September 15, 200322 yr I'm just curious what the view is from up there, I've never been up there before so I'm wondering if you can actually see things from up there or if its a bad view. So anyone who's been up there before, is it a good view?? THANKS!!!!

So anyone who's been up there before, is it a good view?? THANKS!!!! Contrary to popular belief, its not THAT bad.... you can see whats going on clearly unless you are blind and its pretty cool to see the whole stadium.
September 15, 200322 yr I was up there for the last Royals home series we had and i was in the second row from the top. I was surprised at how good of a view it was. I actually enjoyed it and found the view great. I could see the whole field very well. It is a little steep but not as extremely horrible as everyone says. Gotta check it out once I think. Hope this helps.
September 15, 200322 yr You can see everything fine, you're just a good distance away from everything, especially in the upper rows. There's nothing wrong with the UD if you're in the first 7-8 rows, imo. Higher up than that, and you might need a sherpa and a telescope.
September 15, 200322 yr you basically feel like your right on top of the field, if you don't mind going up some STEEP steps, you'll love it.
September 15, 200322 yr I've never been on the Upper Deck, but I always think it really can't be THAT bad. It's still live baseball.
September 15, 200322 yr It's not bad at all, and a great way to take in a different perspective once in a while. IT IS STEEP, though, so be prepared for a climb. Glad I'm not a vendor up there :-)
September 15, 200322 yr I PREFER the Upper Deck! It's where the "real" fans are! Oh.. here we go. :finger
September 15, 200322 yr I think the UD is great. When I went three weeks ago, I set upper twice and lower twice. I like the lower because you are closer.... but watching the game from the Upper Deck is great. You can easily see the whole field without turning your head like you have to do in the lower levels.
September 15, 200322 yr I prefer the lower level but I actually like it in the upper deck. When you start getting past about the 14th row it gets a little high but besides that I feel their pretty good seats. The one knock I have on sitting in the upper deck is that you can't check out the main concourse. This isn't a big deal during the game but prior to it I usually like to hang out there.
September 15, 200322 yr The first time you sat in the UD - did you have trouble judging where popups were going or how well balls were hit into the outfield? That was a little different for me, and I always sat in the UD in the real Comiskey Park.

That was a little different for me, and I always sat in the UD in the real Comiskey Park. I don't really remember the UD in old Comiskey. I'm only 18 so I was really young when I went to old Comiskey.

September 16, 200322 yr I PREFER the Upper Deck! It's where the "real" fans are! for an admitted republican (and isn't admitting that like admitting you are a drug addict?) you say some very wise things about baseball!

I was up there 2wice and each time I looked like a dumbass. I was screaming "Stay in here! Oh s***, NO!" on pop-ups and "Robbies got it!" on HR's. People were looking at me like "What the f***? Is he high?"
September 16, 200322 yr if you sit in cw's seats the view is pretty good..... at least you can see the ball coming over the plate from up there..... i myself dont like the heights thing so i dont wander up there often ......its all a mater of what you can handle or prefer.....
September 16, 200322 yr If I were Rob Gallas, I would shoot myself but before I did that I would schedule "White Sox Optomology Week" with a special "free depth perception test" night for 90% of our fans. Other than RPS yelling "get out" on an infield pop up, every game features Sox fans sitting in every area of the park going "oooooooooo" on fly balls to short center and medium short and second, and "oooooooooooo" on balls going foul by 30 rows. The reason I often take the el is I don't want to be on the road with so many depth-perception challenged people. Sox fans may know baseball as well as they say, but they often cannot tell the difference among a ball that is going 20 rows deep beyond the bullpen, one falling twenty feet short of the bullpen, and one going 20 rows foul. It astounds every game. Get your eyes checked, people! It is not where you sit, its not the upper deck - you have vision problems! Check it out; Sit in USCF with your eyes closed. Listen to the crowd go "oooooooooooo" and count to five, then open your eyes. The left fielder will be catching a ball well in near the shortstop. Do it when Frank is at bat: the higher the ball goes in the air, the obvious trajectory will be the center fielder catching it a hand shake away from the 2nd baseman but the crowd noise makes it sound like a possible concourse shot.
