State Farm Center to have record 17,000 capacity in 2014-2015

State Farm Center will have a record 17,000+ capacity in 2014-2015.

Current capacity: 16,618.

-Per Illini AD Mike Thomas on WDWS

This is due to the added seats in 200 Level (old C Section) from the removal of 8 entry portals.

The State Farm Center capacity will go down to around 15,000 in 2015-2016 when the lower bowl is rebuilt.
