Colin NelsonJanuary 27, 2016Went for The NBA game. Beers were great, be sure to check out the Michael Jordan and BlackHawks statues at gate 7! One of the greatest stadiums in professional sports!

Paulo SantosSeptember 18, 2014Hands down the best sports experience without even watching a game. Who doesn't want to see the G.O.A.T. at United Center!? Don't forget to take a pic w your best Jumpman impression.
RENJanuary 19, 2018great entertainment throughout the game. we had nosebleed seats that were just fine. we could view the game without a problem. better than Staples Center in LA
Mark RobinsonApril 9, 2018Well organised. Uber drop off/pick up zones easily accessible and not to far. Food/drink was a little pricey ($12 premium 🍺) - went to go watch the Bulls.
The Laver Cup was a fantastic three-day tennis event, which was wonderful to watch @ the United Center. Food and beverage is hugely over-priced & parking was $29 per day, for EACH time you entered!
Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 8, 2013Be in your seat before puck drop to experience one of the greatest traditions in all of sports... Blackhawks fans show their patriotic pride by cheering through the national anthem.
Andrew CJanuary 10, 2016Feels like an old school arena, such big bulky concourses with concrete everywhere you turn... but with so many upgrades and awesome concession options, it's a top notch arena- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 8, 2013The pregame video showcasing the Blackhawks' rich history is commonly referred to as "The Orchard." Early versions incorporated a track by that name from the "Phenomenon" movie soundtrack.
John CassilloJanuary 25, 2020Great venue to catch a game. Not a bad seat in the house and the crowd gets into it. Awesome environment - especially if you’re a neutral fan just attending for fun.
Honey Butter Fried chicken is amazing. Make sure to walk around the 100 level to see everything they have to offer, whether it’s ballon hats or a live broadcast.
The house that Michael built. Great place to watch Chicago's Championship teams the Bulls and the Blackhawks. You won't see teams that suck like the cubs here.
Chicago TribuneAugust 20, 2015One of our top-rated shows for this summer, with 4 stars, is Kurios - Cabinet of Curiosities. Created by the world-renowed Cirque du Soleil, this is definitely a must-see event. Through 9/20, $35. Read more
vanessa buenrostroMarch 23, 2016It's a great place to see your favorite basketball hockey team play like Chicago bulls or the Chicago Blackhawks or Disney on ice for the kids! LOVE the atmosphere and the energy the crowd brings!- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 7, 2013Bow down before two of the greatest players to ever lace up skates, Hall of Famers Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita! The life-sized bronzed statues are located on the NE corner along Madison St.
The Blackhawks announced that hockey legends Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita would receive bronze statues in their honor outside of the United Center during the 2011–12 NHL season.
Daniel LopezApril 28, 2017The new atrium is amazing! The store is huge! And a lot of classic hot spots for Bulls fans. A must go attraction if your are a sports fan
Kenneth (iamfob)December 22, 2013If you are basketball fans, you must attend at least one Bulls home game at United Center. Make sure you come to the arena during the daytime to take a picture of the Michael Jordan statue.
David KollerMarch 6, 2016The house that MJ built. Bring your credit card. The UC ain't cheap. Come early. Eat at the restaurants that crowd the neighborhood to the east. You will eat much better for the same price.
Let's Go Hawks! Skip the lines and get tickets in the club level. It's worth it. Say Hi to Benny the Bull for me too. He's the best mascot in the NBA.
Rebecca PlaineOctober 10, 2018Beware of ticket scammers— out of town fan & bought off craigslist. Never had an issue with doing that in Detroit but got fake tickets- security told us it happens very frequently!- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 8, 2013"Do do-do-do do-do-do..." When the Blackhawks light the lamp, the crowd sings along to "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis -- a tradition that began during the 2008-09 season.
Sweta MohapatraFebruary 26, 2017Skip the lines on the ground floor for concessions and bathrooms, the same options are available on the third floor. Great acoustics for concert events- Everyone knows about the MJ statue outside, but if you're inside on the ground level make sure to check out the new Scottie Pippen statue.
Daniel Marco FernandezNovember 5, 2016We didn't get to see the MJ23 Statue since it is under reconstruction. It will be back within mid-season 16-17. However, you get a good view of the city.
Always at great atmosphere at Blackhawks game with the best National Anthem tradition in all of sport. Of course you need a second mortgage to afford the food and drink!
Jake SmithDecember 5, 2012Catch some of Benny The Bull's antics. He always gives 100%, whether it's dancing on the court or running through the stands (literally). Best mascot in the NBA.
Luis CastedoNovember 15, 2019By far the best NHL venue I've ever been to. I was in a private box so I can't give my opinion about the food or drinks on sale,
TashaSeptember 30, 2012I hate the United Center as a concert venue. Near impossible to get a "great seat", but for the $, 100 section to the side of the stage is better seating than main floor unless you're front row.- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 13, 2013For those who just saw a win, we salute you! The Blackhawks' tradition of raising their sticks at center ice began on Dec. 23, 2007, after a 3-2 victory against Edmonton in front of a packed house.
- ESPNApril 18, 2012On the east side, you’ll be greeted by MJ’s statue. But to say hello to Blackhawk legends such as Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, go to the north side, where the old Chicago Stadium used to be.
Patty LynnApril 6, 2014Awesome place! If it's your first Blackhawks or Bulls game, you can stop by Guest Services and get a free certificate to commemorate the occasion. :)
Team CocoJune 10, 2012"Some say that $14 Angus Beef Burger is overpriced, but I say that you've got to dish out the big bucks if you want the 47th best burger in Chicago." - Conan O'Brien
Observation: For hockey games, you walk right through "security" with a smile. For NBA games, you get a handheld metal detector and a dirty look. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you come to the game early, grab a table in the Kettle One Club Bar on the concourse level. You can order off a smaller menu, and you do not need to pay the Club membership fee. Great food, decent- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 23, 2013Blackhawks alumni sign autographs for fans during pregame and the 1st and 2nd intermissions of every game (outside Section 114).
TT isTamiApril 8, 2016Great seats matter your seat. It's made for sports for 360° view so, concerts are great.
Jonathan FerreraDecember 18, 2014It's easiest to approach from the north when looking for parking. Damen tends to get clogged with people coming from the highway.
A must go for any sports fan. As the home of the Bulls and Blackhawks, this is a very decorated arena with an atmosphere that is second to none.
awesome stadium! Great food and drinks found on main floor. everything is updated and pristine.
Acceleration NapervilleJune 15, 2011Dream of playing here? Increase your vertical! Be sure to jump with your knees behind your toes. This activates your glutes and your hamstrings, using all of your legs instead of just part of them! Read more
Great venue overall! Sight lines are good from any seat and amenities are good as well!
Welcome to "The House That Jordan Built"! You're standing in one of the most electrifying venues in all of pro sports. 6 Bulls championship banners and 5 Blackhawks championship banners hang above you- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 23, 2013Grab a drink without missing a second of the action at the Don Julio Tequila View Bar (Section 323).
- Chicago BlackhawksFebruary 13, 2013Check out the silent auction tables located at Sections 104 and 333 for your chance to bid on player-autographed items. All proceeds go to Chicago Blackhawks Charities.
Best quality and quantity food is the sweet baby rays restaurant on the 100 level. Get the pulled pork sandwich.
The house that Jordan built. Dinner for four is not economical. Eat before you arrive. For the same price you can get a nice dinner nearby.
