November 26, 200421 yr Neon Green seats would kick ass Like Old Comiskey Park . I'd rather JR sink some green into the team than onto the seats but I know better than to think that that might actually happen.
November 26, 200421 yr What would be nice is padding on the seats...I feel as though i'm sitting on a metal bench...and maybe some heaters would be nice on the main concourse. Heated seats? You're kidding, right?
November 26, 200421 yr No. Heating on the concourse. Why? It's summer. You want to be nice and cozy, buy seats in the Club Level... (Except, obviously, for the April games and, hopefully next year, October baseball.)
November 29, 200421 yr I don't really care what color the seats are. If people were using the color of the seats as an excuse for not coming to more games, guess what?...those people STILL will not be coming to more games. It's interesting though that some people used to complain that the Cell was drab and had no life to it. Some of those same people want to remove the bright blue seats (the most vibrant, colorful thing about the park) and replace them with dark green ones. Whats the cost for this anyway?
November 29, 200421 yr Just saw this on the official site. Looks like a new image. If those seats are going to be green, I sure hope they all will, cause I'm not sure about the blue/green scheme. my buddy works for the sox, and it was confirmed by my season tickets rep, they are changing all of the seats in the park to green..its going to look much better
November 29, 200421 yr my buddy works for the sox, and it was confirmed by my season tickets rep, they are changing all of the seats in the park to green..its going to look much better I'm assuming this isn't going to be done this season, or will it be two seasons from now??? I hope they go with the green color they use in Anaheim. I do think it would look funny to have a certain section green for one season, but monetarily it makes sense to do it. It be badass if they are doing the whole thing this year though.

Jason.. apparently they are shooting for all this offseason.. but the odds aren't good. Hopefully the LD will be complete. No one knows a solid answer at this point other than they are being changed.
November 29, 200421 yr Is there any comfort difference between green and blue? OF COURSE! EVERYONE knows that GREEN is more comfortable than BLUE!!!!! Remember the seats in Old Comiskey Park? They were f***in' PLUSH!!!! SURE, they were made of wood and splintering and the paint was peeling off of them, but the peeling paint was GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!! ....I'll never understand the obsession with green seats.... BTW, wasn't that a COMFY post? It was GREEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!

That way when were in the seats and we go Lets Win the Series, we don't have to go "Green: Lets win the Series; End Green"
November 29, 200421 yr Is the idea behind chancing the seats to be more comfortable? No. It just looks so much better. I hate the current seats.
November 29, 200421 yr Is the idea behind chancing the seats to be more comfortable? No. It just looks so much better. I hate the current seats. 10 years from now we'll be complaining about the green seats.. Just make the entire stadium black, once and for all.
November 29, 200421 yr Is the idea behind chancing the seats to be more comfortable? No. It just looks so much better. I hate the current seats. I couldn't care less what color the seats are. They could be orange, purple, taupe, mauve, chartreuse or pink. About 17 out of 10,000 mini-micros***s on the "Give-A-s*** Scale". I only notice the seats when I'm looking for mine. It's just not worth the amount of thought and debate devoted to this non-issue. IMO, of course...

November 29, 200421 yr its not worth the money to top it all off. and that too. Forgot about the expense factor - I'm SURE the Sox brass haven't. Of course, it's all US Cellular's money, so Jerry's Kids don't mind signing off on it as much...
November 30, 200421 yr Once again,you do realize how hot those would be in the summer???????? Believe it or not, the technology necessary to produce a black paint that does not get increasingly hotter does exist. In fact, I think it was being pondered by the front office at some point in time.
November 30, 200421 yr The money that would go to the seats have nothing to do with player money. It can be used for rennovations only, might as well use it for that.
November 30, 200421 yr The money that would go to the seats have nothing to do with player money. It can be used for rennovations only, might as well use it for that. Doesn't matter. It's a non-issue to me. But whatever - if they change them or not, it's all the same to me. I'm happy that they got rid of that horrific roof - now THAT was a f***in' eyesore.
November 30, 200421 yr Believe it or not, the technology necessary to produce a black paint that does not get increasingly hotter does exist. In fact, I think it was being pondered by the front office at some point in time. doesnt matter, this is all part of the rennovation plan that was laid out when US cellular was brought in to buy the stadium rights. The outfield wall was changed to green, the upper level looks awesome now. The left field project is going to make a nice impression, and the blue seats are going to be gone. This is all made to reverse the terrible mess which was the flying saucer that was the new comiskey. The trend nowadays is to make the parks all look old school, and this is one of the steps

November 30, 200421 yr Is there any comfort difference between green and blue? No, but empty green seats won't stand out as much on TV since the color is not as loud. The empty blue seats really jumped out at you since the color was such a contrast from the rest of the park. That's the REAL reason for the change.
