The Blackhawks and hockey community are mourning the loss of Stan Mikita, who died on Tuesday at the age of 78 after a long illness. He made an impact on many, not just on the ice but off of it as well.
Fans will be able to pay their respects to the Blackhawks legend during a public visitation on Sunday, Aug. 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. inside the United Center Atrium, where Mikita will lie in state. Parking will be available in Lot C, which is located directly north of the United Center between Madison St. and Warren Blvd.
