There's a bit of an edge at U.S. Cellular Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox, that is difficult to explain without the use of some cliche like "blue-collar." Nothing that I am able to think of adequately describes the feeling inside a White Sox game, so I'll just leave it there, with an edge.

This "edge" translates to the fans as an energetic baseball-focused experience. The food is some of the best in the Major Leagues, the concourses are wide, and the fans are true. There's everything you are looking for. And in many ways it is the antithesis of the northern neighbor at Wrigley Field.

It's an eminently walkable stadium, as long as you have 100 level tickets. This is my major criticism of the Cell. The experience from the 500 Level is so vastly different (read: worse), and segregated from the outstanding experience found in the lower section. It's more than just the view that is better on the lower concourse; it is also the food selection, ability to circumnavigate the entire stadium, and even the quality of the restrooms. This is definitely a stadium to spring for the pricier seats if you are able.

Many long-time White Sox fans continue to refer to the park as Comiskey, but when U.S. Cellular Field is referred to as "The Cell," it conjures up images of a dark and foreboding fortress. This image does not do the park justice. It is a wide open structure with great sight lines and large concourses that will be enjoyed by most fans of the great sport of baseball.

The best part of the new Comiskey (why I insist on calling it Comiskey, when its namesake, early 1900's owner Charles Comiskey. was a fantastic jerk is beyond me) is what so many criticize it for. It has great sightlines, a huge, walkable concourse with great field views, and is essentially a more recent Kaufmann field. I like that, as it's not pretending to be something it's not, just a good place to see a ball game.

Went to the cell this past weekend for the first time. The ball park is really easy to get to, just hop on the red line. They have good food and big beers... makes for a great night any day of the week. Also I was lucky enough to be there for the Friday night fireworks and watch Andruw Jones smoke a fastball to left for the walk off homerun

I really enjoying going here for games. Being able to hop on the Red Line and get delivered to the field is a huge plus. I've had some great food here (corn cup is a must) and haven't ever had a bad view regardless of where I've sat.

The Cell is a pretty bland stadium, and the upper-deck seats are not good for anyone with a fear of heights. That said, it's easy to get to on the red line and the tailgating is great. Not something you find at a lot of other baseball venues. I was there on opening day a few years back and t was a blast.

Saw my beloved Tigers play the Sox on 9/13 (night game) and 9/14/11 (day game). I went with my wife for the night game and highly recommend club seats for a "date night" (we were in section 316). Outfield bleachers were fine for the next day and I recommend these for a game with the buddies or family. If you are cheering on a visiting team get a seat around section 105 near the opposing bullpen. You can get right next to your favorite pitchers. The food is top-notch for stadium grub, better than what I have had at either Wrigley or Soldier Field.

I may be one of the only people in the world that actually enjoys this place more than Wrigley but I do. Wrigley has great history and and great fans but I think "The Cell" is the better park. I have only been to Wrigley once as well as "The Cell" once so I'll try not to be harsh and chalk it up to just being more impressed with "The Cell". Wrigley definitely has the better neighborhood though one of the best in all of sports.

When it opened, the ballpark was a mix of concrete and a squeaky clean, bright bowl of seats. Everyone used to love the Old Comiskey, but with age showing the landmark poorly, it was time for a change. After a few years of the first New Comiskey, interest began to wane. Then the club transformed it into a "classic" venue where much of the old style environment was put back in (such as the pull shower along the outfield concourse). It is a much more enjoyable venue wide concourse and a nod toward a classic ballpark. Great stuff.

When the ballpark first opened, it was a disaster. Who was the moron that thought of Dodger Blue seats? But since then there has been a number of renovations (including getting new seats) that have greatly enhanced the fan experience. I love sitting in the outfield bleachers the crowd is fun and unlike Wrigley bleachers the people actually watch the game.

My biggest knock against The Cell is that the nieghborhood is not the most pleasant. So it's go to the game and head on home. Wish there were options to hang out after the game.

A few years ago, I went to my first White Sox game with my dad. So we take the the Amtrak "Wolverine" train to Union Station, caught a cab and headed to the park. We got there late, but it was just in the bottom of the 1st inning when we arrived. because of the hot weather, we had to change our seats, originally from the outfield to right behind home plate, so my dad paid 100 dollars for home plate seats. The food we had was awesome, the game atmosphere was great, we listened to great organ music by organist Nancy Faust who was there(as in being hired)at the time. The PA Announcer Gene Honda had a great bass voice. It was sunny, plus we won. The fireworks(even in the day time)were great to listen to. So come down to Chicago to see a white sox game.

There is not a bad seat in the house thanks to the renovation. The access is fantastic as you have 3 different train lines all within 4 blocks and I94 and I55 are right there. Parking is plentiful. The neighborhood offers some bars and places to eat to the west of the stadium, within walking distance. The food at the park is up there among the best in MLB. The quality is good and there are a lot of options. The Sox also offer a wide variety of beer from the standards to imports and "beers of the world" stands are located around the park. My younger kids love it for the "fundamentals" section which offers all sorts of baseball activities for kids from running the bases vs. an animated backdrop to actually coaches working with your kid on their swing. The product on the field is usually pretty good and the Sox have a host of giveaways and promotions that make it a great park for any family.
