Chicago Stadium (closed)
ATTRACTION WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1995.
Opened in March 1929, the venerable Chicago Stadium was the home of the NHL Chicago Blackhawks and the NBA Chicago Bulls until it was torn down in 1994 and the teams moved their headquarters to the $175 million United Center located across the street. One of the recognizable features of the stadium was the organ, which reputedly pumped out the same volume as 25 100-piece brass bands playing at the same time.
