The facility is scheduled to open in 2023.

“Being a native of the region, I can’t imagine a better way to accomplish that task than to partner with the Bulls organization and introduce ourselves to one of the largest and most loyal fan bases in professional sports. It lets us enter the market with a huge voice.”

Bulls VP of Business Development Mark Levitt said the company is looking forward to collaborating with the Bulls and hope the duo can offer basketball fans a quality experience.

Levitt commented: “We are excited to partner with Wind Creek over the next few seasons, to bring fans new in-arena competitions, social content and sweepstakes.

“This new partnership will support our ongoing efforts to further elevate the gameday experience for Bulls fans at the United Center and across our social platforms.”
