Illinois NHL

My first time seeing an NHL game in the States and was so good - would recommend it to anyone even if you're not a sports fan. United Center is a big place with so many options for seating, concessions, parking, etc. I had everything I could dream of! If you're watching hockey here, make sure to leave enough time to find your seat as you won't want to miss the pregame buildup. If you want to buy merch there's the Madhouse store which is a bit crazy and busy but great for supporting the team. Food menus were absolutely amazing with so much choice - even the fries were delicious! The staff were all very very friendly and helpful

Went to a hawks game and bought parking. Needed some directions but found the lot ok. You needed to show your vaccination status and go through a metal detector on entry to the arena. We were sat in the higher sections 300 level and had good views of the ice. Didn't buy anything to eat or drink as looked pricey but there was a lot of choice.

good arena but so big means really busy and a bit chaotic. just means everything feels a bit stressful but atmosphere is buzzing which is fun. stores and concessions are great but a little expensive. i guess to be expected. views good from seats we were on the upper level
