Cali Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 CLICK HERE CLick on "Comiskey park" on the bottom Oh my God if they actually did that, it would look f***in awesome, Man that looks sooooo f***in cool, all would be redeemed if the park looked like that one day. But I don't know if it will happen, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 is that legit? because those white flaps on the outside part of the upper deck were put up a week or two ago. if those are legit, the park looks AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I agree. These computer generated pics look much better than the sketches the site originally had. I know that everything that was white has already been painted black like these pics indicate. However, the only way this is going to happen is if JR finds someone willing to pay for it. You know JR isn't going to pay one thin dime out of his own pocket to fix the mess that he helped create. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 that park looks great though, and if they were to do it, and fans still don't show up, that would be sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 if you guys look at that first pic you will see those white sheets right underneath the upperdeck canapy. those sheets were installed a week or two ago, so apparently the black canapy up top will be installed. that and the painted black steal in the outfield. I know they will be adding an entrance in left field. will it look like that? I don't know. the walkway down the first baseline and the added deck in right won't happen I'm assuming, but good ideas nontheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HR porch in right WILL NOT happen this year cause JR couldn't get anyone to pay for it. The left field entrance likewise WILL NOT happen this year for the same reason. If you go by the park and take a quick look, the ped ramp in LF has already been painted gray and black..... JR wouldn't waste the money on paint if that ramp was going to be torn down anytime soon. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I haven't taken notice to the left field ramp. gonna check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 thanks for the link and I love the updates but am I missing something - where are the ramps? It looks like only ramp for ingress and egress to the upper deck and that would not be enough - what do have now, 3 or 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 That looks so cool. I'm expecting a good update on this from you Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 if I wasn't such a lazy ass I would drive the two blocks and take a closer look lol I see the park everyday, but I never pay much attention to the development. all I know is that the upper deck canapy is gonna be lowered shortly and thye already set up the white panels, which look like tarp.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 i was wondering that too.. the 80 years old thing.. now maybe they were talking about old comiskey? i dont know but from what i have seen thus far...(just this past sunday as matter of fact) the only thing that they have done is paint .... theres no homerun porch or anything like that.... just the blackish paint covering all the outfield scoreboard beams and such.... also under the overhang of the ud and on a few ramps......nothing major like that pic shows... are we so sure that this is what is to come or just someones dreams of a thing which would have been had the state sports athurity not picked up the tab on rebuilding comsikey a few years ago.......cause honestly i havent seen anything there outside of the painting which shows me that this will be up and how things look before march 2003.............mho though.......

Cerbaho-WG Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 n0ice!!! I think if JR sells the naming rights to the stadium, he can pay for it. Remember last year when Comiskey was ALMOST Household Field. Then the Flub fans laughed at us for almost selling out, then they noticed that Wrigley is a corporate sponsor. BWHAHAHHA.

mac9001 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 If it is true, theres no way they could do all that by the start of 2003, so maybe its a long term project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I think their will be one final year of renovation and during that time period the stadium rights will be sold. It will be like Home Depot's Comiskey Park or some crap like that. I don't care if it gets the stadium looking real good so fans can stop whining about the stadium and just worry about the product on the field. Not talking about the posters here, were obviously all die hards :metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Wow, I love the picks, I really hope that comiskey will be like that one day:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Originally posted by Spiffwhy does it say it's 80 years old? It was poorly worded. They meant that Old Comiskey park had been the home of the Sox for about 80 years (81). They said it was renovated to satisfy the expectations of todays sports fans. By renovated they are not talking about the current renovations, but the rebuilding of Comiskey Park (New Comiskey)that began in 89. On a side note, has anyone else noticed that if you sit in center field about half way up and abovenext to the new, uhh, "thing" (with the ivy), the view is hugely obstructed? This is a major downside of the recent renovations. Even though it is a small percentage of seats, I would HATE to site there, I wouldnt be able to handle it, but thats just me.
