United Center

INFO

Home of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks, the United Center is the largest arena in the country.
Owner of the Blackhawks William Wirtz and owner and Chairman of the Bulls Jerry Reinsdorf partnered up in 1988 to plan an unprecedented sports and entertainment arena in Chicago. Construction began in spring of 1992 and it was opened to the public in summer of 1994.
The United Center has hosted over 200 events each year since its opening. Aside from hosting a variety of larger than life entertainers and ongoing NBA and NHL games, it has also hosted the 1996 Democratic National Convention, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament.

WHY VISIT

There’s nothing like seeing a game or a concert at the United Center. Sitting in the arena where the Chicago Bulls won NBA championships and where the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup will make you overcome with Chicago pride.
