Upcoming IHSEA Finals at NIU

Information for Spectators

Spectators are welcome for all IHSEA tournaments at NIU. We encourage you to come cheer for your team!

• In the arena: There’s some limited spectator space in the NIU Esports Arena in Altgeld 100.
• In the ballroom spectator gallery: If the arena is full, don’t worry! Upstairs in the Altgeld Hall Ballroom (Room 200), we offer a dedicated spectator area. Games will be livestreamed on the ballroom’s projector, with room for hundreds of people to watch.
