From the Tribune:
“United Center is currently working with the Bulls to explore options to repair these banners,” United Middle communications stated in an announcement. “While the banners will not be in place for the remainder of this season, we do anticipate them being back in place next season.”
The United Middle reportedly hoped the banners could be prepared in time for Thursday’s recreation, however it seems the injury was vital sufficient to take the timeline previous the tip of the NBA common season in April.
These banners date again to the Bulls championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. In the event you want fun, think about somebody explaining all of this to Michael Jordan.
