Very true, but it's no where near what it was with the old Chicago Stadium. My dad had no clue how bad it as when we showed up to a Blackhawks game 4 hours early. Walking around the UC is a world of difference then back then.
Regardless, it was an 8 dollar cab ride from our hotel. Had a nice Italian food joint down from the Billy Goat that was pretty damn good. Only thing that killed me was the beer prices. The last Hawks game I went to, beer was around 6 bucks. I'm guessing because it was a UFC event, they were selling beer for 9.50. This wasn't a tall draft beer either. This beer came out of an aluminum bottle. Not sure if it was the section we were sitting in (200 Club Level) or what, but that's the most expensive I've ever seen a beer at an event.
