16.  Anytime there is boo'ing, a giant Steve Stone fathead pops out of the seat in front of you BLOCKING your view of the game because you are a bad fan.

This one is inspired.

Also: The Crosstown Clash. 

During the Cubs series, a section of the bleachers is given White Sox and Cubs themed sock'em boppers that track hits. Whichever fanbase lans the most hits gets a Manfred Runner starting in the 7th inning.

1.  Dig a moat in front of the Cuban Comet stand.  You have to board a raft and float across the moat to get your sandwich.

 

I would 100% still get that sandwich every game.

Think how much money they could make for charities if the had a JR, KW and RH dunk tank.  All sitting together. I'd pay a lot per toss, and show up at a 35 degree game vs the Tigers in April if I had a shot of getting them wet.

Free MLB.TV trial subscription while in the stadium, so you can at least watch one meaningful game while you're there.

"Speed Catch" machine where, instead of clocking your fastest pitch, you get to try to catch a 99-mph fastball.

Emphasis on pitchers' fielding practice in the FUNdamentals area.

Bartering-based concessions where fans can obtain food in exchange for "trading down" to less-expensive seating.

Taste-of-Chicago-style tickets for all concession items. As a cashless venue, force all fans to purchase paper tickets, which will be the only way to acquire any food, drinks, or merchandise. To reduce operating costs, keep no more than three ticket vending stations open at any time. To minimize localized crowding, periodically and randomly close each ticket vending station without warning to provide fans with the ability to explore all parts of the stadium prior to being able to buy something from a vendor while in their seats

Promotion: "Bat Night" (note: this used to be real. Not sure if it is now.)
Between-innings-entertainment: "Bat Flip Cam"

Every Friday is "Foodie Friday" where Portillo's Hamburger, Footlong Comiskey Dog, and all the others are in the dunk tank. 

If they get sunk, their respective food is free for the next 5 minutes in the park.

Play all Sunday games from the old Comiskey home plate. 

One-way traffic only on the concourse. No exceptions.

Guaranteed Wait ™️

In honor of the old Miami Marlin sign and akin to the Brewers slide, install Tony's face on one of the pinwheels and each time we hit a home run, launch him into the sky. 

Since they had the LaRussa Lounge after the DUI, I fully expect the Clevinger Day Care Center to be next

Could you imagine how many fans would try to dunk Hahn, but only if JR or KW would take the fall for him

Bring back $5 Pepsi Mondays and Tuesdays where u could get a $5 500 level ticket at the box office simply by holding up a crushed Pepsi product can. Maybe $6 instead to account for inflation. 

Free one liters of RC Cola for every 2 pieces of Beggars Pizza purchased in stadium

Chocolate wax statue recreations of the player statues on the outfield concourse. Have a contest to see which one melts first in the July heat.  

Chicago bucket boy jam sessions on top of the opposing team dugout after the end of each inning. 

The obvious solution is to buy a piece of Arlington Park from the Bears, build a new stadium that holds only about 22k to 25k so every night looks like a sell out. Since they don’t want to spend on their payroll, they won’t need all those seats anyway. Sox attendance averages well under 30k anyway. They’ll save on payroll. When they draw there usual 22k, the park will look full for TV All seat could be lower bowl seats

Lift the entire stadium up and rotate it so there's a view of downtown from behind home plate.

But Jerry's wind current study would go to waste, which is why it's positioned the way it is.  

Knock it down and build out in Arlington Heights

Damn, someone beat me to it.

Before every game Roger should drill randomly placed 25 foot deep holes of varying diameter in the outfield.

Line them with spikes and have Brooks market every series as a “Blackout Death Match.”

Honestly, the stadium is basically perfect.  About the only thing you could do to enhance the experience is rip out a few sections of the 500 level and install some high top tables.  At least for me, I like experiencing a Sox game looking at my friends rather than the field and there aren’t a lot of options to do that right now at the Rate.

Let Gene Honda do play by play over the PA system.

Also, assigned seating by first name.

I suppose I’m just rooting for chaos at this point.
