For anyone who may be interested, 'Chance The Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day!' sold out concert on Saturday will be streamed for a fee at the charged TIDAL.com website:

Apparently this concert will break the all time attendance record at (New) Comiskey Park / U.S. Cellular Field. I suspect that seats were sold in the outfield and bleachers behind the stage. But in order to break any records, that extra seating has to be greater than the 8 rows of upper deck seats which still existed during the 2 previous sold out concerts in 2002 and 2003.

there's no way in hell this concert has more than 47k people in the park. The field seating won't compensate.

 

Ac/D.C. Was sold out at wrigley last year and the official attendance was 29k(park holds 41k for baseball. )

I went to a Wrigley concert a few years ago and if I remember right, they didn't sell any bleacher seats because you couldn't see the stage at all. If they are selling every available seat for this show, they would easily have way more than the concerts at Wrigley.

That's only 2500 seats lost. And field seating usually covers that difference.

 

As for the sox, they took out 6800 seats. The stated capacity of 40k factors in the outfield seats. There's no way they allow 7000 people on roger bossards field two days before a game.

This is why we need hoverboards.

Article from Chicago Tribune today:

 

Bertuca said more than 44,000 tickets have been sold for the event and new areas were being opened up as of Thursday morning. The park's modern-day attendance record of 47,609 was set at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 2003.

They opened up seating in the OF, behind the stage. I know because that where my seats are for tomorrow.

Wow, Kanye surprise appearance looked like a modern Disco Demo night. Floods of people jumping over fences and in to the bullpen bar and over porta-potties to get to the stage. Security didn't even try to stop the waves of hundreds of kids charging.

Ladies and gentlemen, the last concert at sox park!

Meh, they didn't cause any trouble when they got to the field, they just need to figure out that people may use the bullpen as way to get to the field and staff security there.

 

Or maybe if someone as big as Kanye is going to show up, let the people/security know when! That place lost it's mind when he appeared.

Here's Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot review and photos:

And redeye's review. Don't know why they are using a photo taken at a different Chance The Rapper concert:

Here's a video when Kanye West joined Chance The Rapper on stage. Weather seems perfect. The stage looks huge, totally obstructing the view for anyone sitting in the outfield. I like the White Sox logos on the video screens at both sides of the stage:

Didntheynleave the field after the reality show star left the stage? I'm guessing not.
