	Chicago Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stadium is located next to Lake Michigan and was recently remodeled in a controversial modernization that has attempted to bring stadium amenities expected by today's fans to a historic Chicago building.
		Halas liked the bright orange-and-blue colors of his alma mater, the University of Illinois, and the Bears adopted those colors as their own, albeit in a darker shade of each (the blue is a Navy Blue, and the orange is Pantone 1665, similar to burnt orange).
		The stadium's endzones and midfield were not painted until the 1982 season.

	U.S. Cellular Field - Chicago White Sox
		As such, U.S. Cellular Field was the last baseball stadium to be built without the throwback frills and unique amenities that Baltimore first wowed the public with in 1992.
		New stadiums in Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and on and on, are clearly better than their predecessors.
		Chicago is such a great city to be in during the summer that it is no wonder the team struggles to draw fans to the city's outskirts to see the perennially hapless White Sox.

	The Chicago Stadium
		During his years at the stadium my dad was involved with the opening of the Sonia Henie storage locker, the piano bar, and the refurbishment of the old fan rooms where a 2000 ton Carrier water chiller was added for air conditioning.
		Few people that worked at the stadium ever got up to the fanrooms, and fewer yet ever got over to the "speaker house." Entering the "speaker house" was like being in a time warp.
		I still have a brick from the ruins, and a brass presser guage from one of the old DC sets in the boilder room that were used for the old spot lights.

	PCI :: Public Communications Inc. :: Grand Opening of the United Center
		That's why when the owners of the Chicago Stadium — home to the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks — announced plans in 1992 to tear down the old and build a new privately financed, multi-purpose stadium, the city did not take the news lightly.
		There were two primary concerns: Part of the romance of the 65-year-old Chicago Stadium, also known as the "Madhouse on Madison," was the roar of crowds in the old but intimate building.
		The United Center Joint Venture, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Chicago Bulls, and Public Communications Inc. worked closely together throughout the new arena's construction to gain positive media coverage and assure Chicago fans, and the United Center's surrounding community, that the new arena would be well worth the wait.

		So much is the park a part of the surrounding neighborhood that the area in Chicago near the stadium is called Wrigleyville.
