Chicago Bulls 4 5 1 1

Roundball RoadTrip - Chicago Bulls As part of my Roundball RoadTrip I took in a Chicago Bulls game at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois in January of 2011. The “Madhouse on Madison” is an incredible place to watch some NBA Basketball. As you walk up to Gate 2, a twelve foot tall statue of Michael Jordan about to unleash one of his signature dunks is stands at the door. Along with paying homage to the greatest NBA player that ever lived, it also makes for a great photo opportunity. The arena itself is impressive, as you walk into the seating area your attention is immediately turned to the six NBA championship banners that hang in the rafters as a reminder of those great Chicago Bulls dynasties of the 1990’s. I was also impressed by the quality and variety of concessions available at the United Center. Freshly prepared shrimp po' boy sandwiches, carved turkey and smoke beef brisket sandwiches and Chicago-style deep dish pizza along with a wide array of other options await you at United Center concession stands. One thing I was warned about by several locals is that the area around the United Center is not the safest area in the city. However, I noticed before and after the game that lots of Bulls fans flocked to the nearby pubs and taverns to hang out. I also noticed a strong Police presence in the area on game day as well. My advice is to be aware of your surroundings if you're planning to hang out. Madison Street, which runs along the United Center, has lots of great bars and restaurants for pre and post game entertainment, but to check out a local Chicago legend, you’ll want to grab a "cheezborger" at the Billy Goat Tavern. The Billy Goat Tavern is famous for two reasons. Back in the 1970’s John Belushi did a skit on Saturday Night Live based on its cook staff, but much earlier than that, in the 1940’s, it was the owner of the Billy Goat Tavern, William “Billy Goat" Sianis that placed a curse on the Chicago Cubs because they wouldn’t allow him to take his goat into Wrigley Field. For more information on what to see and do in the city of Chicago and about the Legend of "The Billy Goat Curse”, check out my review at http://www.nbabasketballarenas.com/United-Center-Jan11.htm.
