Finally allowed beer sales at an event. This should always be allowed. Many people who come from chicago to watch these games are not college students but college alumni which means it is a reunuion of sorts and it makes no sense not to allow beer sales given this. Because they are alumni it also means it is a better and more managealbe crowd.

Someone Forgot to Show Up
by MJCARDO on 12/20/11United Center - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5Everything was great except for one thing..... The Fighting Illini forgot to show up for the game.
Great seats poor team performance though.
by pscyman85 on 12/20/11United Center - ChicagoRating: 4 out of 5Great seats unfortunately the Illini have not performed well in Chicago lately.
Worst basketball game I've ever seen
by Perlz on 12/19/11United Center - ChicagoRating: 1 out of 5The Illini were an embarrassment. By this point I should know better than to pay to see them play at the United Center. Total waste of time and money.
Refund Please!
by Unsatifited on 12/19/11United Center - ChicagoRating: 2 out of 5Wow what can I say about my trip to the United Center, first the tickets that I bought online showed one seating chart, but when I got there with my nephew to see his first basketball game security ( which by the way was very rude ) told us that those seats was reserved for special guests and that we were to sit in the next tier up! Never going there again.

Not sure how we ended up sitting in the illinois section, but the fans were not obnoxious or anything. I think beer there was cheaper than at Busch stadium. Chuy's fajita melt was really good.
Go Mizzou!
by ekodoyce on 12/24/10Scottrade Center - St LouisRating: 5 out of 5The game was great and we had great seats in the first row of the upper deck. I plan on going next year!
Frightened ILLINI
by illnifan on 12/22/10United Center - ChicagoRating: 1 out of 5What a disapointment of a game from an Illini point of view.
UIC wins over the Illini!
by UICFlamesMom on 12/21/10United Center - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5Great seats in club section close to center court. Fun to see UIC basketball in such a large venue as the United Center. UIC fans were definitely the minority and we felt we were in a sea of orange. Hopefully, UIC's win will entice students to come to their games more often.
Ui vs UIC
by UIFANBASE on 12/21/10United Center - ChicagoRating: 2 out of 5There appeared to be a lot of open seats down closer to the court but when I went on-line to purchase tickets the best available were only in the upper balcony,
U of I Women's Basketball ROCKS!!!
by AJFisBarryFan on 12/21/10United Center - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5All those who only came to see the men's game in the double-header cheated themselves out of a good game & better parking spaces!
