Great video! I think you hit the nail right on the head with the fans not being in the best relations with the team. The anthem used to be better back when the team was watchable and didn’t have all of the off the ice issues known to the public. Funnily enough, I sat in that same section back in January. Both Hawks and Bulls games are great there, I’ve been to two of each this year. I’m glad you enjoyed the UC!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I feel bad for Blackhawks fans. The organization is a mess now and it’s got to be difficult to support them. I did really enjoy the arena though and that section gave us a great view of the game!

I been to the United center in 2015 it's a pretty nice building I've been to a bulls and Blackhawk game the Blackhawk game I went to it was awesome Patrick Kane scored a goal and the atmosphere was awesome on a Saturday night it is a little tricky to get to the arena but they have express bus for both the bulls and the Blackhawks and the NCAA tournament you have a great channel keep up the great content

Looks like the Blackhawks attendance has once again dropped off now that they're not good anymore. As a kid and hockey player growing up in Chicago I was a big Hawks fan, after the Chris Chelios/Tony Amonte/Eddy Belfour era diminished the team lost popularity and basically I felt like the only hockey fan in Chicago. I would often try to talk to people about the Blackhawks and was often told nobody cares about hockey and fan support sucked. To be fair the owner refused to televise their home games at the time because he thought it would hurt ticket sales. But low and behold, once they won the Stanley Cup all of a sudden everyone were big Blackhawks fans and they were extremely popular again. And of course everyone pretended like they had always been fans lol. They had a sellout streak that lasted for years but based off your video the atmosphere looks dead compared to what it was 5-10 years ago.

That’s the dangerous cyclical pattern of being a team winning cups and then losing talent and tanking for draft picks. Chicago seems to do it the hardest of any team. I think the attendance was also hurt that night since it was a rescheduled game and the snowstorm. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and insight! I love getting to hear locals thoughts on the culture and atmosphere around their team. (If you’re a Chicago baseball fan I’ve also visited both the Cubs and White Sox and did reviews there)

Not only the team being unwatchable, but the sexual abuse situation and how the Wirtz family handled it makes it hard to support the team. Still watch hockey casually and know most of the current roster, but I'm sure like a lot of Chicago fans it's really no longer a priority.

@SACSportsAdventures

@@jacobadrian1115 I think that’s a huge reason why attendance has dropped off. Makes it really hard to support an organization that silences the voices of their players after something truly awful happened.

Something I have noticed about the United Center is that when I went to a Chicago Bulls game yesterday, I noticed that on the north side of the arena, I did not see the Chicago Blackhawks and visitor team tunnel. How are the NHL players going to play their games if the tunnels are blocked? The NHL players are going to be trapped when it is time for them to get out of the tunnel. Wait til you go to a Chicago Bulls game and you will see for yourself.

I don’t really follow the ECHL close enough to have a favourite team but would probably choose the Cyclones as my number one followed by the KWings due to the affiliation. I do really love the branding of the Orlando Solar Bears and Florida Everblades though.

It's a goofy song, but it's also arguably the most effective song in sports. It demoralizes the away team while boosting our guys up. Sure, the box can ignore heckling and chirping, but it's impossible to ignore 20,000 people in song. If you've ever been to United while the Hawks are doing well, you can actually see the away teams' faces drop in morale. Da da da forever. Hawks win.
