Thanks, man! I agree that it’s completely underrated. It had a great feel and atmosphere to it. Also, best fans in the MLB that I’ve come across thus far. I loved the passion for the team. I’d love to go back and cheer for the Sox.

@@SACSportsAdventures hi mate enjoyed your video I’m a white sox fan. Was wondering do you like the AFL do you watch it and do you have a AFL team??

Underrated?! It’s universally considered one of the worst in MLB, maybe just after Oakland. I haven’t been there since probably the late 90s, but at least then, it was like the most impersonal experience of watching baseball. They had to reduce seating capacity by thousands to make it less of a giant billboard filled corporate behemoth of a place. They’ve kind of done the opposite with Wrigley, which is sad.

It sucked before the renovations but now it is pretty good imo

@@MattSezer that's why they're saying it's UNDER RATED. because it's always viewed as one of the worst. i get it's not as personal as Wrigley, but I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. I think it's a nice stadium. If they ever integrate the neighborhood with it rather than keeping it isolated from the city than it would be awesome.

Thanks so much. I really enjoyed it and it surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to go back and cheer for the White Sox. Best fans in baseball that I’ve come across so far.

Mad respect to you saying that as a Cubs fan. I think you’re right about that. I also did a review of Wrigley Field and a few other Chicago teams if you want to check those out!

@@SACSportsAdventures You really hit it out of the park with this video! Also, at 7:52 I see your last name is Collins which is same as me

@dj. It's neat to hear from your perspective. I, as fan of the White Sox, will say Wrigley Field is a prettier ballpark.

Thanks so much! The passion from the fan base was fantastic! I’ve got 20 of these reviews out so far with several more in the queue and lots of trips planned this summer. We’re full steam ahead!

@@SACSportsAdventures The Indians will always be the Indians. Cleveland Indians

That’s awesome! What a fantastic experience! Thanks so much for sharing.

I saw Fisk on numerous occasions in full dress on the concourse, because that was the only way they could get to the batting cages

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed the visit and want to get back again soon and cheer for the Sox. The fan base is so passionate and I’d love to be cheering with them instead of against for a game.

@@SACSportsAdventures highly recommend checking out the bullpen sports bar in RF on your next visit. Great spot to hangout before the game. I think it’s one of the more unique parts of the GRF experience but isn’t one that’s obvious when looking at the park on tv

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I’ve got a lot more videos on the way and need to keep pushing to get more out. Thanks for the support!

@SAC Sports Adventures NP bro ima always show love when someone has high quality content! One thing that really stood out to me that is unique you actually show the box/loge suites in the stadiums and arenas you visit. I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to do these videos bro! Thank You again for providing us quality content 🙏🏽

That is extremely true! I was going to make a video comparing the experiences at Wrigley vs Comiskey/Guaranteed Rate and ticket prices should be a major talking point. You can’t even get into Wrigley for anything like under $80.

Although, unlike Wrigley, US Cellular will not let cheaper ticket holders wander around the concessions and whatnot of the lower concourse. When you buy cheaper tickets, you are trapped up at the top at this park, essentially.

I'd rather watch 2 Girls, 1 Cup, than go to Wrigley Field. Cubs suck donkeys!⚾️

Yeah!! I’m looking forward to the new season! Hopefully you’ll make it to some Sox games. I’ve got a few other baseball stadium reviews out so far and have lots of places planned to visit this summer that I’m super excited for!

Thanks so much, man! I really appreciate that. Trying to get to get videos out more regularly and have a lot of stadium reviews queued up.

Noted! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. I hope to make it back and cheer for the Sox next time. I loved the environment and the White Sox community has been so kind to me through comments on this video.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I loved it there and can’t wait to get back!

I agree. It made it a much more closed in and intimate environment.

​@@SACSportsAdventures do you watch Depressed Ginger? He does a lot of reviews on stadiums. That's actually how I found you through my recommended list.

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed it there!

Actually, Bob Feller was with the Cleveland Indians, now the Guardians.

Glad you enjoyed. Great ballpark.

I couldn’t agree more. When I go to different ballparks I love being able to freely explore the whole park and check out all the different views it has to offer. Being limited to one level made me feel like I didn’t get as much out of it.

That is so true. They all have different vibes.

@@ronnieharwell8236 very true

Thank you so much!

It’s such a fun park! We need to get down there sometime! They have some pretty cheap seats up high.

That’s great to hear! A lot of times that area will get a bad reputation which is inaccurate. I spoke to some fans at the game who were telling me about the culture and community of the area and that the it doesn’t deserve the poor reputation. Thanks so much for the insight!

Of course! I actually really enjoyed it.

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind if I go back. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long; life has gotten busy and I got behind on editing. It feels really good to finally get this one out and there’s a lot more to follow! Thank you so much for the comment and the support!

Agreed! And totally underrated.

Yes! So underrated! I really enjoyed it a lot and hope to return and join the passionate White Sox fans in a game when they’re not playing a team I like.

Interesting! I really want to try to go back and cheer for the Sox. The fan enthusiasm in the game was outstanding. Massive respect!

Interesting! Good to know. I’ll check that out someday if the prices aren’t too crazy!

Super underrated stadium. I’d love to make it back and cheer for the Sox sometime!

@@SACSportsAdventures I would agree. I have been to about 10 stadiums in my life. I hope to get to them all by the end of my life. I think our food is top 3 in all of baseball. Would love to see you at a game one day. Enjoy and safe travels.

That would be extremely interesting and a fantastic place for a ballpark right on the Lake. I agree with you that it doesn’t live up to the old ballpark but I still really enjoyed it.

That’s a fair assessment. It’s super underrated and the updates they’ve made have done wonders.

I’ve heard that the nacho helmet is really good but I didn’t get the chance to try many of their options. I also have reviews for Wrigley and Miller Park so be sure to check those out as well! That sounds like an amazing trip following around your team!

I’d agree with that. Too bad they can’t just rotate the ballpark 90°

Yeah, it’s not the best but not as bad as some make it out to be.

Contrary to other ratings I actually loved it. Haha! I loved how closed in and intimate it feels because of the banners in the outfield. The fans were the best fans in baseball that I’ve seen. It was one of my best experiences at an MLB game. Let me know your thoughts after you watch the video.

Yeah! That’s awesome!

That’s great insight! Thanks so much. I think it would be super cool for them to face the stadium towards downtown as well.

I read online that they had ones in the old stadium because the owner wanted the first "exploding scoreboard" after home runs.

Interesting! I didn’t know that. Thanks so much for the info!

That’s awesome! Even more of a coincidence is that July 30 is my birthday! Haha!

It’s super underrated and I’d love to make it back and cheer for the Sox. The atmosphere was superb!

Thanks so much! I’ve got a lot of other stadium reviews out so far and a packed full schedule of stadium visits and videos this summer! I really enjoyed the White Sox stadium and how passionate the fan base was.

Thank you you too! Hope you enjoyed it.

Just now realized what this was. Haha! Thank you so much for the support.

It’s so underrated and I think the fans truly made it fantastic. It’s so tight and intimate which makes it awesome to watch a ballgame there. I’d love to come back for a game and cheer for the Sox!

Comisky park was torn down and replaced by guaranteed us cellular field

I think being in the first few rows behind or beside the dugout would be best. From where I was, it was too far up to really interact with the players. Hope you have a great time!

Fair point. Now it’s just the highway and you couldn’t be able to see much. I still really like that closed in feel as it makes it more of a focused environment.

That’s a great point! The black does make the stadium appear really dark.

Yes, correct. When I drive through Chicago I just refer to it as “94” instead of the full name.

Totally an underrated venue!

Dude was on fire that night. Amazing to witness! Even as a Cleveland fan it was awesome to see.

Good to know! It seemed like that north one was the main entrance and that was kind of an odd layout. Thanks so much for the comment!

@@SACSportsAdventures It is an odd layout, and I would agree that it is the “main” one, although we don’t have one as main as other stadiums. Thank you for coming by and giving a nice review!

@@jameserickson5372 Of course, I loved the stadium and can’t wait to get back! I see you’re a Blackhawks fan… I may or may not have been at the game tonight and just now got home. Go Jackets! I’ll have a United Center Stadium Review in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for that.

@@SACSportsAdventures sweet! Looked like a fun game to be at with all the goals, especially for your Jackets. The UC is one of those places where there isn't a bad seat in the house (except maybe right next to the press boxes). Love going there for Hawks games, and Bulls games are very fun as well. I suggest going back for a Bulls game if you even have the smallest interest in basketball. Keep up the good work!

@@SACSportsAdventures are you from Cleveland ??

Yeah! I also went to Wrigley last summer and have a stadium review of it and loved how I could easily go up to the highest row of the ballpark. Be sure to go check that one out. Each ballpark in Chicago has its own things to love about it. I’m thinking about making a video comparing the two.

Yes! The tailgating aspect of it was fantastic! Not something I expected from a ballpark in the city.

Giordano’s out in Rosemont by O’Hare. It was the easiest location to go to before parking and hopping on the blue line since we were coming in from the north.

Haha! No worries. Someone else pointed that out too. Sorry about that and thanks for correcting me.

At the entrance to each level they check your ticket an additional time. It’s super weird and means you can’t go to the upper level if you’re seats are in the lower level and vice versa.

@@SACSportsAdventures I went today rays vs Whitesox I met franco

@@twistedevanraystv3449 that’s awesome! Hope you had a great time and glad you saw a winner!

@@SACSportsAdventures thanks I’m a rays fan tho

@@twistedevanraystv3449 Never mind. Hahaha! I also like the Rays. They’re wither my fourth or fifth favourite depending on how I’m feeling.

Haha! Yeah.That would be a little strange if the band name was on the train out in right field. Thanks so much for the comment!

@@SACSportsAdventures You had a ball down there at Guaranteed Rate Field at that White Sox game

@@kjchicago1 it was a fantastic time! Feel free to check out some of the other Chicago stadiums I’ve visited as well!

… oops. Hahaha!

That’s a great idea! Any suggestions of what the best food is?

@@SACSportsAdventures Mushroom Cap Veggie Burger, Smoked Wings, Pretzel-Wrapped Bratwurst, and the rainbow cones sliced not scooped. And the famous Comiskey Burger. Every year there are changes even the fans find something new each season lol

@@Chuychubacca Noted! The pretzel wrapped bratwurst sounds right up my alley. I’m not sure if I’m going to make it back this year since I have a lot of my summer already booked with stadium visits but I’ll try and whenever I do, I think a video of some fun food options would be a fantastic idea! Thanks for all the suggestions!

@@SACSportsAdventures yeah I subscribed to you, I'd like to see other stadiums you attend I know every one have their own thing that makes them unique. That's the best part, the traditions, food, atmosphere. Looking forward to your future videos

@@Chuychubacca thanks so much! I really appreciate that. I’ve got a lot of exciting stuff coming up!

I think the old Comiskey was a little too far gone for major renovations. The changes they’d want to make to modernize it would have had serious structural implications and it would probably be more costly than building a new ballpark. Regardless, I still thing this stadium looks fantastic!

@@SACSportsAdventures They would have to do something like they did at Lambeau Field for the Packers, where they built a surrounding structure which would greatly increase the width of the food concourses. Then, they would have had to go upward from that structure to build a 3rd deck above the existing 2nd deck (which was the top deck). Not sure if a new 3rd deck would be the luxury boxes, or if they’d have made part of the 2nd into the boxes and had the new 3rd just new cheap seats. But you’re right, it would have been a major project, and perhaps not worth the money. I lived in suburban Chicago in the late 80’s and early 90’s when New Comiskey was built. First time I went there, me and my kids were in the top deck way out by the LF foul pole. I nearly got vertigo, it was so high and steep. Sometime in the early ‘00’s, they removed the top 7-10 rows (I don’t remember exactly how many), and put a different, larger roof on which made it feel a bit more comfortable and more “basebally”. Before that renovation, the top rows felt more like Shea Stadium, or even a big football stadium.

Not a white Sox fan though. Haha!

That would have been amazing. The old stadium faced NE towards downtown.

I did a Stadium Review at Wrigley as well! Both are unique and have their own things to love about them.

Not as bad as people say for sure. I enjoyed it.

I guess Jerry is the man! Need to remember that for next time.

@SAC Sports Adventures nah Jerry gotta go. Cheapest owner around

@@17331833 oh! I see what you mean now. Haha!

I 100% agree! The old stadium was oriented towards downtown but since it was two tiers all the way around there was no view. Massive missed opportunity and it sucks that the only view you can get now is from the (unaccessible to 100 level ticket holders) upper deck.

They don’t build baseball stadiums oriented due west anywhere due to the sub

@@subg8858 you clearly don’t know Chicago geography. Downtown is NORTH.

@@subg8858 in fact it’d be near impossible to build a stadium at a location where the downtown skyline would be due west, unless you plopped it down in Lake Michigan

I believe the issue was the sun's direction which is why they could not.

Thanks so much! I loved the White Sox stadium and the energy from the crowd. Haha! I don’t think you’re wrong about that. I much prefer calling it Comiskey II.

I visited there last summer and have a stadium review of it. Go check it out and let me know what you think! I loved it there! Fantastic experience.

Haha! I assume you’re not a fan of “Guardians” then. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you enjoyed!

@@SACSportsAdventures nope I'm a southsider go soxs

@@SACSportsAdventures guardians sound like the generic Cleveland baseball team

@@keyshawnscott12 Fair enough. It is rather bland. Did I do your team’s ballpark justice? Any thing major I left out?

@@SACSportsAdventures next time go up to the 500 level you can get a good view of the field and the downtown skyline even see the Dan Ryan and trains also the tickets are very cheap it's a no brainer

Yeah, I realized that mistake. My bad.

@@SACSportsAdventures It's all good, a common mistake. Review was great though. The park has been MAJORLY improved since its original state in the 1990's. It used to be way too sterile, blue, and bland. Now it at least has character.

Yeah… I’ve gotten that one a few times. My bad.

Nah. I’m not a big ketchup fan. I like to keep it plain and simple. But I see what you mean… with a little bit of ketchup suddenly my hot dog has transformed into a healthy fruit! I love it.

@@SACSportsAdventures hot dogs on ketchup is good bro 😎

Good point! I’ve never thought about that but you’re right.

I think every ballpark has something special about it that makes it unique. This being build during the traditional period obviously makes those special and unique characteristics not as obvious as other parks but they’re still there. Thanks so much for watching!

Not sure how to interpret that but okay. Haha!

Oh yeah, no doubt that the naming rights is horrible.

Interesting. I didn’t see anything like that.
