United Center - Big ten championship

I haven't been to the United Center in years, but it holds very fond memories for me. Lots of fun…read moreconcerts, basketball games (go Bulls!), and hockey games (go Blackhawks!). 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.

PLAY BALL seriously…read morewho would give wrigley anything but 5 stars. Love my cubbies. Love my baseball diamond nestled in a neighborhood. Love that there isn't a massive parking lot surrounding the stadium. Love that you can see CTA and the lake. BEST MLB STADIUM

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.

There's air conditioner here and it feel great bc it's a hot day today. Had some locally made Chicago chips that were good (a little on the salty side but good). Expensive food but what can one do. Polish sausage is huge and really good. Forgot to take a photo of it.

This August I attended both a Bears preseason game and the My Chemical Romance concert, and I…read moreenjoyed myself thoroughly at both events. That said, I have some takeaways and lessons learned. First off, security was a breeze for both events. I got to the game at least an hour before kickoff and didn't have to slow my pace to basically walk through the magnetometers. I know, depending on when you arrive, depending on how the team is doing, who the opponent is, and how the weather is would all affect this, but I wouldn't expect terrible lines unless you plan poorly. I arrived to the concert while the opener was playing and similarly walked in with ease. (If you're the type to rush for merch, maybe you'll fight a crowd, but hey, they were selling merch outside of the venue as well as inside). I'm sure it's been said before, but get yourself a clear bag if you need to pack something in (sunscreen, a sweatshirt, hand sani). And just play it cool and positive! The one moment I got stopped was when a security staffer wanted to know where they could get a coat like the one my girlfriend was wearing (basement of Macy's, you can find steals and deals). Food and drink is going to be at a premium price for less than premium quality, but anytime you're in a stadium of any kind, you're experiencing something! The buzz, the excitement, that elevated existence comes with elevated prices. There are traditional counter service vendors, the walking vendors, and various self-service areas. Just know that whatever drink you buy, they will open it or make you open it immediately. If it's a bottle, you have to toss the cap out. (I'm sure this is to reduce the chance of something being thrown, and if something IS thrown, then the damage it causes is reduced to mostly wet people as opposed to potential head injuries). With seats on the field for the concert, this went one step further and bottled beverages had to be poured into open cups. Lesson learned however: BRING IN A SODA BOTTLE CAP OF YOUR OWN! That way you can fill up with water and not worry about spilling all over yourself. Facilities were as clean as expected, vendors were all friendly. The worst part of both experiences is a common knock on Soldier Field and a common knock on many concerts/sporting events: getting out. At least at a game, people may toss the towel and dip out early, but at a concert, everyone is going to hang on until it's clear no more music is coming. And then that mass of humanity has to shuffle out in a smooth and orderly fashion. As if. Getting out after the My Chem show, there was a shocking volume of bodies all moving in the same direction even outside of the stadium (I may have climbed a wall and hopped a railing to pass a bottleneck...), and even a mile out, there were still pockets of us ambling about. So maybe those parking passes might be worth it?

Sat in section 106 row B seat 9 for reference. It's a fairly…read moresmall arena which is nice because you get a good view from almost any seat you choose. The downside? 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.

Wintrust Arena is a smaller venue, which is nice once you're inside because there really aren't bad…read moreseats. That said, getting in was more annoying than it needed to be. There wasn't much direction on which line to stand in -- some lines were obvious, but there was also a long line off to the side with zero explanation. That mystery line? Turns out it's for bag check. My crossover bag was very, very, very slightly oversized (like... come on ), and I had to leave the main line, check my bag in a locker, get a code, then get back in the main line again. Of course, this also meant waiting again after the game to retrieve it. Super inconvenient. Inside, the arena is pretty standard, just smaller. I went to see the Chicago vs. Dallas WNBA game -- I had literally just landed in Chicago and was looking for something to do that night. I mainly went to see Angel Reese, but honestly, I wasn't super impressed. Arike Ogunbowale, though? That girl can HOOP. She definitely caught my eye. I'm from Texas, so I found myself cheering for both the Dallas Wings and Angel Reese... somehow that math still worked. Overall, decent arena experience, but clearer signage and a little grace with bag sizes would go a long way. I didn't eat any arena food because I planned to go to Portillo's after the game.

Does this building have its age? Yes. Does it take away from the overall experience? Not for me. I…read moreagree with others here that it is nice to have a venue like this outside the city that still has a lot of top acts and shows to see. 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. Lots of good memories here, and hoping for more soon.

It was Connie's Pizza and the slice was lukewarm So bad that the cheese hardened and cracked across the middle. $10.00 a slice !!! Next time I'll just wait and go to Connie's in Chinatown, where it's Hot and Fresh The girl ( section 112 - 114 ) gave me the slice and looked at me , I gave her the look back and was like ok whatever. There were better slices available and I didn't want to be that person but now I'm understanding some of why people do what they do. Did you really have to give me The F Up slice ? You have your reason and now your getting this review. Buddy at the register had to be reminded about my water. These people don't want to work and hate their jobs ( ^ x ^ )
