U.S. Cellular Field

Its so much easier to park here than many of the other Chicago sports stadiums. Its organized, convenient, and clean.
The stadium is nice, clean, and doesn’t really have a lot of bad seats.
Its right off the highway which is a plus, but its in the south side which is a big minus.
Be sure to go for Bark in the Park

I’m really torn on US Cellular. My wife and I went to Chicago to go to Wrigley, but of course, we had to get in a came at US Cellular while we were there. Hmmmm… The field… It’s fine. It’s in the Chase/​Bank One/​Dbacks Stadium class of stadiums that, while perfectly acceptable to watch a game at, have no character.
It’s not a BAD place to watch a game like Dodgers Stadium. It’s just not a particularly strong place and it’s in the same city as one of baseball’s reverred monuments.
The other thing is, it’s in a bad area. I mean bad. I was staying in South Loop, which is an up and coming area (so I’ve been told), so I thought I would walk to the park. Bad idea. 100 ft in someone yelled racial slurs at me. I have never felt so strongly that I was going to get mugged and I’ve been mugged. It’s unfortunate that they put the park where they did.
Once inside, it’s fine. There was a ticket checker, whose name I won’t mention because I don’t want him getting fired, who let me wife and I sit in the seats behind home plate on the 1^st base side even though we had nosebleeds. I will forever be grateful for this. I hope he reads this one day. Thank you, sir. You made it a great experience.
The food was good. Lots of good chicago style brats and what not. Beer was a good variety. Like I said, fine place to watch a game. It’s just not Wrigley.

Buy a score card and bring a pencil, US Cellular Field is a good place to see a ballgame.
I’d like to start out by noting when I walked up to the box office there were photos lined up along the wall leading away noting the day’s starting lineup. I’ve never seen that before and I thought that was a nice touch.
Now the venue… I had my reservations walking in, mainly because when you enter through the gates you’re not really in the stadium, you’re just outside the stadium, but inside the gates. Anyway, after walking around for a bit, my visiting self realized that you needed to walk up the ramps to get to where you were going. Once that was out of the way, everything was gravy. (Note: they do check your tickets so if you have upper level tickets they won’t let you in the lower level part of the stadium.)
The stadium itself is enclosed, but you are able to walk 360 degrees around the whole stadium if you wish. Truthfully, at least from the lower level where I was, there really isn’t a bad view in the house. The stands offer a gentle slope and easy view of the field.
While walking around before the game, I noticed the outfield offered a couple of nice photo opportunities. The first is the statue collections of White Sox hall of famers. The Sox have a proud history and they’re not bashful about letting you know about their glory days. The second is a spot in straight centerfield behind some of the statues that provides a beautiful view of the whole field. I’m not sure if they allow you back there during the game because of the hitter’s background, but it’s a good place to before the game while people are still filing in and the grounds crew is putting their finishing touches on the field. Last, but not least is an old shower from the old Comiskey Park. I didn’t take the chance to test it out, but it looks like it still works and might be a nice place to cool off during those Chicago hot summer days (and evenings.)
Next… the food, and oh my, there’s food. There are your normal ball park options like hot dogs, burgers and even a Chicago Italian beef sandwich, but there are also dishes like the ultra delicious nachos served in a helmet (it’s a healthy sized meal, please take my word for it,) sushi and pot stickers, ice cream and vegetarian dishes, if that’s your bag. There honestly is something for everybody and even though it’s priced like ball park food the prices won’t gouge your wallet. If you’re into delicious beer, there’s a sports bar in right field that allows you to choose from your favorite craft beers.
If you’re visiting Chicago like I was, transportation to the stadium is nice and easy. Just take the Red Line south the Comiskey stop. You’ll see the stadium when you leave the station because it’s only two or three blocks away. If you decide you want to drive it looks like there is plenty of space in some lots next to the stadium.

As a Northside Chicago baseball season ticket holder, you wouldnt think I would not be caught dead at the southside ballpark. But as a big baseball fan I like to go here once in awhile to treat myself
to a great ballpark like «Sox Park». Easy parking, not a bad seat in the house, great food. horrible team though, so you can get a great deal on great seats. Game over and home in an hour. Treat yourself …

My bucket list consists of one major goal: attending a game at all of the MLB stadiums. So, I’ve been to quite a few at this point and I have a lot to compare to.
For starters, this place seems relatively small to me. Maybe I’m just too used to Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati (which is fairly new), but it seemed tinier. But size doesn’t matter… right?
Anyway, it was a very chilly (and slightly rainy) night when we were here to see the Tigers play the White Sox. Thankfully there was coffee and hot chocolate being sold around the park– something I’m not sure we have in Cincinnati’s park since it rarely gets cold enough during the season for that to matter.
The fans and workers were all wonderful. We got to the game early to buy tickets and ended up having someone give us a couple for free– always a wonderful unexpected treat! it was also a giveaway night so as we walked into the park we were greeted by plenty of friendly faces handing out a Chris Sale figurine.
One thing about the inside that I noticed very quickly– a LOT of small retail shops all around the park. I mean we probably walked into five different places with hats, shirts, etc. once we were inside.
A lot of different food options, as well. Of course there’s Chicago style hot dogs and pizza, some of your more typical baseball foods like nachos, hot dogs, burgers, etc., and some more unique items as well. The parm fries are the big item here and they were DELICIOUS. I also had a churro because I can’t ever pass one up– it was excellent as well.
Best part about the seating here is that their sections aren’t extremely wide. I’m used to seeing them at least ten seats long, maybe more. Here they were only about 7 – 8 seats long where we were sitting. It makes it a lot easier when you’re sitting in the middle of the section and have to climb over everyone to get out.
Like others have mentioned, there’s a nice bar area down the first base line. A lot of TVs showing the game while it’s going on as well as other sporting events– college football was on while we were there. Plenty of beer and food in this area, as well.
Overall a good experience, especially considering the unfortunate weather. Not at the top of my list of favorite stadiums however I wouldn’t say no to going back.

Born in Canaryville & Raised in Bridgeport It’s Only Fitting To Be a True Blood SOXside Fan.
Old Comiskey Has Givin Me Many Memories And Wanted Management To Rehab Instead Of Rebuild But The Future Must Be Taken Into Account.
This Park Is Beautiful And Will No Doubt Continue to Add To My Life As The Years Go By. I Have Never Had A Overall Bad Experience Here And Have Maintained A Winning Streak With The Loss Of Only One (Cubs) My Entire Time Attending. Irish Luck :)
I’m Actually A Second Or Third Cousin To Nancy Faust The Famed Organ Player, And As A Youth & Adult Would Begin My Games With A Hello And Hug From The Icon Herself. This Team/​Organization/​Stadium Has Been Founded On Loyalty, Dedication, Hardwork, Love & Family And Does Not Disappoint To This Day.
My Only Complaint Is 7^th Inning Cut Off Of Liquor Sales In General Seating And Over Priced General Beer Prices As Well as Merchandise.

Came and watched the Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox on Saturday October 3^rd.
Nice baseball stadium with a good view of the Chicago skyline.
Both teams were already out of the playoff race, so no drama on the field.
Was in town for the Raiders vs Bears game. So we decided to check out a ball game at US Cellular.
Myself and few other friends tried to find another bar besides the corporate bar and grill across the street.
I gave up but my buddies walked to one about a mile down the road. They liked it, so there is other options.
From what I understand this was the first cold evening of the year, and once that wind kicked up, it was FREEZING!!!
Nice stadium though.

During a recent visit to Chicago my best friend was awesome and surprised me with tickets to the White Sox V. Cubs matchup in August. The game was held at U.S. Cellular Field. This was my very first visit to this ball park, but I hope it won’t be my last. The ball park is really nice, and huge! There were so many people there to see the White Sox play the Cubs, and even though it was a sellout it never felt over crowded. There is plenty of room everywhere in the ball park, the lines never too long, and the stadium seats are very comfortable.
After the game there was a fireworks show that was really neat. I have no idea if they always have the fireworks show after games or if they just did it because the two Chicago teams were playing each other, but it made for a great ending of the night after a great game!

The South Siders don’t get the same love as the Cubbies, but that’s ok. Don’t expect Wrigleyville, but there are a number of decent options for the Sox fan.
There’s a bar off Gate 5 with plenty of TVs, food, and drink for pre-​game festivities. If you want a pre-​game dog, hit up 35^th Street Red Hots a short walk just past the viaduct. Awesome deal for a hot dog with fries.
The White Sox lobby hard for your attendance with plenty of giveaways and themed games. Star Wars night, Halfway to St. Patricks, free T-​Shirt Mondays, and such go a long way to mix things up and attract a decent crowd.
In terms of seating, there really isn’t a bad seat in the house. You can buy tickets as cheap as $ 20 in the 500 level and still have a decent view, but I suggest checking out the Bleachers if you want to try and grab a home run ball.
Food options are varied and tasty. Bacon on a stick, Irish nachos, and a Tex-​Mex helmet are some of my favorites and the latter can definitely be shared with a few people!
Show some love for these oft neglected White Sox and go a game or two.

Surprisingly great facility for watching a game — a truly solid venue.
+ Easy access to/​from major highways, the El, and MTA
+ Tickets are *cheap* — they start at $ 7
+ Tickets are plentiful
+ Clean facility
+ Comfy seats
+ Great views
= Scoreboards/​monitors aren’t state-​of-​the-​art, but they’re decent
+ Fireworks
+ Food options are plentiful; portions huge; prices fair (for a ballpark)
+ Good beer selection and good prices (again, for a ballpark)
+ Easy/​fun to walk the stadium — lots to look at
+ Staff are helpful
If you find yourself in Chicago, you definitely can’t go wrong catching a game here. Our game got rain-​delayed by a few hours, and unfortunately our bus had to leave before the end of the game; I would’ve loved to have seen the fireworks.

I have been making my journey through major league baseball parks and finally made it to this one. I was immediately disappointed that youre only allowed to be on the level you have a ticket for. I have been to 12 parks and none of them have this segregation rule. I like to walk around and enjoy the views and take photos.
As you can imagine upper decks are overcrowded and body odor a plenty. Park is also pretty bland in color. Also found it surprising that standing room only tickets are $ 75.
Park does have some nice views from the ramps and was decently clean. Other than that not very memorable.

I’m a huge baseball fan it’s my goal to visit all the baseball parks. Been to around 15 now and I hate to say it but U.S. Cellular Field is the worst park I’ve been too. Even worst than Athletic’s
Coliseum.
Ticket prices I feel are pretty pricy. It was $ 75 for standing only. No seat.
The stadium just feels old and bland. No color. I hate that even with a ticket, you can’t explore the stadium. It’s completely segregated. The staff was not very friendly and the food like most baseball stadiums is expensive. I did try the ice cream. Basic soft served, but did feel nice to eat on a warm summer day.
I did like the team store, it was 2 stories and had a lot of merchandise. And it wasn’t only White Sox stuff, all chicago apparel and merchandise. The staff is the team store were helpful and friendly.
Not the most exciting stadium, nothing terribly memorable. Kinda a big bummer.

I love the White Sox!
The stadium is also so much nicer and cleaner than Wrigley.
They also serve the best foods… grilled Polish and hot dogs are the best here.
They even serve Wow Baos in the level 100 stands.
They have a huge selection of food choices like nachos, pizzas, Mexican style corn, churros, ice cream. You won’t leave hungry!
They also have a large selection of craft beers and specialty drinks.
What’s not to enjoy?

The home of the Chicago White Sox baseball ballpark. This a clean, friendly enjoyable ball park… all of the views of the stadium are nice. The seats are good, there doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the park.
Our seats were high up in the 500 section and we able to see everything well. The only issue was that the customers who purchased 500 section seating are not allowed in the other part of the stadium, which is not a cool option, if you are visiting and don’t know this when purchasing tickets, it’s a little bummer to not be able to view the other parts of the ballpark.
All of the concession stands had everything the rest of the ballpark had available in the sections 500.
There was some entertainment for kids only in upper section and a how hard can you throw for adults but with rubber baseballs. And a water cooling area.
In all a good park.

Had a blast here on August 5, temp was about 80 and a nice breeze. The food at the stadium was great. We got the Cuban sandwich and a Nacho helmet (amazing). The Cuban sandwich was probably one of the best Cubans I’ve tried simple and tasty. The Nachos are enough for three people and at $ 17 not a bad deal for what you get. The area behind the outfield bleachers was almost like a large outdoor bar scene, really casual and laid back a lot of nice people too. If you’re a lifelong Sox fan you need to check out the statues in the outfield area brings back some good memories.

The White Sox ball park is a really well maintained ball park. the facilities are always clean, they have tons of bathrooms, and a lot of food options. For ballpark food, the food is of better quality and there are more options. Their dogs are some of the best, the nacho helmet is huge and loaded with ingredients. Even the pierogi are of quality and I would know being polish. All the seats seem to have a pretty good view of the field too.

Man, do I have a love/​hate relationship with this place… and this team.
Every weekend the Sox are in town, I’m at both Saturday & Sunday games, and as a valued season ticket holder since ’04, I’ve seen all the highs and lows of team performance and stadium offerings.
First things first: the 2015 White Sox are a motherfuckin’ embarrassment. I never, ever, swear in my reviews (try to keep it clean and family-​friendly), but seriously. They sunk SO much money into this ballclub during the offseason, it absolutely baffles me why they’re in dead last in the American League Central Division, and are besides that one of the worst teams in the majors. wtf mates?
Now onto the important stuff:
In the past two weeks I’ve had the good fortune/​misfortune to be in both the Magellan Scout Seats where you get absolutely pampered, and in the plebeian sections where things are… not so great. Point in case, I ordered fried pickles ($ 6) from one vendor in the 500 level and what I received was practically inedible. The pickles had to have been sitting out for close to a week before they were deep fried, since they were all dry and wrinkly. I threw them out almost immediately, which was like a dagger to my cheapskate Bohemian heart. But then, somehow, it managed to get worse.
I hoped to wash down my wrinkly-​ass old man pickle chips with a refreshing Miller Lite (gag me with a spoon), but alas, even that got botched up. After paying my $ 8.50, I took a sip and noticed something tasted way off. Light beer has a tendency to taste like disgusting pisswater from the get-​go, but upon further consideration it was determined that the vendors hadn’t properly flushed the beer lines following a sanitization procedure. So my light beer wound up tasting like sanitizer. I thought «eh, maybe I’m just going crazy». Fast forward two weeks when my dad and I get beers from the same place. Same story unfolds, he nearly spits his out and goes back to inform the shift supervisor that this is simply unacceptable. Will they fix the problem? Probably not. Time will tell.
On the flipside of things, the Magellan Scout Seats are phenomenal, although they come at a cost. Upwards of $ 150/​seat, they’re located directly behind home plate with all food and drink included. The pregame buffet is luxurious, as I enjoyed smoked salmon with a margarita amidst a plethora of macaroni salads and roasted meats. Complimentary hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, as well as beer & wine are passed around during the game, and a dessert smörgåsbord becomes available around the 7^th inning. There’s also an ice cream freezer for guests to use at their leisure. Service is uncompromised (for the pricetag, it sure as hell better be) and you could certainly get your moneys worth if you’re a big eater and heavy drinker like yours truly.
TL;DR–
I’ve witnessed all the good and bad this place has to offer. In fact, I challenge ANY Unilocaler to be in a better position than I to review this professional sporting venue. Yeah, that’s me, throwing down the gauntlet.
Sox park can be either rapture or revolt, but most of the time it falls somewhere in the middle. The way things have gone recently, I’m questioning continuing being a season ticket holder…
P.S: fix the beer lines, guys.

I was actually surprised how clean and well-​kept this ballpark is. There is plenty of room to walk around and tons of beer/​food vendors. They even have several gluten free beer and food options which is a nice touch.
My wife and I originally had seats in the outfield bleachers but it was an afternoon game and was very hot. We decided to walk around and discovered the «Extra Base» bar in the left field area. The bar is more like an extremely open, air conditioned room with cornhole, leather seating, flat screens, and a small bar area in the center. The bartender actually gave me a few gluten free beers for free since they had been left over from an event a few days earlier and they didn’t have a price tag.
The patio of the extra base bar is shaded and will house around 50 people. It provides a great view overlooking left field and I don’t see why anybody would rather sit in the sunny bleachers when they can sit at a shaded table with a bar right next to you the whole game.
White Sox fans were very warm and talkative. They were playing the Rangers, I was decked out in Rangers gear and I was surprised more fans didn’t talk trash to me. I had an extremely pleasant visit and hope to come back some day!

Meh. You can do better.
I have been to about 20 parks and for a new ball park, this was uninspired and I was not happy. Maybe it was the person next to me, WHO WOULD NOT STOP TALKING WHILE I WAS TRYING TO KEEP SCORE AND WAVE TO MIGGY. I digress… This is why I did not like the park.
1) I felt that the concourse was too enclosed. It was like walking through a prison, there was almost no light, natural or otherwise. It was claustrophobic and that was not for me.
2) Parking lot had a confusing and difficult exit; also no card payments on site. I do not like carrying any cash on me and since I normally take public transport, I had to go to a sketch bodega for cash. That was an adventure, for sure.
3) The Fans on the dugout were very disrespectful. Why were they putting their feet on the dugout? Why were they putting their food on top while they were eating? Where were the ushers to scold and/​or toss them? Just so I am clear, this is not about how much you spend on a seat, it is about respecting your stadium and team… I think it is rude to eat on a dugout and in the 20 other stadiums I have been to, this would result in a warning, then ejection.
4) Very limited healthy food options. I think I saw one gluten free stand (I dont even eat gluten free, I just didnt want to eat garbage). Which is odd, considering the seats are a tight squeeze… So if you enjoy the beer and food served at the stadium, hang on to yer butt, it’s gonna bruise. (You’re so seeing more gym reviews from me)
The sight line was great from the visitors dugout. And then from the bleachers when I ran away from Mr. «I am going to tell you my entire life story even though you clearly have no interest». The rest of the experience did not enlighten me.
(And if I want a bruised butt, I will go to the original butt bruiser, WRIGLEY or FENWAY)
I will return, however, to root for the only reason to live: ALEXANDER EMMANUEL RODRIGUEZ. Go Yankees!

Sickens me to think the hate people have in their heart.
7 of us went to a whitesox game yesterday, we did the patio party.
When we found our seats we had three men behind us talk about us under their breath about us. Because they can’t handle the idea of a few lesbians and a gay man. As soon as we at down we heard huffing and puffing, one of the guys went so far as calling one of an idiot when we stood up to adjust his pants.
They continued muttering things for about 45 minutes and I couldn’t take it anymore.
I couldn’t deal I got up and spoke to someone in a red jacket who seemed annoyed with my request when I demanded to speak to a manager. The guy in the red jacket just walked away from me I had no idea what he was doing when he came back and said I went and grabbed someone, now when the manager came I explained to him what was going on and he said he would go talk to the guys.
Um not white we’re sitting there.
I told him I wanted to be moved, we were at the 100 level row 20, there were plenty of seats available.
After about 15 minutes or so he said he was able to move us we ended up not even being able to sit together.
I go to about 5 – 6 games a year, always purchase the patio passes. I’ve never felt so annoyed.
This completely ruined our experience.
Not mention our friends who are visiting from out of town, I really hope you guys set up a better protocol.
I don’t think the chicagowhitesox handled it the best, but hopefully after this incident they will set up some time off protocol.
