Pretty good competitive game. The Illini won so it was a good time. I would suggest that the Illini not schedule another school for the UC with the same school colors.
United Center is always a great venue, with a good group of fans.
We were lucky to have good seats with good angles and really enjoyed. Would have been nice to have more Illini merchandise available for purchase
The United Center is an excellent venue for basketball.
Gave my husband, toddler boys' Dad, Christmas present of tickets 'from the boys' to an Illini game. It was fun. Sitting near the aisle, it was easy to get out, and access to drinks, food, and restroom was easy during the game. Was surprised how exciting the game was, and how intense the whole experience was, even though I'm not a huge sports fan, and we were sitting in the 300 section. Staff was pleasant, and parking was quick and close. Cons - selection of snacks was not great. . . They should have corn dogs!! And we should be able to buy a bag of chips separate from a meal. Our 2 year old wasn't big enough to keep his seat unfolded. . . .I'm not sure we truly needed a ticket for him, he sat on my lap the whole time.but, the three year old was big enough for his seat.
Went to watch our hometown kid Joesph Bertrand . Sterling , Il. Seats were awesome thanks ticketmaster !!!!!
Good game goid seats. Expensive for college hoops thats all was a great time lots to do in the area. Go illini.
Great seats, great game. Would definitely go again.
Great experience...most definitely would go again!
We got great seats for the Illinois-Auburn game and It was a very enjoyable for my wife's first time there. The only drawback was that doors only opened about an hour before the game, so lunch was a little rushed. Otherwise, the venue is such a great place to see a basketball game, that I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Awesome game great to be in the United Center! Wish they would play there more often!
Good turnout. The crowd was dressed in orange and energetic. United Center is a good place to see them play.
It was easy to park,get in,so many food places. Inside was beautiful all the colors were awesome. I loved it. I prefer watching sports in person,and I was not disappointed . Our seats were perfect,my husband was in hog heaven,he is a dyed in the wool Illini fan.
Sucha great experience watching the Illini play and win. I wish the band would have been louder because they were hard to hear. The cheerleaders and Illinettes did a wonderful job and it was great to have them there supporting their team. Hopefully next year the full team of illinettes can come not just 6.
Ugly game but a nice Illini win. Great to see 18M plus in attendance. GO ILLINI!
Seats were awesome as was the venue. My first time at the UC after visiting the old Stadium. There is no comparison between the two (obviously). The choice of concessions was outstanding. One complaint after the game that perhaps can be coordinated better between the venue and cab companies is that we walked more than a mile after the game before finding a cab. Not just an empty cab, a cab of any kind. A cab stand outside the UC would be appreciated. If there is a cab stand already in place, none of the UC personnel knew where it was when asked.
The men and women directing traffic did a great job! The seats were a bit expensive for where we were. Overall a great day!
Great seats and decent game. Really like the front of the club level.
Was great to see Illinois win at this venue! It's been a few years! Good game
Great game, great venue! Huge crowd, very exciting atmosphere.
