University of Illinois Fighting Illini Mens Basketbal

There where not a lot of spectators their. It made the event seem disappointing. It was not what it used to be. Both schools had a weak presents and made the game not worth the money.

I am an avid Illini fan and alumna. It was fun to see the game, but I wish you could have made it more affordable for more people. I do hope they have more games here in future seasons. It was great for U of I Springfield to have this opportunity, too.

Was great to see Illinois win at this venue! It's been a few years! Good game

Wow 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.

it was fun illini could not shoot the ball at all. It might be time for bruce to go he can not recrute. seats were ok mi ti $ 8.50 ouch had fun ILL INI !!!!!!!!

Need some better basketball to cope with $8 beers.

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.

The game was great and we had great seats in the first row of the upper deck. I plan on going next year!

What a disapointment of a game from an Illini point of view.

Great 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.

There 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,

All those who only came to see the men's game in the double-header cheated themselves out of a good game & better parking spaces!

It was not nearly as electrifying as a game at State Farm Center. There were MANY empty seats below us and, from where we were sitting, those empty seats dissipated the energy so it was very dead around us. I thought the seats were far too expensive for the entertainment value. I would have rather watched it on TV, as we have always done in the past. We agreed this was a "once in a lifetime" experience and we don't plan to return.

Seats were great. There were no people at this event! I heard the attendance was 4,000. The stadium felt empty! Either make lower level prices better or stop this event.

Very happy with the seats we had. Wasn't happy with the price of the ticket for an exhibition game. Full price and shouldn't of been for a game then doesn't count. Enjoyed the game though

Great game and environment! I had a lot of fun laughing at the Illini and Flames fans going back and forward talking about each other, the schools and the teams

What can you say about going to a college basketball game when your team wins. Venue was good, fans were very good, team was good. Overall it was good.

Second half was very exciting! Illini beats UIC!!!!!!

Fun afternoon at UC. Great second half propelled Illinois to victory over UIC.

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.

Great game, great venue! Huge crowd, very exciting atmosphere.

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.

Everything was great except for one thing..... The Fighting Illini forgot to show up for the game.

Great seats unfortunately the Illini have not performed well in Chicago lately.

The 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.
