Considering the joint owners are Rocky Wirtz (Blackhawks) and Jerry Reinsdorf (Bulls) I don't think the revenue stream means much.

Crain's Chicago Business reports: Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz are working to put together a privately funded $75-$85 million development on a parking lot east of United Center.

The 260,000-square-foot development, which could include restaurancts, bars, a team store, event space and team offices, would connect with the stadium's east side via an atrium-like entrance.

Well it was the original Madhouse on Madison. So I would say the atmosphere was "mad".

Any time I hear about it, there is usually a mention of how loud it was, which was very loud.
