The venue is easy to navigate and has plenty of parking at a cheaper rate than most stadiums. I took my guy to his first major league hockey game and we had a blast! It was very memorable and such a perfect way to end his first day in Chicago. I also couldn't believe my luck at finding an amazing Blackhawks leather jacket that was on sale!! Seriously couldn't believe my luck! Drinks and food are on par with other stadiums as far as price, quality, and options go. One of the cleaner stadiums I've been to as well.

My friend and I recently traveled to Chicago to attend the NCAA Men's Basketball Midwest Regional…read moreSemi-Finals & Finals (also known as the March Madness Sweet 16 & Elite 8). Every year, we choose a random venue and city to attend, and for our first time in years of this tradition, we decided to check out the United Center and Chicago. We went on a Friday to see two Sweet 16 basketball games (Michigan vs. Alabama and Iowa State vs. Tennessee) and then returned again on a Sunday to see the Elite 8 basketball game (Michigan vs. Tennessee) with the winner heading to Indiana for the Final Four. The games were electric, the United Center was a welcoming site, and it was easy to travel to and from (in general). We thought it was strange upon our arrival that the bag policy didn't allow clear bags that were a tad too big but it did allow unclear bags if small enough. We wish the American Express Lounge was open during our visit but I guess that is only during regular sporting events. The Uber Zone was also a bit complicated to figure out, but we eventually did. All in all, the entertainment in the concourses including great photo opportunities, the many food locations, and great merchandise locations. The United Center is an indoor arena on the Near West Side of Chicago and is home to the Bulls (NBA) and Blackhawks (NHL). Clearly, United Airlines is the corporate sponsor. It holds 23,500 people. There are 27 unique concessions restaurants located in the United Center including barbecue, chicken, pizza, Mexican, and other options. There are specific locations available for gluten-free and vegetarian food options, too. Some of the highlighted restaurants include Rocky's Bar, Queenie's Supper Club, FanDuel Lounge, Pepsi Grab N Go (and The Dashery & 4-Star Markets), and member's only dining like Chicago Stadium Club on the Lexus Club Level and Ketel One Club. For a special event, this location was great for the NCAA basketball tournament! I would certainly consider coming back to the United Center again in the future.

From the moment you walk through the gates, the charm is unmistakable--brick walls, hand-operated scoreboard, and the famous ivy that covers the outfield walls create a setting that feels timeless. Watching the Chicago Cubs play here isn't just about the game; it's about soaking in more than a century of tradition that you can feel in every cheer and every crack of the bat. What makes the experience truly special is the atmosphere around the ballpark. The surrounding neighborhood of Wrigleyville buzzes with energy before and after the game, full of fans in blue and red sharing stories, grabbing food, and celebrating the sport. Inside the stadium, the sightlines are excellent, the crowd is passionate but welcoming, and even a simple hot dog tastes better when enjoyed under the summer sun or a cool Chicago evening breeze drifting in from nearby Lake Michigan. For a baseball fan visiting for the first time, Wrigley Field isn't just another stadium--it's a pilgrimage site. Whether you're watching a close game, singing along during the seventh-inning stretch, or simply admiring the classic design, it delivers a nostalgic, joyful experience that reminds you why baseball is called America's pastime.

Oooh parking is absolutely insane and I will never drive to an event at this arena again. I…read moreattended a Rush University graduation recently, ended up getting to my seat very late as there were so many people trying to park, walk, and enter. I missed the start of the event. I was able to find a parking spot in a garage, paid a load of cash, and was nearly squashed trying to navigate into the structure. Even with people in neon vests on the street directing traffic, it was chaotic. I can't figure out why they'd put an arena this size in a tiny footprint in a crowded city. The seats were tiny, uncomfortable, and the steps to them so steep that older folks were really struggling to climb them. The acoustics were good. I could clearly hear the speakers. Next time, I'll take an Uber and get there extra early.

I would not recommend going to a concert here, especially seating in the 300 and 400 levels. It was the worst experience trying to get down to the lower levels to exit. I swear getting seemed like it too longer than the concert itself. I wish they had people directing fans to the exits. If you get stuck in a spot where it doesn't lead you to the ramps, then you have to funnel through a 10 foot wide opening. Lastly, the concession prices are CRAZY. Overall Bruno put on an unforgettable show but Soldier Field and the logistics can be better.

We ended up paying around $30 at a nearby lot, which was convenient and honestly about what we expected for game day parking. Compared to Wrigley, the concourses at Rate Field felt wider and much less crowded, which made moving around the stadium easier. They also had veggie dogs and veggie burgers available, which was another huge plus for vegan and vegetarian fans.

I've been a Chicago house fan since high school -- growing up in the city, it was the soundtrack to weekends, late-night drives, and house parties. Being at the pavilion, surrounded by that familiar beat, took me right back.

The crowd was full of longtime fans and new ones, all moving together like we'd done this a hundred times before. I love my city!

Drink prices here are through the roof (which is to be expected but still kinda annoying). I paid $36 for 2 cans of modelos. Most sections had no security so there were many people who kept seat hoping. It was mainly an issue for people who had front row seats since people would sneak into your spot if you left to use the restroom, to the bar, etc.. they'd move out of your spot once you returned but it's still annoying to have to repetitively do that if you need to leave for a short period of time. Overall it's not a bad arena.

But you was warning about my small purse In the first instance, I had intended to attend the Mike Epps show, but my friend's purse was excessively large. Secondly, the air was heavily scented with marijuana and cigarettes. Consequently, I approached Usher, assuming that smoking was permitted within the venue. However, I was informed that this was not the case and that the establishment had no authority to address the issue.

I have attended many different events here throughout my life. Chicago Wolves games, Walking With Dinosaurs, Monster Jam, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and WWE Smackdown. I do agree that the place could use some upgrades, but it still gets the job done. Concessions are bit overpriced, but not the worst quality in my opinion. The dogs and pizzas are good, and the cotton candy can't be missed. Popcorn is okay. The staff are usually nice, but the ushers can sometimes be a 50/50 shot between super sweet and a grump.
