The UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) Pavilion is a 6,958-seat multi-purpose arena, located at 525 S. Racine Street on the West Side in Chicago, Illinois, USA, which opened in 1982. It is home to the University of Illinois at Chicago Flames basketball team and the former home of the Chicago Sky WNBA team. It is the home of the Windy City Rollers of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.[3] From 2004-2006 it also housed the Chicago Storm Major Indoor Soccer League team before they moved into the newly constructed Sears Centre.

The UIC Pavilion was renovated in 2001, and is rented for many functions and concerts. It is accessible from the CTA Blue Line Racine stop, located one block north of the Pavilion. It is also accessible from the #7 Harrison Bus and the #60 Blue Island/26th Bus. It also hosted UIC's ice hockey team when they competed in the CCHA as well as the 1984, 1999, and 2000 Horizon League men's basketball conference tournament.

The UIC Pavilion was the home arena for Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW Wrestling in the late 80's and early 90's. It was the site of 3 PPV events: Starrcade 87, Chi-Town Rumble and Halloween Havoc 90.

The UIC Pavilion also hosted the AIBA 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, which was the largest AIBA World Championships in its history.

When used as a concert venue the arena seats up to 10,075 for end-stage shows, 7,924 for a 3/4-house shows, and 5,878 for 1/2-house shows.
