No united center???

[hoopsjones84]

I live in chicago and am very upset that it says CHICAGO STADIUM. I guess they did not get the license to u use the UNITED CENTER. Sucks :-(

It's been like this for years, if not always, if I remember correctly.

NHL 10 is the last game to have the United Center licensed, I wish they would get the rights.

It's a shame this is another year where they don't have the UC in the game.

Although, I can at least tolerate it a bit since they're calling it the Chicago Stadium and not some generic arena name.

"Chicago Arena" would technically be a better name since "stadiums" are typically outdoor venues.

But it's likely the name is referencing the old building that the Blackhawks/Bulls played in before the United Center was built, which actually was called "Chicago Stadium."

I believe they demolished the old building sometime in the early 1990s.

You are correct. Chicago Stadium was demolished 94? 93? It's a parking lot now for the United Center.

I think this problem was after Continental Airlines and United Airlines merged in 2011.
The old rights to the United name and the new logo was not probably not valid after that.
(The Airline kept the "United" name, but swapped to Continentals logo - the blue globe).

One thinks it should've been sorted by now though.
