LittleRed Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nosebleed seats here, too! Who cares? I'm happy to be going and only paid face value. Any suggestions on good places to eat near there? I know Greektown is nearby but I would love to hear suggestions from others who know the area a bit bitter. It has been a while since I have visited the area for something other than a concert. A lot of people will tell you the acoustics stink and they are probably right . . . it is a sporting arena after all. One thing I will tell you . . . it is LOUD!

My mom has told me stories about attending concerts at the UC when it was the Rosemont back in da day. According to her, back then the acoustics were pretty bad because the building was situated in a circular manner which caused the sound to literally hit on the back wall and then bounce back at the audience. Might have remodeled a bit since then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how good the acoustics are, but like some others have said, it will be loud for sure. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Greektown is nearby but I would love to hear suggestions from others who know the area a bit bitter. It has been a while since I have visited the area for something other than a concert. There are options for food on Madison just east of the Arena. I saw them here last tour and there was a meetup somewhere on Madison that had decent food but don't remember the name of the place. The Billy Goat Tavern is nearby so you cab stop by there and grab a good burger. It doesn't have the ambiance or history that the one in downtown has but the food's the same. Maybe someone from Chicago can tell us where a good meetup near the venue is. Within walking distance. Good food. Strong drinks. And a jukebox that plays LOUD!

AM2112 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 WestEnd on Madison is a good option for food and drinks that is close. They actually have shuttles to the UC before and after Bulls and Hawks games, I wonder if they do that for concerts as well? I also like Haymarket. Still in the West Loop, but a bit further (Randolph and Halsted). There's actually a lot of good places around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shuttle service. Bring change for the parking structure across the street. The auto pay machines do not give change :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonrflynn Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Anyone want to split a Platinum pair with me? I could not resist the temptation.... and bought two seats in Section 113, row 2 on Ticketbastard for $525 each. I'll be going and am looking for someone who wants the other seat. PM me if interested. Thanks! —Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
