The United Center is a sports stadium in Chicago, Illinois, located at 1901 W. Madison Street, west of downtown, which is home to both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls. The plan to build the arena was created by Bill Wirtz and Jerry Reinsdorf, the owners of the two sports teams, respectively. The United Center's predecessor was Chicago Stadium, which was destroyed when the United Center opened for business in 1994.
The Arena claims to be the largest in the United States (in physical size, not in capacity), and hosts over 200 shows per year, drawing over 20 million visitors since its grand opening.
It is named after its corporate sponsor, United Airlines.
