Chicago Blackhawks’ Circus Trip Remembered, For Better And Worse

This now-finished Circus Trip will be the last one for the Chicago Blackhawks and Bulls, it was announced around the trip’s start almost two weeks ago. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best and worst moments of the formerly-annual road trip.

Since the opening of the United Center in the mid-90s, the Chicago Blackhawks and Bulls have set off on a two-week road trip to allow the Ringling Brothers and the Barnum & Bailey Circus to occupy the confines of 1901 West Madison Street annually during the middle of November.

The annual road trip, simply dubbed “The Circus Trip” by many, has been a gigantic bag of mixed feelings for as long as it has existed, from the players all the way down to the fans alike.
