Why is the all star game at this dump?

 

 

 

The fans suck.

 

 

The stadium sucks.

 

 

 

They never should of torn down the original Comiskey, those that designed this place should be shot.

the stadium does NOT suck....

 

it is awesome

the stadium sucks when watching it on tv.

 

 

it might be better in person, but from an aestethic(sp) point of view, it sucks.

 

 

and the crowd is even more pathetic.

 

 

but still...this place opened in the early 90s. Why is the all star game here?

they made some renovations....

 

i dunno though

Yea next years is at Minute Maid Park....they should make a Derby here!

man, righty hitters are gonna have a fun time in the HR derby at Minute Maid park :o :mischief :laugh

US Cellular Field is in the middle of renovations that are going to include tearing down the upper deck and rebuilding a new one and partially tearing down the outfield bleachers to make them more fan friendly.

so lets hold the all star game while in teh middle of renovations instead of after.

 

 

makes sense to me.

Can't, they must play through them. The Renovations won't be done until 2004 or at the latest 2005.

The only thing left to fix is the upper deck. The sold the naming rights for $68 million in order to fix the upper deck. I believe they will demolish the upper deck and parts of the skyboxes in order to build the new upper deck. Since the lower deck has so many seats, they will continue play through the renovations.

The ballpark is not a dump, it was built before the current Retro era and is modern. The scoreboard is new along with many of the outfield bleachers and patio.
