Chicago Stadium

Chicago Stadium, the “Madhouse on Madison,” was a legendary 1929-1994 multi-purpose arena known for its deafening acoustics, hosting the Blackhawks and Bulls, and iconic events, including political conventions and concerts, before its 1995 demolition to make way for the United Center. Opened in 1929 as the world’s largest indoor arena, it was famous for its Art Deco design, goal-celebrating foghorn, and its role as a beloved, loud gathering place for Chicago sports and entertainment.
