The United Center hosts over 200 events per year and has drawn over 20 million visitors since its opening. It is known for routinely exceeding seating capacity for Bulls and Blackhawks games.Its building is 140 feet tall. Costing $175 million to build, the United Center mainly consists of concrete and 3,500 tons of steel. As of the 2009–10 renovation, the stadium has 169 executive suites on three levels.
