Now that tickets are lower, what would you do to IMPROVE THE SOX EXPER
Lowering ticket prices and parking is a good start, but If they still have the tiered pricing system all season long it will mean little in overall attendance numbers.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 28, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) The problem is that he isn't an offensive coach and the guy who ran that offense at Toledo is now Toledo's head coach. There isn't a coach in the world that could make Illinois' offense good so I give him a pass on that end. But the defense went from being a top 20 unit last year to a disaster this year. Mercilus was a stud and losing him hurts but that unit returned 7 starters and Williams is a better player than Trulon Henry so losing Henry hasn't really hurt. There is simply no excuse for the defense to be as bad as its been. The key now is holding on to what is a decent first recruiting class and hoping Aaron Bailey is the real deal. If he isn't Beckman won't last long at Illinois. Bailey is like NS a running QB first................I do not see any better results with Beckman as HC.

Rick Hahn the new GM
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 26, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) You hope it turns out that KW is the "wizard" controlling rick hahn the "almighty wizard hologram"? No I am waiting to see how this turns out based on JR comments! The White Sox announced the promotions, naming Williams executive VP and naming Hahn senior VP and general manager. Williams will "maintain oversight and final approval on major baseball decisions,” White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said.

Rick Hahn the new GM
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) After that Kenny made it clear that HE has always had to go to Jerry for any major move. Also realize that this is standard operating procedure for any other sports franchise out there. No GM has complete autonomy. If it involves adding payroll, they are running it by someone else. The whole idea that being a GM means you get to do whatever you want is reality only on your XBOX. It ranks up there with unicorns and Cubs World Series titles in terms of reality. Nobody said KW never had to run everything by JR that is fine. Hahn will have to go through KW to even get anything to JR. I do not like this setup at all and this is a disservice to Hahn IMO. I feel Hahn has one arm tied behind his back already.

Rick Hahn the new GM
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 26, 2012 -> 12:40 PM) Just like every other team, EVERY GM reports to a President/Owner when it comes to moves. KW will have input, but it's more going to be looking out for the future of the team (financials, etc). Report to JR is fine............KW once Schuler left got to put his stamp on the team with KW around this is not going to happen for Hahn.

Rick Hahn the new GM
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 26, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) I don't see that as being very likely. Hahn would certainly have gotten a GM job somewhere else within the next year or two. I don't think giving him the title of GM without the power is going to keep him from pursuing those other jobs. It seems from what has been said publicly that KW is going to be taking over a lot of duties from JR, so he isn't going to have time to be puppetmaster on top of that. The biggest issue during the news confernce was whether Hahn, who served under Williams for 12 seasons, would have final say on all baseball matters, including trades. "It's Rick's decision until it's not," Williams said. "When it's not, we'll have to hammer it out." Not a big fan of this quote basically says KW will have MAJOR say on every move.

If he is KW puppet then this move is meaningless.
