With beautiful downtown Chicago as a backdrop, the Illinois Center full-sized indoor basketball court provides a dramatic setting for your next game of pickup basketball. Our lovingly restored court is the best in the Loop, making it the perfect location for shooting a few quick baskets before work, during lunch, or in the afternoon. We host everything from shootarounds and monitored open runs to our weekly basketball league.
