Towable Bleachers for Nike Tournament of Champions at McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois

We’re proud to support major sporting events across the Midwest and beyond with reliable, high-quality spectator seating.

For the Nike Tournament of Champions — Nike’s premier basketball event — we delivered and installed 12 units of our 10-row towable bleachers at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois. Known as North America’s (and the Western Hemisphere’s) largest convention center, McCormick Place hosted the tournament across its expansive North Hall, Lower North, and Lakeside areas, filling over a million square feet with top high school teams, intense competition, and enthusiastic crowds.

Each unit features a durable 45-foot-long aluminum design with galvanized guardrails for enhanced safety and stability. The towable system allows for quick setup (often in about 10 minutes per unit after positioning), making it ideal for large-scale indoor events like this. Together, the 12 bleachers provided comfortable seating for up to 3,276 spectators, ensuring fans had an optimal viewing experience throughout the multi-day tournament without disrupting the venue’s layout or flooring.

This project highlights the versatility of our towable bleacher fleet for indoor convention centers and high-profile basketball events. Whether it’s youth tournaments, corporate gatherings, or community sports, our bleachers deliver code-compliant safety, easy transport, and efficient installation.
