Mr. Showtime Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 https://www.nwherald.com/2019/01/25/white-sox-goose-island-revamp-two-outfield-sections-at-guaranteed-rate-field/ah0cnxy/ Quote The White Sox and Goose Island Beer Co. are revamping two sections at Guaranteed Rate Field for the 2019 season, according a rendering and an email obtained by the Northwest Herald. Sections 106 and 107 in right field at the South Side ballpark are being rebuilt in cooperation with Goose Island, the official craft beer partner of the Sox. The Sox have not officially announced the changes yet but have informed season ticket holders in those sections. The area will feature three rows of premium, leather seating with armrests and cup holders. Those seats also will have access to waiters. One such row will be at field level. These seats also will include a small TV and charging ports for mobile devices. An additional row – aligned with the front row of section 105 next to it – will feature wide, padded seats and access to a waiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This section will be money, especially if the team goes on a run and the place starts filling up. Many of us have grown accustom to plenty of space and clear sight lines. It isn't quite as enjoyable of an experience at the park with a 300 pounder 108ing in your lap.

Oh well, still really cool seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah this seems like the end of the bullpen sports bar. Lame if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsCalledComiskey Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Im curious if they are willing to give some type of consideration (compensation) to those season ticket holders. Until 5 years ago we held four seats in section 106. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about 4 years now, my buddy and I have gotten a ticket plan with the $7 cheap seats, then we pay the $15 upgrade to sit on the upper level of the bullpen bar where we had our own table, and server. It was a great way to enjoy a game for $22. And now that's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliusO1274 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Imo they should renovate more for the new rebuild era. They should alter the outfield wall dimensions and change the overall aesthetic behind the outfield walls. We have one of the dullest looking parks in the majors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely better than when they first opened it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I am more worried by this than any tweet in the Machado thread. I had dreams of making the Craft Kave my home away from home during the coming resurgence. It's perfect. I pray they don't ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not great for die-hard fans, but honestly could see this doing pretty well for sox overall. Already had some friends (that are not sox fans) text interest in going (at this point I am the only sox fan that anyone knows apparently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Sucks that they are re-doing that kraft cave, but I am very intrigued by the new seating. It looks like it could be a fun place to be, or a shit-show in the making. Probably much better off just hanging with the #108 crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTC Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Does this mean Goose/AB is taking over all the beer around the park? I sure hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end it's nearly the same thing, just a little higher up and with way more availability. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is weird to me that those tickets are cheaper than bleacher and OF reserved tickets. I will definitely try a game there, but I doubt we will get our 10 game plan there.

There's a bar counter for your food/drink and a cushioned chair, that's way better than sitting at an aluminum picnic table IMO. That would hurt my ass after 3+ hours.

That would hurt my ass after 3+ hours. Are all the seats in the entire section cushioned with a counter? I thought that was just the front part of the section? EDIT: Ok, I can see the counter now in the graphic. Hmmm.....interesting. Edited February 8, 2019 by ChiliIrishHammock24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB already took over beer around the park. They have a lot of craft options though (including many goose island ones). The craft cave is staying from what I read, it's just going to be called the goose island craft cave now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
