Home of Northern Illinois University and an hour west of Chicago, the Dekalb Convocation Center was built in 2002. The stadium has ties to the university, but it also books non-school events, including job fairs, trade shows, and concerts. Division I Northern Illinois University teams share the venue and games at the Dekalb Convocation Center for basketball, volleyball, indoor track, gymnastics, and wrestling. The NIU Huskies men’s basketball team is the big draw in town, filling up the stadium’s 10,000 seats.
Two lobbies, each with its own concessions, are serviced by five entrances. One lobby also includes an NIU Alumni Shop and Athletics Hall of Fame. No alcohol is served in the Dekalb Convocation Center, even for non-college events.
Parking at the Dekalb Convocation Center is $3-$5. Though tailgating is allowed in the parking lot before NIU football games, it is not allowed for events at the Dekalb Convocation Center.
