Huntington Bank Pavilion Seating Chart
The Huntington Bank Pavilion (formerly FirstMerit Bank Pavilion) has a seating capacity of over 30,000, located on the man-made peninsula in Chicago, with beautiful views of Lake Michigan, and the Chicago skyline. Check out the handy seating chart below to get a better idea of the seating arrangements for this venue.
The Huntington Bank Pavilion fits around 30,000 guests across a huge lawn space along with various sections for reserved seating.
There are four seating zones within the theatre, and the lawn space is general admission. Have a look at the seating chart to get a more detailed look at each section. Be aware that lawn chairs are not permitted when the lawn is being used for an event.
For seating on the lawn, there is generally a first-come, first-served nature to the space. There are no assigned seats, but you might notice that your ticket has a seat number or a row even if you are due to sit in the lawn section. This is only for tracking purposes, so there is no need to worry about finding a specific place to sit!
Lawn General Admission
For shows that have the lawn open, lawn space is always first come, first served. Guests may notice a row or seat number on their lawn ticket, but that is only used for tracking purposes. There are no assigned seats on the lawn.
Lawn chairs are NOT permitted when the lawn is in use.
Tickets for children
Children aged 2 and under do not need a ticket to enter the Huntington Bank Pavilion. However, they must sit on a parent’s lap. Strollers are not allowed in the venue, so be sure to plan for this accordingly.
Accessible seating
Huntington Bank Pavilion is more than happy to provide reasonable accommodations to guests with accessibility needs. This includes wheelchair seating when available. Please note that such seating is available on a first come, first serve basis and may fill up if you want too long.
Accessible seating
There is a range of available accessible seats for wheelchair users in various seating sections at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island.

Restrooms
The Huntington Bank Pavilion also has ADA restrooms on site. They can be found on the north and south ends of the beachside bathrooms. They are also located on the grandstand’s west side. A private ADA restroom is located in the main trailer on the VIP patio.
Assisted listening devices
You will need to give the venue at least two days’ notice if you are in need of an assisted listening device.
Email The Huntington Bank Pavilion at [email protected] or call 312-288-3190 to arrange this.
Interpreters
As with assisted listening devices, you’ll need to give the venue a bit of time to arrange interpretation services. However, interpreters will take longer to arrange. The Huntington Bank Pavilion needs two weeks for this to be set up.
When your interpreter has been arranged, you will pick up your tickets at will call. You will also meet your interpreter here and be taken to your seats.
Interpreter services do not come with any charges. Contact the venue at the above email or phone number to start sorting out an interpreter.
Accessible parking
You’ll find accessible parking in the North Garage at Soldier’s Field parking. Guests can then board the accessible shuttle on McFetridge Drive, which will transport them to the front gate of the Huntington Bank Pavilion. The shuttles will also be available for guests to travel from the venue to the parking lot after the show.
There is also a VIP parking lot available. However, there are limited spots in the VIP parking lot. Be aware that accessible parking is subject to standard parking fees, which will be collected by parking lot operators.
Service animals
The only service animals allowed within the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island during events are registered working dogs. These dogs must be individually trained in tasks relating to their handler’s disability.
Dogs must stay on a harness or leash at all times. The only exception to this is if it interferes with their work. Exceptions can also be made if the handler can’t hold onto a leash or harness. If this is the case, the service dog must be controlled at all times via signals, voice control, and so on.
