I got to visit Rockford, ILL several times to experience the one of its kind stage. These are the video clips from the 1st trip I made circa December 2006! It even includes a quick store tour.

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing! Always wanted to see a tour of Rockford while they still had the 90s remodel

Chuck E. still wearing his classic PTT outfit in 2006 is crazy! I wonder when he got his Avenger outfit.

Cool to see more glimpses of this location prior to Phase 4, like the wood paneling on the salad bar and the classic Munch poster by the restrooms. Interesting that this location is not only playing Chuck E's Variety Show at a time where they should've been playing the holiday show (unless this was anytime between the 26th and the 31st and they didn't want to listen to Christmas music anymore), but that they are playing this show when it'd been retired as the generic show for a few years by this point! But then again, I believe this location was a franchise prior to getting Phase 4 so obviously they didn't have to completely follow corporate's rules. This location was on my bucket list simply for the stage, and it was the only out of state one on there. Was so close to going to this location last year but my mother didn't want to spend nearly a quarter of a day driving (where we live, it's about two hours away) for a CEC that's out of state so we ultimately settled for La Crosse (which is about 70 mins away from where I live, and the closet I have to calling a "Local") in what ended up being the last time I went before their 2.0 (which occured around the same time as Rockford's).

I will be forever saddened that I never got a chance to see this stage in person before 2.0, especially since the Rocker Stage is my favorite CEC stage type. Thankfully there's no shortage of footage of the stage online

Wow, this store use to be 10 times smaller in phase 3. The different games are in different rooms and the showroom took up half of the restaurant! Sadly when they did phase 4 remodel they made the showroom much smaller. Did the store square footage change? It’s such a big difference in the store now. Great footage thank you. Hope you post more.

Considering it was in a strip mall.... I dont see how the footages would have changed..... Likely just seems more "OPEN" since they knocked down walls and added windows to the store front

I'm glad i grew up with a Rocker Stage at the Florence, KY location (that they had from 1991-2003, they eventually replaced it with a 2-Stage.) The Rocker Stage was a work of art... 🥲
