United Centre Chicago – home of the Bulls and Blackhawks
USA - The celebrated home of the champion Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks now features a 190,000 sq.ft addition with power distribution and trussing installed by Upstaging. Opened to the public last fall, the new atrium features the stadium’s box office as well as an expansive team store, dining options, business offices, and the eternally popular Michael Jordan statue, now indoors and artfully lit. Six-circuit power for the addition’s creative lighting includes nearly 3,000ft of white ProMolded 12/14 multicable assemblies.
“For this job, the ProMolded overmold assemblies were perfect for several reasons,” says Upstaging’s Steve Wojda. “First, everything had to be white and ProMolded 12/14 cable assemblies are available in a variety of custom colours. Second, in order to pass municipal codes, the 19-pin connectors must be tamper-proof and the entire assemblies must be Listed.
“Finally, our confidence in TMB Pro Cables assemblies, connectors, and cables is borne out by experience. We’ve used ProCable multicables since their introduction almost 30 years ago. We maintain a large inventory and use them time and again, year after year.”
Located in Sycamore, Illinois, Upstaging is a recognised innovator in event production, signage and graphics, and custom displays. From concept to production, Upstaging’s experienced staff tailors and fabricates all their designs to the customer’s unique requirements. Steve Wojda was the project manager for the United Centre installation.
