Visiting Rate Field for a Sox game is the perfect outing for friends and families. When we arrived,…read morewe received free Sox vests upon entry. Our seats were an amazing view of first base and there were a variety of crowd engagement activities. Some of the best stadium food can be found there too. Usually I get nachos, but I switched it up this time by going to Lucky's for the Gochujang Bubble Waffle. It was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet and well worth the price. Later on I grabbed a margarita that came in a cute souvenir cup. It was fun to drink and helped keep me cool. I look forward to attending more Sox games in the future!

After our photo-capturing mission was accomplished, we noticed the Chicago Sports Depot was open for business (1200 to 1700 hour daily). The entire store was extremely spacious, with two (2)-floor worth of merchandise for customers to browse. If you're a Yelp check-in avid, Yelp check-in has a 10% off offer on the entire purchase. I wouldn't mind getting some of the Chicago Bulls t-shirt and White Sox retro caps, if I've had an unlimited budget. Licensed merchandise is often expensive. On the other hand, sales associates were friendly and greeting us immediately upon entering. Speaking of the entry, I assumed that there would be no entry allowed from the W. 35th., St. during the non-game days. The sign guided us to the entry at the parking on the back. That store would be much more fun to hang around if White Sox were playing.

But to get the replacement, I have to spend more money to ship the original one back, and now lose out on the Cyber Monday pricing because I have to essentially buy a new jersey at today's price, rather than just being able to exchange size-for-size. This is all so customer-unfriendly in the age of Amazon and year 2024.

Few people know that on a quiet tree-lined stretch of the near south side of Chicago sits the…read more"brain trust", if you can call it that, of United States soccer. Inside these offices sit a man (or maybe a little ogre) named Sunil Gulati - a businessman with no soccer background. And, from his office - I like to picture it as a dungeon, though I'm sure it's a golden palace - he makes bad decision after bad decision on how to build soccer in the United States. Looking for a new coach? Why not hire another MLS/U.S. college retread instead of an internationally respected guy. Have one of the worst calls in the history of the World Cup made against you (when even the BBC says the United States shouldn't have had a goal waived off against Slovenia when their home team is fighting in the same group)? Filing a protest would take too much effort and paperwork. It's much easier just to sit back and hope to get a better referee next time. Pressure MLS to conform better to the international calendar. Why? Because it would help player development to have them available for games. Unnecessary! Get the United States team back into the Copa America? Why test it against the best national teams in South America? They might get intimidated, lose confidence. Yet, somehow, despite Enron/Goldman Sachs/BP level incompetence at the top, a rag-tag band of second-tier European players and MLS all-stars managed to get to the second round of the World Cup and won its group over England in the process. These players with unbreakable hearts came from behind twice and scored in the last couple of minutes of the final group game to do so. They stared elimination in the face twice and laughed! Laughed not out of hubris but out of hope. Maybe that flows from the top, but I doubt it. Anyhow, despite the U.S.S.F., I'm proud of my home country's soccer team. No need to look overseas for a team to support when the United States plays a no-diving (okay, not much, Jozy Altidore does go down a bit easy), offense-minded, soccer that matches the kind of soccer that people in the United States would like to see the whole world play. And the leadership hasn't been all bad. The U.S.S.F. is trying hard to bring the World Cup back to U.S. soil in 2018 or 2022. They finally opened a training center in 2003. And you can't argue with results like a second place in the Confederations Cup and consistent women's team success. Still, if we had a better governing body in the United States, soccer success on the men's side might have come to the United States a long time ago.

Such a fun experience! Going to a Chicago Sky game is definitely something I would recommend,…read moreespecially if you're looking for a family-friendly activity in Chicago. The atmosphere was energetic from beginning to end. There was always something happening, whether it was the game itself, music, entertainment during breaks, or activities that kept the crowd involved. It felt exciting without being overwhelming, and the kids had a great time. The overall experience was organized, the staff we encountered were friendly, and there were plenty of food and drink options available. Like most sporting venues, concessions can get expensive, but that's pretty much expected. I also think a Sky game is a great option for families. There's enough entertainment to keep younger kids interested even if they aren't huge basketball fans, while adults can still really enjoy the game. Overall, an easy 5/5 for us. Great energy, great family outing, and a really fun way to spend a day or evening in Chicago. We would absolutely go back!

However, there is one rule that makes absolutely no sense: no professional photography allowed. Really? For parents trying to support their kids--especially those hoping to build highlight reels for college opportunities--this policy is extremely limiting. Not everyone can capture quality footage on a phone, and documentation is a crucial part of youth sports today. It's hard to understand why a top-tier facility would enforce a rule like this. It may actually hurt the very athletes the center is meant to support. Even more frustrating is how difficult it is to get in touch with management to ask questions or explore possible exceptions. Overall, a great facility undermined by a confusing and restrictive policy. Hopefully, this is something they reconsider.

This family-owned…read morebusiness that opened in 1988 has rightfully earned a loyal following thanks to its outstanding customer service, knowledgeable staff, and incredible selection of merchandise. No matter what you're looking for, the team seems to know exactly where to find it and is always happy to help. The variety is truly impressive. From functional umbrellas and hats to T-shirts, towels, pillows, jackets, jerseys, collectibles, and so much more, there is something for every fan and every budget. Whether you cheer for the White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs, or other Chicago teams, you'll find an extensive selection of apparel and memorabilia. Located just steps from Rate Field, Grandstand is the perfect stop before or after a game. The store combines the personal service of a local family business with one of the largest selections of Chicago sports merchandise you'll find anywhere. They also do mail order shipping for thoughtful gift items throughout the year. Highly recommended for both visitors and lifelong Chicago sports fans.

Security / safety: 2.5/5 - I arrived to the venue a few hours before the show, and while there was…read moreplenty of personnel on site, it felt like they were doing a half-hazard job reviewing personal items and fairly implementing standards Food: 3/5 - We were in the club 200 level, and there seemed to be a reasonable amount of food available near our section. For the most part, you ordered on a kiosk and waited to hear your number -- or you lined up for the smaller carts and were helped personally. The beef cart had 2 workers and really short lines, but really inefficient staff. The pretzel/hot dog lines were much better in terms of efficiency but it was overwhelming hearing them yell out numbers at the same time. Views / Audio: 4.75/5 - I was NOT expecting our view to be as great as it was. 10/10 recommend. The only reason this isn't a 5/5 is because I didn't realize that fireworks were only going to be flown on one side. Traffic / Navigation: 3/5 - Identifying entry points was easy / there was clear signage. My biggest gripe was getting out of the stadium post-concert. This was less a staffing issue and more a general concert-goer issue. People would stall for no reason instead of just walking out of museum campus like normal people should.

Getting into the stadium was quick and easy and so was navigating it once you're in the stadium. Major downfall is the logistics of getting to the stadium itself. You really have two options walking or paying insane prices for parking. I ended up taking a short uber ride as close to 18th as we could get and walking from there which I def got my steps in for the day, so lil hidden benefit. (Our uber driver was very sweet and even asked security guards if he could just pass the barrier to drop us closer lol, immediate no) The food options were slim, things are overpriced, typical stadium stuff, I suppose. Leaving was probably the easiest part of the night, our section was close to an exit and we took the metra home, which has a stop right on 18th. Go Bears!!

I had only ever been to one drive-in before (the Cascade, now closed), and it's a fun experience, and unusual in the urban setting. You can order food to your car (it's brought over from the concession stand in the indoor soccer arena next door), but we went over to eat there because we also wanted to use the indoor bathrooms (otherwise it's a portapotty). You can either park your car facing forward and sit inside or park backward and tailgate (though outside food and drink are not allowed in). There are also several rows of chairs set up if you don't want to sit in your car. Before this particular show they had various vendors set up as well as a food truck (The Gilty Pig) off to one side of the lot). Tune your radio to 89.1 to get the audio (or just open your windows). Great nostalgic fun in Pilsen!

This gravel field is at the end of this industrial street with a large building in front of the screen that has lights on. The are low budget scones indicating where to park. First two rows are reserved and last had a private party. The color contrast is so dull and just sad. The movie started late due to technical difficulties and half into the movie, the audio stopped and after 10 minutes, they just skipped to another scene. Im absolutely speechless that they would charge over $40 for this very low quality movie expierance. I will most definitely not be going back.

Drink prices here are through the roof (which is to be expected but still kinda annoying). I paid $36 for 2 cans of modelos. Most sections had no security so there were many people who kept seat hoping. It was mainly an issue for people who had front row seats since people would sneak into your spot if you left to use the restroom, to the bar, etc.. they'd move out of your spot once you returned but it's still annoying to have to repetitively do that if you need to leave for a short period of time. Overall it's not a bad arena.
