Concessions are run by Levy, not the White Sox, and I went when it was empty this year and it was a good experience.

It's actually Delaware North, but Levy has the club level & suites. Regardless, they staff based on what their client, in this case the Sox, are willing to pay on a given night.

He’s doing it wrong. The proper strategy is to cut-rate your ticket prices and collect that bounty on parking, beer, and concessions!

No, you cut concessions and then people spend more on merch. They're doing it right.

Green space is an interesting suggestion...I LOVE Petco Park for a ton of reasons. One of them is the "look" of a park beyond CF. That said...if you are looking for an urban feel (not saying you are) I wonder how much green space can be created and still max out on what the developers will be looking for (profits).

I enjoy thinking about a future ballpark and I enjoy looking at past ballparks and what makes them unique. Good topic of conversation!

Urban greenspace could be achieved by having a convertible stadium-adjacent ballyard that is slightly larger than the Fundamentals deck.

On game days it gets gated off for paid admission only.

On non-game days, it is an open greenspace that can complement neighboring / adjacent cafes and restaurants.

It would be interesting to see how they could integrate some green space in to the development on either side of the river and tie that in to the riverwalk. I'd love to see actual renderings of what they envision for the ballpark and the entire development, but I expect those are a long way off.
