Many of the stories indidate some frequently rumored sites such as the Finkl Steel or Morton Salt locations. The newest rumor emerges from the Fox News Chicago report that indicates the University's "preferred location is Fullerton and Sheffield". Having an on campus arena at Fullerton and Sheffield would have an immediate impact on the number of students attending. It is important to know that DePaul owns a large portion of the land as indicated below. It would be a tight squeeze for a 8,000-10,000 seat arena, but could fit. Admittedly, there will be many uphill battles should DePaul pursue the location at Fullerton and Sheffield. Stay tuned as more rumors are sure to follow after the Board of Trustees meets in May.

The Fullerton/Sheffield site could work for a 10,000 seat arena. Not sure they'd tear down the academic building with the public library and Sage Medical Group, but the welcome center could easily be redone elsewhere. They could also purchase the Little Sisters of the Poor site across the street from campus and build there. They could also purchase the former New City YMCA site.
