The Chicago Bulls will celebrate one of the most iconic players in franchise history, Derrick Rose, on Saturday, Jan. 4, for Derrick Rose Night, as the team hosts the New York Knicks at the United Center. Gates will open at 5 p.m., 30 minutes earlier than a normal game night, to allow fans the time to fully experience Derrick Rose Night.
Derrick Rose Night will serve as a celebration of Derrick’s retirement from the NBA, his memorable career and his contributions to the Bulls and the city of Chicago. Throughout the game, there will be special moments recognizing Derrick, his family, and
his Bulls teammates, many of whom will be in attendance as part of the night. Players on both teams will wear themed shooting shirts to honor Derrick’s time with both franchises. The shirts will display “1.4.25” across the front, signifying the day of the game as well as the jersey numbers he wore as a Bull, a Knick and as a high school player at Simeon Career Academy.
When gates open for fans on Jan. 4, the Bulls will launch the Derrick Rose Atrium Experience, supported by Advocate Health Care, BMO, Magellan Corporation and Wind Creek Casino, in the United Center atrium. The installation will showcase unique memorabilia from Derrick’s career, including items acknowledging Derrick’s career milestones, personal mementos and iconic shoe line. This display will also feature a special mosaic (8 ft. x 8 ft.), constructed in the shape of Derrick’s logo and made from photos taken throughout his career and life. As part of the experience, fans can also leave a personalized message for Derrick in a digital guestbook and take photos with a dynamic Derrick Rose hologram. The Derrick Rose Atrium Experience will also be open to the public on Monday, Jan. 6, and Tuesday, Jan. 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as for fans with tickets to the game on Jan. 6.
Fans will have opportunities to walk away with a memorable themed item, courtesy of adidas. All fans in attendance on Jan. 4 will receive a commemorative Derrick Rose-themed T-shirt. Fans can also pick up one of 5,000 commemorative roses from a flower cart in the atrium while supplies last.
Starting at 5 p.m. on Jan. 4, fans can purchase exclusive, themed retail items, including a T-shirt and hoodie available in the Madhouse Team Store; the T-shirt is also available on
Shop.Bulls.com. Limited edition souvenir cups and cookies will also be available for purchase throughout the game at arena concession stands. For more information and to buy tickets, visit
