Hi everybody and welcome back to the Attendance Bias mini series of previewing each venue of the Phish 2025 summer tour. By now, we’ve gotten the scoop on the SNHU Arena in Manchester, The Pete in Pittsburgh, the Moody Center in Austin, Folsom Field in Boulder, the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, the North Charleston Coliseum, and the Mann in Philadelphia. We are nearing the end of this series as our episode today focuses on Phish’s three-night run at the United Center in Chicago on July 18, 19, and 20.
Today, I am joined by Brendan, longtime resident of the Chicagoland area, and he has seen his share of Phish shows in and around the Windy City. More to the point, he has seen tons of sporting events at the United Center, and attended two out of Phish’s three inaugural shows at the massive arena in the fall of 2023.
Since Phish has only played one previous run at the United Center, there isn’t a lot to dig into there, but there is a ton to talk about when it comes to Phish’s Chicago history, the background of the venue itself, and obviously, recommendations for things to do around Chicago during this three-day run. Let’s join Brendan to talk about it all.
