My God, this place is a horrible example of a ball park. Alhough it is empty all the time and you can sit where you want. It still a horrible place to watch a game. Much like the team lacks fans. This place lacks class. I only hope they don't make the Cubs play here durring renovation. although 5 sguare miles of parking is a plus. And at least the park district might sell out the seats for a change.

The sports bar up stairs had the worst food ever!

Went to see Sox/Angels game. Had a great time. This ball park is clean and full of real baseball fans. I even met a Cub fan that not only enjoyed the game but loved the park. He could not believe that no matter where you sit you can see all the action. I grew up 2 blocks from Wrigley Field and attended both Cub and Sox games. You do have to admit that U.S. Cellular is a better ball park than Wrigley. I still do take in a few games a year at Wrigley.
Came to this park from Detroit in 2008 to catch a Tigers game. This park is stuck inbetween and struggles to find an identity to me. It lacks a lot of the luxury of the newer parks but isn't an old classic like Wrigley or Fenway. The seats in the upper level are awful and at a terrible angle. Sox fans are also really rude and immature wherever they are and that includes their home park. Nothing compared to Wrigley!
My god this place is as horrible as the team that inhabits it. The neighborhood is awful, and abandoned. I would never want to take my children here. Weren't they suposed to have rennovated this place. You still can't judge the game from the upper deck, not that you have to cause even the supposed fans dont even show up to this stink pit.
The two times i was here this year ,it was the same. Rude service, rough neighborhood, cold food, etc. No wonder people dont go to games here. It is better to watch the games on tv.
The food is good, however from the upper deck you cannot judge where any ball is going. Even with the supposed rennovations to a brand new ball park the place still sucks. If you go to a sox game you might also want to bring along a bullit proof vest. The local neighbors over there like taking shots at the seats from their apartments. After the game you can't go anywhere but home. The mayor made sure to close all the bars in the area . essentialy the park is surrounded by one big parking lot. Lots of parking for a team that has so few fans. I can't believe they would stick the tax payers with such a hell hole of a ball park when you have other cities building far superior stadiums.

Quite 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!!!

The 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.

With 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.

I'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.

The 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.

This 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.

I 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.

Im 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.

Where 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.

If 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.

At 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...
