Chicago's Town
In the heart of the legend
In Chicago, everything smells basketball. Restaurants, stores, gymnasium, walls become a cult. Because Bulls in general, and Michael Jordan in particular, live there. This is whywe can die happy after a visit in the heart of the "Windy City" !
United Center - 1901 W Madison Street
Locate the United Center on the map of Chicago.
The main entrance of the United Center which you have to go round
to stand in silence in front of Jordan's statue.
The statue of Michael Jordan in bronze has been erected for the
first retire in 1993. You can throw coins around, it appears that it brings you good luck
!
Aerial view of the United Center & the Chicago's downtown.
Not easy to find yourself in this gymnasium so big such as the United Center. So, look at
the map to situate your place. And look also a bit of the Bulls' store on the way !
Have a look of the United Center ! And, in the meanwhile, go to
the United Center Official Site.
Michael Jordan's Restaurant - 500 N Lasalle Street
Locate Michael Jordan's Restaurant on the map of Chicago.
The front of the restaurant with a huge poster of
Jordan and inside, you can be in raptures in front of the big
screen nibbling some food for nearly nothing. A legend shelf :
between the jersey, balls of the 5 000 to 25 000th point in NBA and the golf
shoe, Jordan has collected few souvenirs at the bar.
Impossible to leave the MJ's Restaurant whithout passing by the "Gift Shop". To
buy there, for example, the ball that Jordan has signed... A whole
view of the souvenirs' shop, all the more since the fans rush there
as earlier as the restaurant opening !
Nike Town - 669 N Michigan Avenue
Locate Nike Town on the map of Chicago.
The front of Nike Town, it's not the most
impressive...
Inside of the temple Nike, you can find the historical collection of
Jordan's shoes !
