Green Day
Childhood friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar,lead vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass, vocals; born Michael Pritchard) formed their first band 'Sweet Children' when they were 14 years old in Rodeo, California. By 1989, the group had added drummer John Kiftmeyer (aka: Al Sobrante) and changed their name to Green Day after one of their songs. That year, the band independently released their first EP, 1,000 Hours, which was well received in the punk scene. The band soon signed to local independent label, Lookout!

United Center
Built in 1994 to replace the crumbling Chicago Stadium, the United Center is a gigantic piece of corporate architecture. Its largeness is measured at 960,000 square feet and it cost about $175 million to construct. Home to the Bulls, Blackhawks, concerts and extravaganzas like the ice capades, it usually stays filled near capacity. The stadium fits 21,500 people for Bulls games and a few less for hockey. Bulls tickets range from $10 for a nosebleed to $450 for a courtside seat to watch the Bulls play basketball. In 1996 the Democratic National Convention took place here in all its splendor. Rock legends such as the Stones and Springsteen have played a few gigs here on their second journey through their youth. The sound quality for a big arena show is mediocre, but the sightlines are decent enough for you to enjoy your show. It's clean and new and a lot like other NBA arenas with logos plastered on the sides, or, in this case, on the top. (Jeremy Fredeen) Phone: (312) 455-4500Post a Countdown Widget
