Thu Aug 21 2008This field is trash! i went here, and then vommited. The smell is terrible, i see r ,ats on the field during the game... Wait thats Ozzie Guillen! He is soo ugly and makes the stadium look worse, which it is already bad enough... But the sox are terrible, and i want my money back, i complained to Kenny Williams (the GM) personally. He told me to shut the **** up, i then cried, and on top of that i still had to watch the game. Do not take family/friends the fans get extremly.. well, horny during the game. They should sign Richie Sexson.. This field smells also like connies pizza, which i hate! Do not go there either!

Tue Apr 08 2008Quite possibly one of the most modern ballparks in the US. I remember when the park was first built in the early 1990s to replace old Comiskey Park. Ironically, this IS and STILL Comiskey Park to me (stupid corporate sponsoring renamed and recolored the park from blue to black). Compared to Wrigley, this is considered to be the ballpark for the "New Generation", equipped with digital scoreboard, lights, and fireworks. It's easier to get to as well either via Red or Green Lines to 35th or finding on-site parking in their lots. The food is so much better than the North Side counterpart, and the history of the park and the 2005 Would Series Champions White Sox is displayed all over the park. On hot summer days, they provided a 'sprinkler room" to help cool you down from the hot sun. this is indeed the park for the "new Generation" of Chicago baseball fans and will probably be around well past Wrigley's time. GO GO WHITE SOX!!!

Sun Oct 22 2006Overview Formerly known as Comiskey Park, the new name comes with more improvements to the fan experience. In the early '90s, the Sox razed the original "baseball palace of the world" after 80 years of service and built the new version, complete with super-wide concourses, deluxe concessions, seats with cup holders, plenty of bathrooms and a sports bar overlooking right field. There's not a bad view in the house. The upper deck is steep (a 35-degree angle), with some seats high enough to view Lake Michigan. The Experience Helping to keep that old Sox spirit alive, some elements from the old stadium remain, including a look-alike scoreboard that lights up after home runs and a shower for fans in the bleachers.

Sun Jun 06 2004The park has evolved quite a bit since it was built. The recent additions continue to add to the fan experience by offering better views of the game, more concessions and an improved scoreboard (I wish they would show more replays). The park is much safer than people tend to beleive and has convienient parking and el access.

Mon Apr 19 2004With another renovation phase complete, this park is even more enjoyable. Always a great place to watch a game with great fans. The drive to and parking is very accessible, tasty concessions, and perfect for a Father and son to spend a good time together.

Sat Jan 17 2004I've been to 26 MLB stadiums and Comisky is average. The food and beer are good. The seats, not so good. I sat in the 500 level for the homerun derby and almost lost my balance after a few beverages.

Thu Aug 07 2003The park is unbelievably underrated. It's a great place to watch a game. Any seat in the lower deck is terrific. Some seats in the upper deck are good too. Unlike at Wrigley, fans here really care about the game and their team. The concessions are top rate. Exploding scoreboard and fireworks are lots of fun. Organist Nancy Faust is a legend. Access is very easy by el or by car. Unlike Wrigley, a great place to bring the kids. The seats in the upper reaches of the upperdeck are not good, but no worse than other new retro stadiums. Plus rumor has it the team is planning to address this issue in upcoming renovations. Neighborhood is not as bad as some people think and it's improving. Too bad most people are so blinded by their unconditional love of Wrigley because this is a better place to watch a game.

Fri Jul 11 2003This park is way underrated, especially after the renovations which have made it feel much more intimate. Sure it doesn't have old-world charm, but it is a great place to watch a game, when there are more than 25,000 the stadium rocks! The food is great and there is so much to do.

Fri Apr 25 2003I usually head over to Wrigley whenever I'm in Chicago but last season I took in the final game of the Sox and had a blast. I found the new Comiskey to be a beautiful park with great seats, good food and good fans who know the game. I usually go to 10-15 games a year at different ballparks and plan on Comiskey being one of those trips from now on.

Sat Feb 08 2003Im a big fan of the White Sox, but not overly happy about the stadium. Not because I dont like it, because they screwed up. Instead of facing Chicago'd beautiful skyline, you see the projects. Seating is comftorable but the Upper Deck is quite a haul to climb. Their aren't many seats that disrupt your vision, but the very corner, in the UD is rough on the eyes. Seats are comftorable, and the food is very good. Homes near Comiskey are very nice now and the area is starting to un ghetto tize.

Tue Feb 04 2003Where else would you rather spend your time than at the old ballpark. Comiskey is a beautiful modern stadium with a team that actually finishes 1st or second every year. Additionally, you could actually drive your car there and park. If you ask someone in the stadium the score of the game they may actually know it. The sound system is decent and the best player in the stadium is Nacy Faust playing the latest jingles on the Hamond organ. This is a great place to bring the kids and a great place to actually watch baseball. If ya don't like the upper deck, quit bitching and buy a lower level seat. You could afford if you didn't waste your time and money at Wrigley.

Wed Dec 04 2002If you were to bring a kid to Comiskey and then bring them to Wrigley, the Kid would say they had a lot more fun at Comiskey. The WHite Sox, just about every year have a better team then the lovable loser Cubs. Sundays only $1 for kids and they get to the bases too. Batting cages, pitching clinics and a resturant just for kids. And the kids don't have to throw a HR ball back on the field like the vineyard. A kid could walk around the park safely. Great modern day scoreboard. Best Food. Mondays and Tuesdays Half Price games. Plenty of parking of only $13 ( Vineyard $25++) So if you want to bring your kids to see how baseball is to be played, Comiskey is the place. And the upperdeck seats are no higher then most new ball parks.

Mon Aug 26 2002At first I was afraid to go because of the large crouds. When we got there it was a nice location and good seats. Frank went deep and Maggs had a great night. Will come back next time I'm in town...

Thu Jul 25 2002Comiskey is a great place to lay back and watch a game of baseball. Personally, I like it better than Wrigley where you are crammed into seats with no leg room and then end up behind a poll! All the seats in Comiskey offer great views!

Mon Jun 17 2002Comiskey Park is getting better with each phase of renovations. After the third and final phase, Comiskey will be up to par as some of the retro stadiums. Go Sox!

Wed Jun 12 2002There's something Disneyland-ish about this ballpark--it just looks sort of anticeptic and plastic. But once you're settled in, it's a great place to watch a game. The sightlines are good (probably because you feel like you're right on top of the field) and the tickets are nicely priced. Clean bathrooms and a variety of concessions make it quite comfortable. I'll definitely go back.

Mon Jun 03 2002I have always loved the old and now new Comisky Park. The seats are at a extremely high angle, but for me it's fun to down from the top!

Mon May 20 2002Let's compare it to Wrigley. The tickets are cheaper here. Great day-of-game tickets are available. They actually have 'waiters' at Comiskey, and the home team usually wins. There is still a bigger place in my heart for the Cubbies -- but recently I begun to warm up more to the Sox for the reasons above.

Wed May 15 2002Only been to this ballpark once, but i don't think i'll be back. the upper seats are at such an extreme angle that i kept getting dizzy whenever i'd stand up. it's not a very personable place--though i have to admit that the concessions blow away even wrigley.

Tue May 14 2002Sure, they're pricey -- but the 300 level seats are somewhat luxurious. No crowds anywhere -- even when the rest of the park is packed (which is rare). Order your hot dogs, brats and beer (and even turkey panini) and it's brought to you in a matter of minutes. Run a tab and pay at the end of the game -- a pseudo-luxury box for $26 a ticket.
