The United Center, opened in 1994, had interior renovations in 2010 and exterior renovations in 2014.
«We think that this project is going to send a powerful, positive message to the world, and it's going to showcase how Chicago and Illinois continue to set new standards in partnership, architecture, community commitment, growth � all on the heels of what we know is going to be a successful [Democratic National] convention,» United Center chief executive officer Terry Savarise said in a prepared statement.
The United Center has matched or even exceeded the prestige of the team's former home, the Chicago Stadium, which was demolished in 1995. The United Center has hosted many iconic Chicago sports moments and continues to be a premier facility for both the Blackhawks and Bulls.
