Accessibility

Accessible parking stalls are available inside Lot A located across the street on Cermak. Accessible parking is based on a first come first park. Once accessible parking lots fill, patrons are directed to the closest available general parking area.

Patrons with a State issued accessible parking placard or license plate will be required to display the parking placard in the front window of their vehicle so it is clearly present. The Wintrust Arena honors out-of-state accessible placards to gain access to accessible parking.

Individuals, who have mobility difficulties are eligible to purchase accessible seating. Also, guests with service dogs, which cannot fit under a non-accessible seat or lie safely in the aisle, are also permitted to purchase accessible seats. Up to three companion tickets may be exchanged with each accessible ticket. If adjacent seats have already been issued, the companion seats will be placed in the closest available location.

Tickets for accessible seats may be sold to individuals who require accessible seating themselves or to someone purchasing on their behalf. People with disabilities who do not require the specific features of accessible seating but merely have a preference for them are not entitled to purchase accessible seats. We ask you to be respectful of those who truly need accessible seating. 

Accessible seating is available on each level. Accessible seats are reached via the escalator or the elevator originating from the first floor/lobby. Floor Level Seating is accessible to wheelchair users and other persons with mobility impairments through the main entrance to the arena bowl.

ADA and Access Vehicle drop-off and pick-up at the Wintrust Arena is located on the 200 East Cermak Road side of the arena.

All doors are ADA-accessible.

KultureCity has partnered with Wintrust Arena to make the Wintrust Arena and all of its hosted programs and events sensory-inclusive. This new initiative will promote an accommodating and positive experience for all guests and fans with sensory issue that visits the Wintrust Arena. Before attending an event, families can download the free KultureCity App where one can view what sensory features are available and where they can access them. Also, on the App is the Social Story, which will provide a preview of what to expect while enjoying an event at Wintrust Arena.

Sensory items available to you or a family member include headphones, fidget mesh, fidget ball, feeling thermometer, and KCVIP lanyard. The lanyard will help our staff better identify and entertain guests with sensory needs. If you, or a family member, have sensory sensitivity needs, please visit Guest Services located on the second-floor concourse of the arena. It will be our pleasure to assist you.

People with disabilities may bring their service animals into all areas where attendees are generally allowed. Service animals include guide dogs, signal dogs or other animals that have been individually trained to provide service to an individual with a disability. Any animal that poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others shall be required to leave.

We are able to provide sign language interpretation upon request free of charge. To request sign language interpretation, please contact the Wintrust Arena at least 10 working days prior to the event at contact@wintrustarena.com.

If you require accessible seating, state this need to the ticketing source. The ticket seller can sell tickets for accessible seating, thus avoiding the need to exchange inaccessible seat tickets. 

Water fountains are located throughout the building. They can be found directly next to the restrooms on each floor and feature fountains and water bottle refilling stations.
