Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump will come March 11 to Chicago for a rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago Pavilion, just days before the March 15 Illinois primary election.
University officials confirmed the Trump campaign had rented the arena for an event that will begin at 6 p.m.
It will be the businessman and reality TV star's first visit to the state since a rally in November at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield.

This one will be interesting...
Taking it right into the backyard of the Marxists central command here in the USA. WTG Donald.
which part of Chicago?
he might want to get extra reinforcements :)
What the hell is that state these days? red, purple, blue?
Can’t wait until Trump does a rally in Madison Square Garden (NY primary is April 19) - I will be there!
Chicago is the bluest of blue.
what about the whole state?
Maybe CPAC will host a convention the day before another multi-state primary. How stupid of cpac to schedule a conference the day before a multi state conference? They should have held the conference in one of the contested states so it could double as a campaign stop. Think about that next time you dopes.
Most of the state is red. Chicago, Cook County, is so large, the rest of the state has a hard time outvoting it.
Downstate Illinois is red, but Chicago runs everything, and the people know it.
great
Just west of downtown in an old Italian neighborhood. Lots of good restaurants in the area.
UIC, former employer of Bill Ayers, is just west of the Loop.
I was told a few hours ago, by someone I trust, that the word on social media is to expect MASSIVE protests & interruptions. They are being organized as I type.
He is in the belly of the beast and in the #TrumpCloset

Here is a map that shows the last election. Whole state red, except for Cook County.
there’s still an Italian neighborhood in Chicago?
Good!! :)
but they don’t have the power in the city anymore.
not for a while.
Maybe time for Chicago to secede (or get booted out)
Isn’t that where the creepy communist Bill Ayers teaches?
I retired some years ago from working at the UIC Math Dept., and the Pavilion is a huge, cavernous auditorium shaped like a giant mushroom, or a flying saucer if you prefer. It is the location of choice where the racist Black “Reverend” Louis Farrakhan holds his rallies, an interesting juxtaposition, I must say with the Trump rally.
A short distance west of the Pavilion, the neighborhood, once off campus, becomes exceedingly seedy. Occasionally the Hood’s yutes take potshots with firearms at passing motorists heading into the City for work on the Eisenhower Expressway. Just for chuckles.
I hope Trump comes there in an armoured car with a large contingency of bodyguards. There is also a very large population of activist Palestinian and other Muslim students on campus. This location for a Trump rally makes me very nervous. Hope he has his bullet proof vest on.
