Wrigley Field has a unique place for Gen X baseball fans, as well. Growing up in the 80s, there was nothing cooler than the idea of day games at Wrigley for 2 reasons. One, because of the advent of cable TV, WGN had almost all Cubs games on, at a time that you watched many more of those than your hometown team (for me, the Cardinals). Two, Ferris Buehler. That scene from Wrigley was so cool to a 13yo.

Hi Ginger, I agree with you about old Comiskey vs new Comiskey (now Guaranteed Rate). But in all fairness, everyone wants luxury boxes, wide concourses, no posts, etc, which precludes having the upper deck hanging out over the lower deck. The modern features also tend to preclude seating of 45,000 or more in a compact stadium like old Comiskey. That said, they should have done a better job making the upper deck closer to the field. First time I had seats in the upper deck, I needed an oxygen tank and a Sherpa guide it was SO high and steep. The new Busch Stadium in St. Louis does a pretty good job balancing functionality, modern convenience, sight lines, and good capacity (about 46K). I wish they’d have done that for the White Sox park.

New Busch is nice, but I wish the upper decks were closer to the field. I've sat in the front row of the second deck near first base, and I couldn't even read the names on uniforms. It just feels far away from the field.
@OldRustySteele5 ай бұрын
@@kevinmiller6380 Kevin, I agree. They could have added a structure OUTSIDE the stands, which would add wider concourses, restaurants, etc, much the way they added onto Lambeau Field, Ohio Stadium, etc. That would have been relatively simple. I also wondered if they could have added suites on top of the upper deck, behind home plate, maybe from about 1st base to 3rd. That would have involved adding support beams, but should have been doable. I also wonder why they oriented the view to the SW rather than toward downtown. Lots of fails when they designed the current ballpark which were easy to spot, even without retrospect.
@OldRustySteele5 ай бұрын
@@DrewClark-ov5up Drew, I agree. That’s the only thing I don’t like about Busch 3. But again, as I mentioned in my first response, when you don’t use support beams (posts), you can’t cantilever the upper decks as far out toward the field. This is something that drives me nuts. If you use posts, sure, you’ll have a few seats in the back of the lower deck with obstructed views. But you’ll produce far more seats in the upper decks with primo views!

The exterior of Comiskey was beautiful with its Roman style arched windows.

If the White Sox do build a new park in the south loop, idk how the interior would look, but one of the best things they could do is directly copy the red brick exterior from Comiskey

When you are sitting behind a beam you can't see the anything, that makes them the worst stadiums. Of course it is completely subjective but 1. T-mobile park in Seattle is the best baseball stadium ever built. 2. Minute Maid Park is close, 3. Chase Field is up there with 4. Marlins Park and 5. Globe life field.. 5. PNC in Pittsburgh is the best open air stadium ever with 6.Petco in San Diego. 7. Oracle in SF 8. 9. Tie, Target Field in Minnesota and New Busch in St. Louis 10. Camden Yards as an old timer. Anything before Camden Yards except maybe Kaufman stadium even comes close (haven't seen the Dodger stadium renovations yet). Haven't seen the Nippon Ham Fighters stadium either but that would probably be in the top 5. Hope the Las Vegas could be a small version of T-mobile, Minute Maid and Target Field with views of the Strip, it would be the best stadium of all time.
