Is Pearl Jam Done Playing Wrigley??

Comiskey, I think is just ok. I like the bar they have under right field-stands , level with the playing field. Thought that was pretty cool. Other than that, meh. The pizza they serve in the concessions makes Little Ceasers seem appetizing. The area around the Stadium is pretty lame as well. No night life it seems. Just ride in for the game and ride out.
Wrigley is way better experience imo. Plus they have plastic helmets filled with nachos.

I thought new Comiskey was nothing but a concrete jungle filled with lollipops or pinwheels scattered around the outfield. Wrigley is pretty bad ass. 

Yep

I’ve been to 30 MLB parks...includes defunct parks, so I am missing a dozen or so current parks. I missed Tiger Stadium and original Comisky.

I have a clear top-4...
1. Fenway.
2. Wrigley 
I love these monuments to urban history.  I might prefer a modern park for a home park because of comfort and amenities but I just love these places for a visit.

3. Pittsburgh.  The skyline view is amazing and the atmosphere around the stadium was better than expected.

4. San Francisco.  Love the look at the bay.

Most of the other modern ballparks are nice but hard to distinguish in terms of ranking.

As for the current White Sox park, it was the last MLB ballpark opened before Camden.  It was functional but sterile.  A number of years ago, the reduced the giant upper deck and replaced the sterile blue seats with darker green.  This remodel was a nice improvement.

People usually call it “The Cell” or Comiskey.  I’m yet to hear anyone call it G Rate Field, but who the hell knows.  Only time I’ll go there is when they play the Cubs and even then I prefer not to. 

Yeah I still call it The Cell or Comiskey.  Can't see myself ever calling it "The Rate".  The park gets a ton of hate, but has gotten so much better the past few years with all of the improvements that they made.  Fantastic beer and food options as well.  And another great part is I don't have to drop a whole paycheck to take my family to a game...a buddy told me how much it cost him to take his family to a Cubs game recently and it was just absurd.

To keep thread integrity, it has never been a secret that The Ricketts are huge Trumpsters and highly involved with the RNC so I don't see that having any impact on them playing Wrigley again.

I remember calling it "New Comiskey" when the new one opened.  It was terrible timing as they went modern with the design and then Camden Yards and Jacobs Field came after it and Comiskey had no soul in it.  I think the improvements they have made to it were great though and a nice place to see a game.

Saw the Yankees beat the Red Sox in July 2003 at the old Yankees stadium with my dad and then we hopped the train to get back to Philly to see Pearl Jam that evening.  What an awesome day.

That’s cool 😎

Fuck those nachos! Took my nephew and he got that. But had them take off everything by the chips and cheese!?!?! WTF, kid??? Could have just bought a clean helmet and regular nachos for cheaper.

I got extra guacamole in mine. I felt like I really earned that helmet when I was finished.
I went to opening week in 2014. It was brutal cold and I didn’t dress properly, so I was forced to shell out like $100+ for a blanket and winter hat. I still where the hat in the winter and I’m not even a fan and get shit for it all the time. I don’t care though. I’m getting my motherfucking $50 out of that shit. Most times I just turn it inside out.
