What We Loved
- Amex Card benefits: early entrance and up to 25% off concessions
- Seats are spacious, plenty of legroom and
- Good crowd management, staff checking tickets to access 100 and 200 level seats.
- Plenty of food options outside standard hot dog and pretzels including cookies, ice cream, brisket nachos, pastrami sandwiches and other.
- 200 level has access to the Chicago Stadium Club for table service.
- Strong, free wifi, 160 mbps
- Lots of tables and seating to enjoy snacks
- AC worked great in section 223, very cool, enjoyable game
What We Didn't Like
- No cup holder at seats
- MC & ref calls were muted, hard to hear everything. Not sure if it is an system audio issue or user error.
- Lack of accessibility, no closed captions visible in arena.
The Verdict
Compared to MSG, Madhouse is a breath of fresh air. Plenty of space in the seats, large jumbotron although the audio and vibes were a bit muted. Overall a fun preseason game.
