The FirstMerit Bank Stadium Club is a fine dining restaurant located in the right field corner of the ballpark, accessible to members and their guests during game days, and available for rent on non-game days. “FirstMerit Bank already has established a track record of giving back to our community and fans, and we look forward to building on that relationship with an incredible view and luxury amenities in the FirstMerit Bank Stadium Club,” said Brooks Boyer, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing. “As an organization, we take great pride in our fans’ ballpark experience, and we look forward to having FirstMerit Bank be a significant part of that.” “This partnership is an opportunity to provide White Sox fans with a unique and first-class baseball-viewing experience,” said FirstMerit executive vice president, chief marketing officer Julie Tutkovics. Availability and pricing of tickets in the FirstMerit Bank Stadium Club are available by contacting a White Sox ticket representative at 312-674-1000.

It's probably not a lot of money, and the sox DO spend the money. Jose abreu ring any bells? The 7-11 deal was 500k a year to move the start time to 7:11. I suspect this deal is less per year.
