joeynach Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 QUOTE(TLAK @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 06:58 AM) I think they are recaulking between the concrete slabs under the seats. The same concrete we walk on also serves as the roof over the club houses and all the under deck stuff in the park. It is exposed to the weather year round and you don't want any leaks screwing up the stuff below. Think about the scale of the operation, you don't use a little squeezy gun like Tom Silva doing a room addition, you pump it in from 55 gal drums, with the seats out they can get at everything. I guess you could say that one man's floor is another man's cieling. har Yeah I mean the facility is 15 years old. How long are stadiums generally designed for 30-40 years of operation. So we are somewhere near half of its life. Id rather them take time to inspect and make sure everything is fine than have a cub and wrigley esc scandal and problem on our hands.

It turns you into a baseball mecca! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Installation of green seats = Lots of $$$$ 40000 Sox fans occupying all available seats for all 81 games = Priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBatterz Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Now that we are getting the green seats, how long before we are able to start whining that they do not have the yellow and white railings for the box seats at Old Comiskey? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
