Mr. Showtime 15 Report post Posted January 26 https://www.nwherald.com/2019/01/25/white-sox-goose-island-revamp-two-outfield-sections-at-guaranteed-rate-field/ah0cnxy/ Quote The White Sox and Goose Island Beer Co. are revamping two sections at Guaranteed Rate Field for the 2019 season, according a rendering and an email obtained by the Northwest Herald. Sections 106 and 107 in right field at the South Side ballpark are being rebuilt in cooperation with Goose Island, the official craft beer partner of the Sox. The Sox have not officially announced the changes yet but have informed season ticket holders in those sections. The area will feature three rows of premium, leather seating with armrests and cup holders. Those seats also will have access to waiters. One such row will be at field level. These seats also will include a small TV and charging ports for mobile devices. An additional row – aligned with the front row of section 105 next to it – will feature wide, padded seats and access to a waiter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GREEDY 95 Report post Posted January 26 This section will be money, especially if the team goes on a run and the place starts filling up. Many of us have grown accustom to plenty of space and clear sight lines. It isn't quite as enjoyable of an experience at the park with a 300 pounder 108ing in your lap.

Oh well, still really cool seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buehrle>Wood 241 Report post Posted January 26 Yeah this seems like the end of the bullpen sports bar. Lame if so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsCalledComiskey 31 Report post Posted January 26 Im curious if they are willing to give some type of consideration (compensation) to those season ticket holders. Until 5 years ago we held four seats in section 106. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For about 4 years now, my buddy and I have gotten a ticket plan with the $7 cheap seats, then we pay the $15 upgrade to sit on the upper level of the bullpen bar where we had our own table, and server. It was a great way to enjoy a game for $22. And now that's gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliusO1274 46 Report post Posted January 28 Imo they should renovate more for the new rebuild era. They should alter the outfield wall dimensions and change the overall aesthetic behind the outfield walls. We have one of the dullest looking parks in the majors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

35thstreetswarm 89 Report post Posted January 28 I am more worried by this than any tweet in the Machado thread. I had dreams of making the Craft Kave my home away from home during the coming resurgence. It's perfect. I pray they don't ruin it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmags 1,475 Report post Posted January 28 Not great for die-hard fans, but honestly could see this doing pretty well for sox overall. Already had some friends (that are not sox fans) text interest in going (at this point I am the only sox fan that anyone knows apparently) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWSpalehoseCWS 287 Report post Posted January 29 Sucks that they are re-doing that kraft cave, but I am very intrigued by the new seating. It looks like it could be a fun place to be, or a shit-show in the making. Probably much better off just hanging with the #108 crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end it's nearly the same thing, just a little higher up and with way more availability. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/pricing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is weird to me that those tickets are cheaper than bleacher and OF reserved tickets. I will definitely try a game there, but I doubt we will get our 10 game plan there.

There's a bar counter for your food/drink and a cushioned chair, that's way better than sitting at an aluminum picnic table IMO. That would hurt my ass after 3+ hours.

That would hurt my ass after 3+ hours. Are all the seats in the entire section cushioned with a counter? I thought that was just the front part of the section? EDIT: Ok, I can see the counter now in the graphic. Hmmm.....interesting. Edited February 8 by ChiliIrishHammock24 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AB already took over beer around the park. They have a lot of craft options though (including many goose island ones). The craft cave is staying from what I read, it's just going to be called the goose island craft cave now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
