, the arena has shown improvements.

The naming rights to the arena wasn't affected by Sears Holdings bankruptcy in 2018.
