I was watching a Blackhawks game and the sight lines were great everywhere. As a geezer I would have liked more restrooms and less steep seating. But I am now use to the world as it is and don't really think that the above lessens the great fun of a hockey game.

Was here for the BTS:LOVE YOURSELF tour. Staff was quick getting us all in the venue. Guards after the show were sweet waving at everyone telling us to get home safe. I saw some staff tending to some fans who fainted in the GA. They were swift and gentle with them. Overall I felt very safe and had a great time!

The center is fine, but crowd control is terrible. The escalators apparently can't handle constant use, so employees stagger people leaving, waiting for the stairs to be empty before allowing more people to leave. They also shut down the street in front of the center (north side), not allowing taxis, car services, etc to pick up anyone, but force people into the bitter cold who are waiting for said cars. Security takes themselves too seriously and handle themselves like the brut squad instead of talking to folks like people. They even put a passed out intoxicated woman onto the street without any concern for her well-being, and refused to allow an amputee on metal crutches to warm up while waiting for a car that couldn't get to her. Not impressed with the experience. Additionally, drink prices are ridiculously high with the slowest servers I've ever encountered at a stadium.

Went to a Blackhawks game here. Excellent venue. Not a bad seat in the house. I'm from the south so I don't know much about hockey. But I love sports and can say Hawks fans and the NHL are super cool.

I loved it! The United Center is one of my favorite venues to see concerts at. Food, drinks & overall atmosphere is fantastic. Love looking at the history of the Bulls & Blackhawks hanging from the ceiling, just think although I'm was there for a concert history has been made repeatedly there it's surreal. I was craving an Italian beef with fries so that's what I got, delicious. By the way John Mayer was da s@&t!

United Center is the worst place to go for sporting events if you want to pay $6.50 for a hot dog that who knows what's in it then enjoy or a $10 crowd control beer or or how about around of drinks for 40 bucks or how about give the people a Fair freaking price for food and drink United Center you rip offs I've been to many different stadiums and you are the highest priced I've ever been to next to LA maybe when your teams are good enough for those prices you could charge them but not now seatings great cleaning place what's your Beverages and alcohol prices are outrageous should be ashamed of yourselves but price gouging is what it's about it's sporting events I guess

As with many venues, the concession prices are extremely high. If you don't mind sitting with a bunch of Blackhawks fans, the place isn't too bad. To be fair, my daughter and I were actively rooting against the Blackhawks and were not hassled by the home fans at all. At least the Blackhawks aren't the Penguins.

If going to concert/ game, get an uber. Parking can be overwhelming. Staff there are very helpful. Front entrance through gates 2&3. Variety of food (pizza, concession stand basics, ice cream) and alcoholic drinks (beers, cocktails). Bathrooms clean and accessible throughout. They have metal detectors so safety is paramount.
Amazing venue for concerts- sound is spectacular.

I watched many games for chciago bulls there, as expected its crowded but the atmosphere there before, during and after the game is amazing. Best part is the crowd chanting and supporting the bulls. I like it . Sometimes i leave right before the end by few mins to avoid the traffic after the game.

What's not to love about the United Center? It hosts the best teams in the United States! The Blackhawks and Bulls. Other special events and concerts I have attended here are always a good time. Lots of concessions and a very safe venue.

Wonderful arena. Had great fun visiting. I also saw Justin Timberlake play here in 2018, was amazing. The sound was very good quality. It's a wonderful Sports arena that doubles as an excellent venue for live Music. The venue is very well arranged and impressive to walk around. The refreshment selection is pretty good, despite the expected high prices. Not hugely fond of the surrounding area, but generally a real decent place for the venue alone.

Went for Disney on Ice show, parking close to the gate was not a problem. The facility itself is not bad, obviously the price of food /drinks are too expensive but the staff I interacted with were helpful, so no real issues/complaints

I came for John Mayer concert on 08/14/19. There was a street sign for parking saying $25. When I was inside of the parking lot I was told that parking is $28 for blocked cars and $33 for easy out cars. I paid $33 with my credit card and asked for a receipt. I attached this receipt to my review. It looks like I paid my money to Joseph Feldman and got a private party receipt. I doubt that this is a right way. I doubt that Joseph Feldman or United Center will show this income on their tax returns. State and City will get $0 from this transaction.

Seeing the Smashing Pumpkins here was amazing. There's plenty of parking & friendly staff to get you to your seats. Floor seats probably aren't the best choice if you're short, I had a hard time seeing.

Went to my first Bulls game. I was surprised by how much stuff there was to do around the United Center before the game. My seats were high up but still could see pretty well. Took an Uber to and from the game.

Visited this venue for the Laver Cup and I would say it's pretty average. Lots of parking in and out of the location, restrooms are decent, seats are ok, sound is good.
The area around United Center can get pretty shady at night so be careful when exiting the venue.
Food concession is outrageously expensive ($10 for a bottle of water) and most of the hired staff for this particular event was so rude.

Where dreams come true for the youth in you. Imagine sitting so close to the court that the players are in virtual reality distance, less than an arms reach away. Well that was our experience as we watched our young men play where some of the greats have laced up and battled from hoop to hoop.

The United Center and the NBA could have made accessible pathways for the NBA Allstar game weekend. It is very cold and no signs telling you where to walk to the entrance. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

Being Blackhawks fans, United Center is somewhere my husband and I frequently visit. It is a one of a kind experience. Everything is kept in great condition, there are loads of different food choices, cleanly bathrooms, great atmosphere. Cant go wrong with an evening at UC. Cannot wait for the updates next year!

Awesome venue!!! Great food and drinks. It's very expensive but every sports arena is. Great place to watch your Chicago bulls and Blackhawk play. I have been there for many concerts and was impressed every time.the circus is also fun there.

Very nice arena with a neat design. Saw Harry Styles and the security check people were extremely rude and nitpicky (I understand safety, but taking little flags on an 6" wooden stick is a bit excessive in my opinion. They just wanted to celebrate pride and share 'black lives matter' awareness). Good selection of alcohol and concessions.

Expensive but what venue isn't. Food was good and seats were great. Unfortunately the Hawks lost. Convenient for the Madison and United Express CTA buses. They drop off about a block west of the main entrance for a short walk to the metal detectors. Leaving you catch the buses a block east and there were always plenty waiting when I came out of the game. Overall a nice experience.

Always a great time when the hawks are playing! Or when they host a concert! Only complaint is the paper straws with the milkshakes, they break apart too easily with the thickness of the shake

Really nice venue. We sat row 12 second 112 and I would highly recommend this second for concerts. The drive can be a it rough if you are going on a Friday so plan on heading out very early or staying the night
