More about the United Center Arena
Construction began in 1992 and in 1994 a Chicago staple was born. Over 200 events are hosted here per year which makes this one of the busiest arenas. Why is it called United Center? United Airlines bought the naming rights to the arena for $1.8 million a year. While the bulls played their first game here in 1994, the blackhawks had to wait till 1995 due to the lockout. The bulls won several championships with Michael Jordan in this arena in 1996, 1997, and 1998.
