Illinois REALTORS® in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention will get a great vantage point for tonight’s festivities featuring vice presidential nominee Mike Pence.

Illinois is toward the front of the delegate area in the Quicken Loans Center, just behind New Jersey. The arena can hold more than 20,000 people in some configurations.
