White Sox 21-22 July

So this is the new Cellular Field? The City needs to check to see if it not too late to get its money back. For a new stadium, it is really a shame that something better could not have been done. There is nothing that you can do about the 1-2 hour drive to the stadium for the suburbs. The neighborhood is what it is (South Chicago). But when parking is more expensive than the tickets, you sense something is wrong. If you can take the Red Line to the game, but like Yankee Stadium, do not loiter after the game. This is not friendly territory and a rapid egress is highly recommended.

Obstructed views are abundant in this stadium and it is difficult to find a concise display of the status of the game from many sections.
I had to walk several sections down to get a good shot of the game summary after game one.

In center field they have statues of several significant figures in the history of the White Sox organization. Of course, Charles Comiskey figured prominently in their history.

And there is Luis Aparicio who I can remember watching when I attended games as a kid.
And there was Carlton Fisk. However, the White Sox Hall of Fame (which was located in the back of the White Sox souvenir shop) has been closed with no firm plan for its relocation. You would think that after recently winning the World Series, the White Sox would be anxious to display the trophy if nothing else, but I guess that the Black Sox Scandal still looms large.
The White Sox won the second game. We grabbed our left over peanuts and got out of town. I wish the White Sox well as I do every other team, but from now on, anytime that I watch them live, they will be the visiting team.

As for stadium rankings, there remains a clear split between the great (first division) and the good or possibly not so good (second division).

First Division:
PNC Park Pittsburgh
Turner Field Atlanta

Second Division:
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Toronto
Philadelphia
New York Yankees
Cleveland
Washington
Chicago White Sox
Boston
