Illinois order brief
Published local guides: Champaign, Chicago, Joliet, Moline, Naperville, Peoria, Rockford, Springfield.
First decision
State Farm Center, the University of Illinois basketball arena, holds 15,544 seats after its 2014-2016 renovation, a fixed capacity ceiling event planners use to size concession, check-in, and gate crews for a game or concert night.
Published references
Role references currently span $30.50–$70.50/hr. Each number below links to the city row that publishes it.
Worksite evidence
Price a Chicago assignment against the city rule before applying an Illinois-wide assumption. The city's official minimum-wage page says coverage can attach after two hours of work within city limits during a two-week period, so even a single McCormick Place load-in may qualify. The employing agency should verify the current rate, employer coverage, tipped treatment, and hours for the actual shift before payroll is finalized.
The Rialto Square Theatre, the self-described 'Jewel of Joliet,' opened May 24, 1926 and is in its centennial year in 2026 with an active touring calendar; the house seats 1,966 (1,125 main floor, 784 upper, plus pit and ADA), so usher, bar, and merch shifts cluster tightly around evening curtains.
The John Deere Classic, a PGA Tour event, runs July 1 through 5, 2026 (competition rounds July 2-5) at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, just east of Moline, a multi-day gallery, hospitality, and parking operation across a golf course that draws on the whole Quad Cities crew pool at once.
