Incidentally, I attended the Bulls/Blazers game at the United Center last week (I happened to be passing through Chicago that day). The beer selection and availability and prices were all much more satisfactory than at the Rose Garden. It was rather surprising in fact. If you took 1/2 the food outlets in the Rose Garden and replaced them with bars, you'd have the United Center.

One other observation - the crowd there was MUCH louder than the Rose Garden, but only when the scoreboard called for the fans to make noise. But when they saw the NOISE signs, boy, they responded.
