Learn all about the Gold Over America Tour’s United Center Venue

The Gold Over America Tour is rolling into its next exciting stop at the legendary United Center in Chicago! This iconic venue isn’t just famous for housing the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls; it’s the largest arena in the entire United States. Since swinging open its doors, the United Center has hosted over 200 events every year, making it a true hotspot for entertainment.

Since its grand opening in 1994 on West Madison Avenue, the United Center has welcomed more than forty million guests. It took the place of the historic Chicago Stadium, becoming the new home for the Bulls and Blackhawks. With Blackhawks owner William Wirtz and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf shelling out a whopping $175 million to build it, this arena has truly become a landmark!

Spanning an impressive 960,000 square feet, the United Center stood as the largest arena in the U.S. by the end of the ’90s. With seating that ranges from 20,500 to 25,000 depending on the event, it’s a place where history has been made time and time again. Talk about a venue with a story! Now, as the Gold Over America Tour gears up to dazzle Chicago, it’s ready to add another unforgettable chapter to this already rich history!

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and other icons the arena has witnessed

The United Center has been the ultimate backdrop for some epic history, especially for basketball legends like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen! The Chicago Bulls jumped into the NBA scene back in the 1966-67 season, starting off at the International Amphitheatre. But things got real exciting in 1984 when they drafted MJ, the GOAT, along with Pippen, who’s also a total legend! With Jordan’s jaw-dropping dunks and game-winning moments, he snagged five MVP awards and seven straight scoring titles.

Then, in the early ‘90s, the Bulls built a killer team with stars like Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright, and John Paxson, and they scored three straight NBA titles in 1991, 1992, and 1993 at the Chicago Stadium. But wait, there’s more! In the late ’90s, MJ and Pippen led the Bulls to three more championships in 1996, 1997, and 1998 at the United Center, sealing their legacy as the “Team of the Decade.” With six NBA titles in total, they’re still known worldwide and always packing the stands!

And to give a shout out to the legend, Michael Jordan, Bulls chairperson Jerry Reinsdorf kicked off a mission in late ’93 to create a statue for the GOAT. Fast forward to November 1994, and they unveiled the statue during a ceremony that also retired his famous No. 23, with Larry King and MJ himself in the house. Standing 12 feet tall and weighing a massive 2,000 pounds, this bronze beauty shows Jordan getting ready to slam dunk, attached at just the knee for that extra flair. But that’s not all!

Other major events held at the Chicago Bulls’ Home Arena

This place is way more than just a sports venue; it’s like the ultimate party spot! From dazzling performances to thrilling figure skating and even the grand spectacle of the 1996 Democratic National Convention, the United Center has hosted it all. Picture rock legends like The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen rocking the stage, alongside family favorites like Disney on Ice and the electrifying Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. Sure, it’s home to the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks, but it’s also the beating heart of the NHL!

It all kicked off back in 1994 with WWF’s SummerSlam as the very first event here. Since then, it’s been a playground for everything from UFC fights to the exciting “Professional Bull Riders” show. And that is just the beginning! Now, the Gold Over America Tour is about to hit this legendary spot, promising one amazing night that everyone’s going to remember!
