Travel to Huskie Stadium
72 km (45 mi) to O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 43 km (26 mi) from the middle of Aurora — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Aurora has 20 venues mapped in total and a population of 180,710. The Aurora guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
At 23,595 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 23,595 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
