The Iconic Chicago Stadium Scoreboard Sign

A Glimpse into Sports History

Before its demolition in 1995, the legendary Chicago Stadium stood as a beacon of sports excellence, serving as the home of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks. Located at 1800 West Madison Street, this iconic venue was the largest indoor stadium in the world when it was constructed in 1929. Known affectionately as “The Madhouse on Madison,” its barn-shaped design and the presence of a 3,663-pipe Barton organ contributed to its reputation for extreme noise levels, creating an electrifying atmosphere for fans and players alike.
