What it's known for
The famous Michael Jordan statue, which once stood outside, is now inside the atrium, along with statues honoring Blackhawks legends. Banners from the Bulls’ six championships in the 1990s and the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cups hang overhead.
Blackhawks fans are known for roaring and cheering all the way through the national anthem, one of the loudest pregame traditions in hockey.
Getting there
The arena is west of the Loop. CTA buses run along Madison Street to the arena, and the Pink and Green Lines stop within walking distance. Large parking lots surround the building.
Tips for your visit
- Arrive early at a Blackhawks game for the anthem; it’s worth the trip on its own.
- Get a photo with the Michael Jordan statue in the atrium.
- Wrigley Field and Rate Field are both a short ride away if you’re collecting ballparks.
