United center – chicago, il

The United Center was built in 1994 in Chicago Illinois. It is currently the home to both the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks. Of all the buildings I have covered, this is undoubtedly the worst design of all the buildings, yet it is probably my favorite of all the buildings. The front of the building is bland, with a few large glass windows and a few signs. The United Center front doors are labeled with something that you would see at a movie theater. Once you go inside, however, everything changes. In one atrium, a massive statue to Michael Jordan, who lead the bulls to a second three-peat inside the United Center. Entering in to the arena, you can look up in the rafters and see a litany of banners for all of the Bulls achievements, along with all of the Blackhawks achievements. The United Center is referred to as the Madhouse on Madison, because it is almost always packed to the rafters full of fans who are energetic and eager to root on their team. The Bulls and Blackhawks are two of my favorite things in the world, so I have many amazing memories going to games with friends and family. The combination of personal importance to me, with the electric atmosphere and the constant reminders of all of the glory and history that has been achieved under the same roof makes the United Center my favorite building.
