The Chicago Rockstars are an American Basketball Association 2006 expansion franchise that will be based out of Chicago. The team was originally to play its home games at the Emil and Patricia Jones Convocation Center of Chicago State University but, upon learning that the former would not be completed on time, elected to play at Northeastern Illinois University. As of February 1, 2007, the Rockstars have cancelled the remainder of their season, citing finacial difficulties. According to sources who work for the team, they currently are unable to pay neither players nor staff. [1]

The team has not folded, however; they are actively pursuing several basketball leagues, and will make a decision in the near future. [2]
