Which side should I sit on so I see the hawks on offense twice?
November 12, 2025
I’m going to get tickets center ice but want to know what side the hawks will be on offense in the 1st and 3rd period. Seats to the left of center ice? Or seats to the right?

Left side of this image. My dad had season tickets in 223. They were GREAT seats. Last row on the aisle, bathroom right outside the entrance and a food spot. Plus we always got to see the Hawks offense twice.
You want to be further from the hawks bench.
My family used to have season tickets in section 117 just a few rows above the doors/tunnel for the zamboni. Thats was the hawks offensive zone for the 1st and 3rd period, so providing nothing has changed the left side of the map is where you wanna go for offense.

I’m in 333. That’s where 2x occurs
Always the side the Blackhawk logo is looking at. (Left in this image)
People are giving helpful info but I’ll take it one further for you. Always sit on the side where the bench/penalty for [your chosen] opponent is. The team you’re cheering for will always attack that side twice.
If you’re at the United Center, the Visitor bench side is where to target.
To add to this, definitely check other sites too like seatgeek or Gametime. Me and a buddy found 200 level tickets for like 100 bucks on there recently.
218-220 best
My favorite seats at the UC are the first rows of sections 224 or 225. Perfect height to see the entire ice clearly and close to see everything as well. It’s the side where the Hawks shoot at twice as well.
Tbh even the 300 sections in the same area are legit.
I’m in 321, goal corner where Hawks shoot twice. Love my seats.
From a season tix holder 218 is choice
Section 120 season ticket gang checking in. I was in the 300 level for years but moved to 100 last year but still on the shoot twice side…highly recommend. Camera crew likes to hang out around this section so a decent chance to get on the Jumbotron.
