Crystal Lake, IL
My 1st thought is the Admirals and the old Mecca arena.

Quoted from goatdan:We would have the show on ice?
Gary and I were actually hired to run a tournament there that ended with people playing Guitar Hero on the big screen a number of years ago. It was bad ass, although the group that hired us totally stiffed us on pay.
I really like that arena. It has a lot more character than the Bradley Center, which is a big, bland box.
At one point, the Bradley Center also tried to get us to host the show there. Not this year though.Being honest, unless that space has changed, it's like four run down mid sized buildings a field apart in the middle of no where. I went there for an arcade auction a few years ago and got lost finding it.
I was at that arcade auction too. Was that the one with all the ball bowler pieces in one of the rooms?
Quoted from Deaconblooze:Solved.
Exactly
Quoted from goatdan:Oh man, you guys are funny. Not everything is meant to be a hint!
It's downtown! Those are Usinger meats! Got it!
Quoted from vdojaq:It's downtown! Those are Usinger meats! Got it!
I was right! Usinger is just a few blocks from the Wisconsin Center! 
Quoted from Fortytwo:Can't get enough burban barrel stout.

Quoted from goatdan:I'm interested too, but no way it was that big. We won't know for a bit.
Yes, please keep us in the loop on attendance. I really believe you are going to be mildly surprised at the final #'s. Well, Saturday anyway. Sunday might be a disappointment due to the ice storm that came through.
Quoted from Whysnow:combined with the purposefully hot tap from the bubblers, someone should get kicked in the junk...
A true cheesehead, calling a water fountain a bubbler!

Quoted from s1500:Does anyone remember the vendor they had that brought empty, unpainted arcade cabinets? IIRC they were in Wisconsin. Does anyone have their contact info?(website, etc)
I believe it is prince arcades in bolingbrook IL . He spams the shit out of Chicago Craigstlist with his crap cabinets. I hope you looked that those cabinets are not real wood.
