Home of the Illinois men’s and women’s basketball programs, the State Farm Center has garnered a special reputation across the Big Ten Conference. The electrifying atmosphere it boasts will ensure you are immersed in the passionate Illini culture from the moment you take your seat to the moment the final buzzer sounds.
The unique UFO-shaped dome of the State Farm Center makes the building near impossible to miss on the south end of campus. Located in Champaign next to Memorial Stadium, home of Illinois football, the State Farm Center has become a symbol of the University. A rich history of success brims within its walls: Countless Illini title triumphs and NBA-caliber players have graced its courts over the years. The building is also home to the Orange Krush student section, which has played its role in cementing the State Farm Center’s status as one of the most feared arenas in the league.
However, fast-paced collegiate basketball is not all that the arena hosts. In recent years, big-name artists have performed live at the State Farm Center, with shows from A Boogie wit da Hoodie, The Kid LAROI, Cody Johnson and Ludacris all taking place in recent years.
No matter what event you visit the arena for, the sights and sounds that the State Farm Center has to offer will result in a memorable experience second to none in Champaign.
