    Still in my mind the best place ever to watch a hockey game

    I had the pleasure of attending a game at the Stadium in February 1993 as part of a week-long business trip to Chicago. I was working for a Toronto area battery company and our American HQ was in Lombard. They worked us pretty hard during the day, but our evenings were free. A few of my colleagues and I were able to get tickets to watch the Blackhawks play Wayne Gretzky and the LA Kings. What a special night. As soon as I entered the place, I immediately felt the wonderful history and tradition that only the classic buildings such as the Montreal Forum and Toronto's Maple Gardens (arenas I had visited many times before) could possess. I glanced up at the banners and reminded myself that this was the place that those great Chicago players I had grown up watching as a kid (Stan Mikita, Bobby and Dennis Hull, Elmer Vasko, Glenn Hall...) called home. Then there was that wonderful organ played so skillfully by Frank Pellico. He was playing music from "The Phantom of the Opera" as we walked in, so appropriate. And of course that incredible experience of the national anthem as performed by Wayne Messmer. Yes, I said "experience". No one could ever do the national anthem the way they did it in Chicago. And still do today across the street at The United Center thanks to Jim Corneilson and the fans. Hearing Wayne perform it was worth the price of admission all by itself. As for the game, the Blackhawks won that night, and scored so many goals I got tired of hearing that horn blaring every time they scored. I could write for pages, but in summation it was a wonderful experience and an evening I will never forget. The Stadium may be gone now, but it will live on in the memories of millions of us who were so blessed to attend an event there. I'm so lucky that I can say I was one of them. So long from Canada!

    My absolute pleasure. It was cataloged as #1 from my VHS tape collection growing up and a fond memory for me, the son of a 30+ year season ticket holder who attended the event. I'm so lucky to have been able to say I've been there.

    Watching this 25 years after the end of Chicago Stadium, I still get goose bumps down my spine. My only regret is I never did get to see a game there while it was still around.

      TheArcadeProductions may have been the last actual pipe organ in a pro sports arena.

      @@ecoRfan You might be right. I hate organs, but somehow, have a curiosity about them. Once Hammond started up, in 1934...electric organs were more wanted. Theater pipe organs (which are imitated, by electric ones) were built less after 1930. I would not surprised if this was indeed: the last one, or one of the last, ever. I'll research this and see.
