Best seats
Lower bowl (100s) for the roar under the banners; the 300-level is very high (big building) but cheap. Center-line 100s are the sweet spot. The Jordan statue in the atrium is the photo stop.
Parking
Large stadium lots (A–F) around the arena; the Near West Side is thin, so most drive or rideshare. Green/Pink line + a walk works. ($30–50 (arena lots) USD)
Getting there
No rail at the door — CTA Green/Pink to Ashland + a 10-min walk, or rideshare. Most drive.
Bar scene
The immediate blocks are limited, but the West Loop / Fulton Market — one of the best food-and-bar districts in the country — is a 5-min ride east.
