I am not sure why this park gets no love.. I went there several years ago and had a great time. Easy access in and out, fans were absolutely amazing, food and drink prices were the lowest I had seen from many of the parks I had been to. Very good sight lines and overall I think it’s one of my favorite MLB stadiums and I have been to 19
What toll_booth said. I went as a kid. The upper deck was scary the. Improvements have been made and it's very fan friendly now. The big issue is that it's in the south side. If this was in Wrigleyville, everyone would fawn over it.
Great Ball park to watch a game what true baseball fans know how to do not just drink and party like that other ball park crosstown let's Go White Sox we are one team one city on the rise!
My God, what a young ignoramus you are. I don't HATE the White Sox -- how could you? What a young, talented, exciting ballteam they are (except for their manager, of course, who's a self-important pain-in-the-ass, just as Lou Piniella was). But White Sox fans have such a resentful, pathetic inferiority complex, that they have to keep repeating this stale, dishonest trope in the same spirit as Goebbels' Big Lie: if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it's true. When I first began going to Cubs' games, I was often among crowds of 3,000 to 5,000 fans. They were terrible teams, but still we went because we loved the beautiful, pure game and we loved our team, regardless of how pathetic they usually were. We loved the game and we lived in the hope that someday they would put a visionary genius in charge: a Veeck. An Epstein. And finally, they did. My mother passed away in 2011 at the age of 97, having NEVER in her hard-working, long-suffering life seen the Cubs win a World Series. And now, you are so resentful of our hard-won and long-deferred success, that you feel the need to tar us with this dishonest slur -- that we don't know baseball and only go to party. It's bullshit. I'm a Cub fan. My high school team was ranked #1 in the state of Illinois. My older cousin singled and tripled against Denny McClain, the '68 AL Cy Young winner and MVP. My college English professor (Bart Giamatti) became Commissioner of Baseball. And I've forgotten more about baseball than you know.
A relative in Chicago told me a long time ago that if they had faced the stadium in the other direction you would have had the Chicago skyline in the outfield. I can now visualize what she was talking about.
Yup that’s a missed opportunity. The same is with Rogers Centre in Toronto, if they opened it up and had it face the other way you’d be able to see the beautiful skyline.
Ok idiots I’m a white six fan and what you don’t understand the owner did that for a reason it’s facing NYC where he was born and raised and why point it north when it clearly represents the south.......God do you people understand Logic!!!
I know that the name of this park hasn't changed as much as the joke of a stadium in south Florida I always call [Your Name Here] Stadium, but it's too bad that the team couldn't have just kept it as "Comiskey Park" or even "White Sox Park." If the Cubs don't need to sell the naming rights to their stadium, why not the Sox?
Cool video bro, the stadium location reminds me of the oakland Coliseum. Just a bigass stadium on the outskirts. Is the area around the stadium even that bad to what people make it out to be?
It's actually a decent area. Bridgeport has plenty of shops and restaurants not that far from the ballpark (but still quite a walk), and on the other side of the highway, you got Bronzeville, and there are colleges there, and that area has been fixed up very well. It's not a bad area at all. Go further south, say past Hyde Park, and then you have the crime infested South Side neighborhoods.
Until u control the parking scammers who vandalize your car when u won’t pay them to park because they’re scammers my family nor myself will attend any games. NEED TO START BY GETTING A NEW MAYOR THEN MAYOR BEETLE JUICE. Since she’s taken office I have no desire to come to Chicago period!! What a shame!! My friends took their son for his bday because that’s all he wanted. They got cursed at n car kicked n spit on because they didn’t want to give these parking scammers money. Afraid to leave their car fearing more damage would be done n fearing even more their safety especially for their little boy. What a bad impression that left their son who couldn’t understand why they turned around n went home. As expensive as the tickets are to start with but to buy tickets then u can’t use them because u fear for your safety n the safety of your family is UNBELIEVABLE N UNACCEPTABLE that this is still going on.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. My palace, my cathedral, and my home away from home. I still, and forever will call it Comiskey. NO MATTER WHAT. Thank you for the last 3 decades of Pale Hose Baseball.
I still love that place despite all it's flaws, but my favorite ballpark is still Dodger Stadium. If you haven't been there yet, I recommend you visit. Just make sure you don't wear black and orange.
It's called Comiskey Park.. I wasn't in the title.. just letting you know.. Comiskey was a Jewish ball player and a self made man. He built the team and the original park with his own money. The original park housed almost every negro league world series and was the first desegregated park in MLB... Makes you wonder why one of the last places to desegregate and the first corporate named stadium still stands on the Northside as a "beacon" of baseball history. Also why was the all star game moved from the one of the blackest MLB cities to the whitest MLB city over voter ID law?.. turns out Colorado is actually a bit more strict about voting then GA even after the new GA law.. WAKE UP Woke people!
