Built in 1929, Chicago Stadium was the crowning achievement of
local sports promoter Paddy Harmon. The largest sports arena in the
world when it was built, the stadium was completed at a total cost
of $9.5 million. The "Madhouse on Madison" witnessed an active
65-year reign as the city's greatest auditorium. Home to both the
Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls, the stadium's attendance
eclipsed that of others around the nation as it hosted numerous
boxing matches, the first playoff game of the National Football
League, rodeo competitions, and concerts (featuring Frank Sinatra,
Elvis Presley, and later KISS) among other events. Chicago Stadium
fell to the wrecking ball in 1995.
