Home Teams: Chicago Bulls (NBA), Chicago Blackhawks (NHL)
While the Chicago Bulls actually won their first three NBA championships at the old Chicago Stadium, the United Center is known as “The House That Jordan Built.” This claim to fame is driven home by a dramatic statue outside the stadium that depicts the greatest basketball player of all time flying through the air, mid-dunk. Along with paying witness to the talents of Michael Jordan and his mighty Bulls of the 1990s, the United Center is also home to the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the Original Six hockey teams of the NHL. The venue hosts all regular season and playoff Bulls and Blackhawks home games, as well as numerous concerts, family events, and other sporting competitions. The United Center contains plenty of places to eat and stores where you can purchase team or event merchandise.
The United Center has many different seating options for games and events, including premium seating areas. Find out which tickets are available for your game or event on TicketX using the seating chart that lists possible seating options. The arena possesses an upper tier, a lower tier, and (for basketball and some concerts) floor and courtside seats, with prices generally rising the closer you sit to the action.
Visitors can access the United Center via public transportation or driving their own vehicle.
The CTA buses #19 (express, only on game days) or #20 from Madison (accessible via the Orange, Green, Purple, Brown subway train lines) run to the United Center. A taxi can also get you to the venue.
It is possible to drive your own vehicle to the United Center, but traffic can build up quickly on game and event days, meaning that it is best to plan an early arrival at the venue to avoid disappointment.
