AEW Considering Switching Venue of Upcoming All Out PPV



-- AEW has held All Out in the Chicago area since its inception and while that will continue this year, it looks like the promotion is considering a switch in venue, first reported by fightfulselect.com. Apart from the pandemic stricken year 2020, AEW has held All Out at the NOW Arena (formerly Sears Centre) with a capacity just over 10,000 and it was actually the venue of All In before AEW was even launched.

-- AEW officials have been in discussions to move All Out from the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates and into the United Center in Chicago proper. They company has previously held two shows at the United Center with The First Dance and Forbidden Door both selling out. It is believed that the reason for this move would be capacity as the United Center - home of the NBA's Bulls and the NHL's Blackhawks - seats well over 20,000. Even if AEW makes this switch, it is believed they are still very much interested in holding events at the NOW Center, possibly Dynamite the week of All Out.
