A joint statement from the Blackhawks and Bulls on Thursday afternoon announced that fans will be permitted into the United Center at 25 percent capacity beginning on Friday, May 7. The announcement comes after the arena was given permission from city and state government officials to welcome fans back into the building.
Starting this weekend there will be guests inside the stadium, although they will not be members of the general just yet, according to the teams’ statement:
The Blackhawks and Bulls will take a phased-in approach to hosting fans.
