Rosemont Theatre is a concert hall in Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The venue, which has seats for 4,300 people and opened in 1995, hosts many different musical artists and shows. It is located near O'Hare International Airport, Allstate Arena and Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.It was the venue for the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 1st 2006.

Mayor of Rosemont, Bradley Stephens, would like to sell the site to the state of Illinois to use as a casino in an effort to gain revenue. The idea was initially pitched in September 2007, and again in May 2008, to lawmakers in Springfield who have expressed interest in the state-owned casino as they are still seeking ways to support a $31 million public works program advanced by Govenor Rod Blagojevich.
