October 14, 200322 yr Thats sweet. Wonder whats next. Thanks Steff and thanks to whoever it was that took the picture.
October 14, 200322 yr You can see this from the Metra as well as the Ryan. UD last rows behind homeplate. Any idea what is happening?
October 14, 200322 yr I'd say they're preparing to blow up the stadium in the event the Cubs win the World Series...
October 15, 200322 yr Is that Comiskey? I would guess if you can see it from the Ryan. Do you think they might be trying some way of shutting up the people that b**** about the steepness of the upper deck? Not sure how they could do it, but I am not an engineer, though I work for engineers.
October 15, 200322 yr Author That pic was in the newspapers today. Right. he was nice enough to scan it as it was not avaliable online.
October 15, 200322 yr I hope they do something nice. It'd be pretty cool if they could let us in on their lil secret of what they're doing.
October 15, 200322 yr That's stupid, the UD is perfect as is. you know I agree with that - but it appears that our opinion is no longer relevant...
October 15, 200322 yr s***!!! MY SEATS!!!! just several sections down from mine! but the destruction is behind us... at least there is that.

Do you think they might be trying some way of shutting up the people that b**** about the steepness of the upper deck? Not sure how they could do it, but I am not an engineer, though I work for engineers. I have been told that is exactly what they are doing. They were looking to decrease the UD slope by as much as 10 degrees, according to my cousin who used to be the head of ballpark ops back in the mid-90s and still has friends in the organization. Last I had heard though, they didn't know if they were going to solve it by extending the first rows of the UD outward (the hard way) or pouring concrete to down in the lower rows to soften the grade. Now if only they would replace the seats with nice Old Comiskey green ones...
October 16, 200322 yr your being serious? You're f***in right I am, The UD is awesome and the slope is what makes it watchable, silly to f*** with it.
October 16, 200322 yr Author YA tell her Tell me what...? Thanks because if it was not scanned so I could post it here those who didn't see the paper wouldn't have seen it..? :dips***
October 16, 200322 yr Tell me what...? Thanks because if it was not scanned so I could post it here those who didn't see the paper wouldn't have seen it..? :dips*** They are taking them out like crazy. I would say the last ten rows, at least, are gone from the entire upperdeck. Not sure why we are kept in the dark. San Fran has renamed their park SBC park. They sure are spending enough dough on ballpark names, don't they own US Cellular

Yeah, but has anybody actually seen in print (hardcopy OR internet) saying just what exactly they are doing? Just odd that we start seeing pictures of seats being torn up and the White Sox page doesn't even acknowldge it, and there has been no mention of it on the news. I understand that JR wants to not take the spotlight away from the "other team" at this time, but he has to realize that there are some Sox fans out there who only truely care about news pertaining to his team, and not the other one, and that ANY news from our camp is enough to get us through the dark days, that have suddenly become oh so very bright.

That is what I am in the dark on. I can see the seats are gone. What was reported on this other than the seats are no longer there?

Yea. There have been several stories about removing rows, building a extended roof, a HR porch in RF, etc, etc.. Several of them have been commented, at length, here on this site. Check the archives.
