U.S. Cellular Field
Yes, I’m a lifelong CUBS fan, but I love baseball and so I jump at any opportunity to go to a MLB game. So anyway, a guy at church scored me some tickets to the White Sox – Red Sox game today…so we went. Some thoughts about U.S. Cellular Field and the White Sox:
- Beautiful field…cool architecture…I love all the exposed steel…very cool.
- For a new stadium, very small seats…although they were good seats.
- Even better, we had passes to the Stadium Club, which is basically a restaurant/bar in the right field corner. There are huge windows overlooking the field, so the second half of the game we sat overlooking the field from high up in the stadium club…very cool.
- The Red Sox POUNDED the White Sox 10-1. While it wasn’t a record, we did see a historic feat as the Red Sox are only the 4th team since 1900 to score 10 runs or more in four consecutive games against the same team.
- I feel bad for White Sox fans…as much as they try to believe that they are “Chicago baseball,” it’s just not so.
oh, charlie… no…
it is a hideous stadium, very little character.
if you really want to see a new stadium with character, get up to detroit and check out comerica park…
of course, i might be a little biased.

I would like to get to the new Tigers Stadium as well…I’ve heard that it’s cool…
I really like modern-era ballparks…in the 70’s they were ugle (Riverfront in Cincy, Three Rivers in Pitt, Busch Stadium in St. Louis)…I like that they are now going after some style…and I think it best when, like Camden Yards and Comerica Park, they try to replicate bygone era ballparks.

Oh boy. I hope my father-in-law doesn’t see this! I’m just glad your feeling about the White Sox didn’t come out before our wedding because I’m not sure we would have been allowed to have you preform the ceremony!

It’s not that I don’t respect white sox fans…i just pity them…
of course this coming from a fan of a team that last won the world series in 1908. LOL!

My sister’s boyfriend recently proposed to her. He’s a great guy and I’m really excited for her. A few days ago I found out he is a Sox fan. I think they need to call off the wedding.
