New Additions to the UC 300 level: Madhouse on Madison

Here is a link to the new additions to the United Center this year. I called in to select my seats for my 11 game plan* and noticed a new addition to the seating chart in sections 312 and 329.

Apparently, they cut out rows 4-7 in sections 312 and 329 and have installed a bar area that has a view of the game. I, of course, took this as an opportunity to get my seats in row 1 of section 329. Kind of like the idea of a bar within 3 rows of my seats. Perhaps Patrick Kane requested these bars be installed for his family members and friends?

*BTW, if you are an 11 game plan holder or future buyer, call the Bulls now instead of mailing in your form. Many of the good seats are already gone for the weeknight package (which is awesome, BTW compared to the other 2 crappy plans)

Star-divide

According to the Bulls, the 300 level will be a "clients will enjoy doing business". Sounds kind of inappropriate to me. But seriously, can you see a top executive saying this:

"Well, I think tonight I'm going to seal the deal on the Anderson account. I'm taking him to the Bulls/OKC Thunder game. We're sitting in section 302 row 16. I was going to sit courtside but I think he'd prefer the Madhouse on Madison"

They are installing other amenities, including concessions in the rear of the 300 level (always thought that was a "black hole" and kind of creepy anyway.

 

Here are other changes according to the Bulls:

the addition of flat screen televisions; a new lighting system featuring photography and animation on the concourse walls; bright illumination in the seating aisles; floor-to-ceiling windows for spectacular views of Chicago’s skyline; bright graphics and signs highlighting “The Madhouse on Madison;” and much more.

Very funny poll

I don’t drink, but I think TT might drive me to it.

"clients will enjoy doing business"

maybe pharmaceutical companies?

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."
"Go ahead, make my day"
"We boil at different degrees"
"A good man always knows his limitations"

I was reading is as

"ladies of the night" .. is that some street name

for something that treats or alleviates the symptoms of some type of ailment. Or simply a drug.

I don’t think you intend this thread to go in this direction.

But in regards to the poll I’d suggest that they show highlights of the Bulls during there championship runs during the 90’s and competely forget about showing the events occuring during the game for this hovering consistently at .500 ball club.

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."
"Go ahead, make my day"
"We boil at different degrees"
"A good man always knows his limitations"
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"

"Better TV commentators"

That’s about it, since I won’t be going to any games in person.

I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]

I wonder what Funk will talk about without BG around.

Who will be his next target? Probably Tyrus until he is also gone.

Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.

Maybe Brad Miller if he loses another step and we see the real emergence of Noah.

Noah should average over 30 mpg if he’s really hit the weights that hard, especially if Miller degrades a bit.

indeed.

the memo’s probably already been passed down.

Tyrus is going to get destroyed in the media this season

Gordon was the brunt of most fans/media scorn for some time now. Doug Thonus and his sources are going to tell us Tyrus is in fact Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The Chicago Bulls.....the more profitable Los Angeles Clippers.

Luckily I have a bar in my house or I would’ve never gotten through TT’s jumpers last year.

My liver is also thanking me now that Nocioni and his lack of defense is gone. It is now hoping Vinny is next.

LOL

we need large screen to watch Aaron gray’s free throw air ball replays!!
