Why You’ll Love It
The United Center, home to both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls, stands as the largest arena in the United States. Opened in 1994, it has become a hub for more than just sports, hosting over 200 events each year, including concerts, shows, and special events. The arena was born out of a vision in 1988 when William Wirtz, owner of the Blackhawks, and Jerry Reinsdorf, chairman of the Bulls, teamed up to create a cutting-edge venue that would revolutionize the sports experience as they prepared to enter the 21st century. Their partnership resulted in a state-of-the-art arena that continues to set the stage for some of the most exciting moments in both sports and entertainment, solidifying its place as a Chicago landmark.
