This is a family run business that treats you like GOLD. Walking around in the store is amazing with the selection of both things you want and clothing you'll wear. I purposely will not buy Sox, Bears, Bulls or Hawks gear on Amazon as I only will purchase these items at Grandstand. The service and care is unparalleled as well as the selection. I shop here now for all occasions when I need a gift, even for cubs fans. If you're thinking about a custom jersey or just want a lamp with a Sox logo shop here!!!! Sox 2020 WS!!! read more

Best store to get All your White Sox Present and Throwback gear! Hands Down!!! The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, there's not much of anything White Sox related they don't have! I've bought many things from them in the past and will continue in the Future! read more

I needed to get something White Sox for one person on my list and some type of Bears gifts for some other people on the list. I called Grandstand and they were open Sundays in December for Christmas so I cruised over last weekend. The selection of White Sox paraphernalia is extensive. There were a lot of things I wanted for myself, but I practiced some restrain. However, I found perfect gifts for the sports enthusiasts some of which were on clearance. BEWARE the clearance merchandise is not returnable, exchangeable or anyhitng so if the recipients don't like the gifts be prepared to keep it yourself or re gift. The price range is from high to low so it can fit all budgets. Also I got a free tee shirt for the amount I spent and it was an offical MLB tee shirt with Crede's name and number on it, which is going to be a birthday gift for an uncle in 2010- what a deal! read more

White Sox heaven! There is literally so much Sox merchandise that you can't comprehend it. I was blown away when I walked in. License plate holders, flags and beer mugs, oh my! Yeah some things run higher but I like giving my cash to the ma and pa places rather than the cheesy sporting good stores. They have probably every Sox t-shirt and cap imaginable to mankind. Plus the collection of unique items are unbeatable. I lucked out and found a clearance priced fitted Sox cap for $15! Pretty awesome considering it was the same exact one I had my eye on at another store for double the price. I love this place and it's a nice change of pace to see decent Sox merch and not be bombarded with tons of Cubbies crap. I will definitely will be back! read more

This place stays open really late after Sox games, so head over after the game! I don't like how you have to check your bags/purses at the door. Sorry I am not leaving my entire purse with some guy who just puts them on the floor by the front door. If you don't trust me not to take it in the store, why should I trust you? Lame. If you do make it past the big bad "security" guy - this place has TONS of sporting merchandise. However, WTF are Cubs items doing here?? My husband bought a Sox Jersey for $100. Pretty sweet. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful. read more

This is the absolute best place on earth for White Sox gear. I am a die-hard White Sox baseball fan, but live on the North Side. Going to Grandstand, and being surrounded by huge amounts of Sox gear of all types, is a real event. In fact, my friend and I call our trips to Grandstand going to Mecca. (Grandstand also carries Chicago Bear and Chicago Blackhawks gear, and a small amount of Chicago Cub apparel.) Grandstand is located just a few blocks west of U.S. Cellular Field/Comiskey. If you go after a game, be prepared to stand in line for a short time before you get in. Yes, it's that popular. A better time to go is a non-game Saturday. (They have a small parking lot behind the store.) LOVE IT! read more

I went there a couple of time to make sure I wasn't wrong, but everytime I have went in there the staff were very rude. It is like they don't want to help or take my money. The first time I went I, I chalked it up to it being a little busy. The second time, it was empty and still the same rude, pompous attitudes. I guess they know that they will make money no matter what and could give two cares if they serve people. Won't be coming back in. read more

As a Sox fan I might be biased but this place is great. A+ on customer services. And it has everything that a sports fan would want, it can be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It stays open late after Sox games so stop over sometime. read more

This will be the last time I shop here. I have never written a review but this was worth the review. I'm not from Chicago so every time I try my best to go to all the sports stores when I'm in town. This store followed me and family as soon as we walked through the doors whether it was asking for a price, size, and just tying to shop. They had someone following us every where and it was really ridiculous. Never shopping here anymore. read more

I'd give this place five stars if they had more Chicago Sports team Merch to offer. Specifically Chicago Bears stuff. But as far as Chicago White Sox everything you can't go wrong. If you know anyone that is a Sox fan GO TO GRANDSTAND! Some may say that their prices are a little high but I've found them pretty much spot on with MLB.COM shop. The great thing about Grandstand is they have White Sox Merch (Hats hoodies jackets jerseys etc.) That you can't find anywhere else. Not even on the White Sox web site or at the actual ball park. Parking is always available across the street in their lot and every time I've gone in there people have been friendly and helpful. every time I go in. Def. worth a stop by if you want to find a gift for the Sox fan in your life this Christmas. They have all sizes too. Guys, Boys, Girls, Toddlers, even down to infants. Check it out and at the very least you'll have fun just looking around. read more

This is probably the best place to find White Sox jerseys, hats, and other sports items we don't need, but want. The store is clean, well organized, and help is friendly. The only downside is pricing for certain items. Jerseys can run $100 or more. There are a few parking spots in the back which is good, and on non-game days there are spots in front. All in all, a solid place. read more

Holy crap, this place is huge! Had a pleasant experience here. Staff was helpful, and they had a large selection of White Sox, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks gear. My friend in Boston has been looking for a Blackhawks visor, and so far this is the only place in Chicago that actually had one. I would defiantly return if I was looking for any other Chicago sports gear. read more

I've been coming to grandstand before or after Sox games since I was a kid, and it's always had the best selection of sports gear in the city. The owners are extremely nice and helpful, and if you're a jersey geek like me, they'll gladly talk your ear off. The prices are about the same as you'd fine anywhere else, but you won't really find team apparel discounted unless you're buying a knockoff jersey on eBay anyway. This is the place to buy a Sox jersey though, as they do the lettering for the team. Personally, one thing I miss is the wider range of teams Grandstand used to stock. They always had jerseys from almost every MLB team, which set them apart from newer stores like the Chicago Sports Depot, but at some point they switched to offering only stuff from Chicago teams. I guess the wider availability of gear for any team online made it less viable to carry the stuff in-store, but as someone who buys other teams' jerseys, I always liked having a place to go check them out in person. read more

A co-worker recommended this place since I was looking for a specific era of Sox hat. I was amazed by all the stuff. I was looking and found the hat I wanted and it was fitted. I walked past a counter to look at the hats. This is when I lost my ability to give this place a good rating. An older gentleman, around 50 starts calling me some name and I didn't realize it was directed at me. He was rude but got even worse. Tells me this is behind the register and I can't be there. A simple and polite, sorry sir, but we ask all customers to stay on the other side of the counter and is there something I can help you with. I was with my daughter and her friend and they even said he didn't need to be rude. After I walk out from behind the counter area, another employee puts up a chain that was not up at the time of my passing. My daughter had merchandise in hand and I was ready to buy a few things as well. My small sale won't put them out of business, but I am also not going to stop writing this review. If you choose to shop here, understand some of the employees are not very nice people. read more

If you have children, don't shop here. Store policy doesn't allow strollers in the store at anytime. I think it would be perfectly reasonable to have a policy like this at the store during busy times, such as two hours before a Sox game. I went to the store at noon this past Saturday (there were two other customers in the store, game wasn't until 6 pm) with my nephew in an umbrella stroller and was turned away at the door. I was told I could carry the baby around while I shopped, but could not bring the stroller in. This was not an option. A manager came by to help with the situation and eventually said we could bring the stroller in, but her attitude was less than desirable. This whole incident just put a real sour taste in my mouth about the store so I left and didn't shop at all. So please spread the word, if you have a child in a stroller, you're business is not wanted. It would be interesting to see what the legality of this policy is. Would a wheelchair bound shopper be turned away? What about a disabled child in a stroller? Both a wheel chair and stroller for a disabled child would be wider than the umbrella stroller I was using. The workers stated this stroller ban was because of insurance purposes. Just a super weird situation. read more

Called ahead for something specific, assured they looked, had it in my size and would hold it. Drove 40 minutes for nothing, they tried to give me a different color in the wrong size. This was after waiting in line behind another disgruntled customer. I won't go there again. read more

This is THE shop to get all your Sox merchandise. Located about a home run's distance from U.S. Cellular, Grandstand has just about any type of Sox memorabilia you could dream up. On top of that, the store is run by a very friendly staff, and the prices are surprisingly cheap. Also, they have a fair share of Blackhawks gear as well as other MLB teams. They're even diplomatic enough to supply a few Cubs merch. However, the less said about that the better (JK). So forget the high prices at the ballpark and head over to the good folks at Grandstand! read more

If you're a Chicago sports fan, Grandstand's got you covered! They're a family-run business, and it shows in the service they provide. Stephanie (the owner's daughter) was beyond helpful a couple years ago when I purchased a green White Sox jersey for my beau just a few days before St. Patricks Day. I found their site online, but it seemed like they were updating it so I couldn't place my order through their website. I called and Stephanie helped me over the phone--she gave me multiple options, and in the end I got exactly what I was looking for (even though I didn't know it was even possible before I called), and it was more affordable than I expected! I also wanted to get a hat to match the jersey, but hadn't seen the "ideal" one on their website. When I described to her what I was looking for, she said, "Oh yeah, we have that!". She really knew their inventory well and was so accommodating in all of my requests. I knew I waited to the last minute to purchase a St. Patty's inspired jersey, so I wasn't expecting it to show up in time for my beau to wear it on 3/17. But low and behold, it did! Without me even asking, Stephanie took it upon herself to get the jersey personalized and shipped out the very next day...knowing it would really make someone's day, and it did! It's because of service like that--always going the extra mile--that Grandstand is our go-to place for all of our White Sox gear. When Stephanie heard we were headed to Chicago to catch a game that summer, she told us to stop by and introduce ourselves...so we did. We were able to chat with her and her mom for a while, and they even suggested a place for us to eat dinner and called to make a reservation for us! We came back a few days later to stock up on some gear before leaving town, and they ended up giving me one of my hats for free--they totally didn't have to do that, but I think it was their way of showing how much they appreciated our business. Like many other Yelpers have mentioned, they don't only have White Sox stuff--they have sports apparel and memorabilia for all Chicago pro sports teams, and a lot of it. I've never seen a store with a greater selection than Grandstand. They have way more than what you see on their website, so if you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by. Something they really seem to specialize in are jerseys of the past. I got a red & white 1970s style Sox jersey, and they have tons of others to choose from. Remember: besides their daily hours, they're always open after every White Sox home game. read more

I went here to pick up a couple of birthday presents for some cub fans. There is a large selection and a lot of really cool and cute (for the ladies) hats. This store is near U.S. Cellular, so you will see more Sox items than Cubs. However, I easily found a great hat for both people. I like this store a lot. read more

This is a must stop for any White Sox fan. Just a few blocks west of Sox Park. The store has just about anything and everything you could want that has a Sox logo on it. From White Sox decorations to White Sox baby clothes and everything in between. They have lots of different styles of White Sox hats and have a great collection of retro White Sox gear. Besides White Sox merchandise they also carry Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, and Cubs items as well. Next time you are at a game or just in the area stop by this place. read more

My first instinct is to give Grandstand 1 star. My experience started off less than satisifactory. I ordered two Sox onesies on 1/31. I received my order confirmation despite initially receiving an "error, your order could not be processed, please call..." message. In a word - Frustrating. But it seemed all was right with the world when I received that confirmation email. However more than a week later I had not received any other communication by way of shipping notification or the package itself so I called to find out what the hold up could be. I was told at that time that they were sold out of the size I had ordered which was why nothing ever shipped (thanks for letting me know??) but over the phone we updated the order to another size, I was told a Sox teddy bear would be thrown in as well to make up for the hassle and once again I was feeling good about things and appreciated the Teddy Bear peace offering. Fast forward a week and half later after returning from vacation. Still no package. I called again - "It's out for delivery." Fair enough. I took down the tracking number in case it wasn't delivered by the end of the day. And wouldn't you know it, that day came and went and no package arrived. So 2/21 - 20 days later I tracked the package only to find that it was indeed out for delivery...and had been since the 11th. Yikes. Frustrated I called Grandstand again. "We'll call you back with an update." I never received a call. At that point, a one star review would have been considered gushing. Apparently UPS was supposed to call me to let me know the package was indeed lost, but an employee at Grandstand had packaged up my order and drove it over to the UPS store and requested next day delivery. The girl I spoke with apologized profusely and even sent me a screen shot of the UPS tracking page showing that the new order was already out for deliver as of 4:42 am today. She reassured me I could call anytime and should immediately if the package does not arrive by 5PM. It's just a good thing I left plenty of time between my order date and the baby shower these were intended for. Beacon of preparedness over here. So all in all, I probably wouldn't order online again and just take the time to go to the store, but everyone I spoke to was really nice and helpful when it came down to making sure I ended up a satisfied customer. Now let's just hope this damn package arrives today. read more

Holy Crap. The first time I walked into this place was like the first time I walked into Sam's Wine and Liquors. Definitely a Sox fan's dream. Especially a North Side Sox fan's dream!! No more picking through racks of blue and red to find the one black and gray Sox shirt. This place is all Sox, all the time. For me, dangerous. But definitely the only place to go for Sox apparel. Check it out, and bring your credit card. read more

They have stuff here you can't find anywhere else on earth it seems. When you first walk in it is overwhelming. Tons of Sox gear, and lots of other Chicago teams gear. They have an amazing selection of fitted hats and jerseys. Authentics and replicas alike. They have a huge selection for the ladies and kids as well. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They can put a name and number any jersey here. They also have millions of collectable items. Flags, mats, glasses, pens, pins, magnets, pictures, you name it. A must for any Chicago sports fan (especially White Sox fans). read more

Disappointed. Rude staff. Great selection of white sox merchandise but would never go back to this place.

Grandstand was great about my lack of knowledge of jerseys. They answered all my questions and even called me when the correct size of the jersey I wanted came in. Their customer service is excellent and I would recommend Grandstand Limited to everyone! read more

This place is badass,I'm a huge BLACKHAWKS,WHITESOX,BEARS,BULLS Fan.an they have everything that I want in there.its too dangerous for me to be in there too long,because I can easily spend over $300 just getting kool stuff.they have everything you need. read more

I'd give this place 10,000 stars if I could. Very nice people. A family owned store, and every time I go in, they always say thank you and tell me they appreciate my business. If you ever need a jersey customized, this is the place to go. Reasonable prices, and they get it done quick. I can't recommend them enough. Most of the stuff they sell is White Sox related, but they do have things for other Chicago teams also. You can't go wrong here. read more

I am a fitted hat fiend, and this is my place to go for Sox caps. All colorways, all styles, and exclusives you won't find anywhere else. If you're looking for other teams, you can find every authentic MLB cap here. The owners are always incredibly nice, even though I get the feeling they aren't too crazy about people like me who are not huge sports fans but just want their caps for fashion purposes. Regardless, I have never had a bad experience here. Helpful staff and a great selection. If you are on the market for a fitted, go here before a mainstream place like Lids. read more

Grandstand Limited is an amazing store. They have an incredible selection of Chicago sports gear and memorabilia. The people who work at this store are very friendly and helpful. Grandstand Limited is a much better store than Chicago Sports Depot. The sports gear and memorabilia at that store are too expensive and the people who work there aren't as friendly and helpful. If you're in the area, check out Grandstand Limited one day. read more

Negtive experience...I bought a Bears umbrella and t-shirt a couple of weeks ago which cost me about $85.00. I went there right before closing so I was rushing. When I got home, I saw the base of the umbrella was cracked. I went back a few days later with my receipt to have the umbrella exchanged. The owner, a female, told me I had not bought the umbrella that way and would not exchange it saying the price tag was off. I told her I had taken the tag off because it had been a birthday present. Very nasty attitude, from the owner, no less!! Has anyone else had a bad experience there or is it just me, a female??? read more

Very poor business policy. They refuse to take credit cards without chip which means the local byline bank card won't work here. Owner need to update readers to take all cards. I do have a business and know how things work. Laziness on owners part. They make so much money here that they don't care they passed up a $400 sale plus my $500 sale when my other merchandise comes in. Wow! That's insane. read more

I've lived by Grandstand my whole life and it's a pretty nice place to visit. I live by the U.S. Cellular field (now called guaranteed rate field sadly) as well. The reason that I'm giving this place 3 stars is because I remember when I was little, I took like 10 minutes to pick out a hat and the lady and man that ran the store were so rude. They were like "if you're not going to buy anything get out"... little did they know I actually was intending on buying things but they didn't have any respect for me just because I was small.. if you value your family, maybe you shouldn't take your younger children here... but I came here pretty recently to buy a hat and a jersey and I didn't have much issues with the costumer service. The gear is really expensive but all sports gear cost some dough. During the World Series, the entire store didn't have a single sox thing on the display (which is funny since grandstand is 5 minutes away from the six stadium). Overall, grand stand is pricey but the quality of the items are pretty good. The staff have become more friendly but I'm still hurt by how they treat me before. Anyone who needs sports gear should come here, they no doubt have a huge selection of things but be careful if you are young they might treat you poorly! read more

My husband and I are completely disappointed with the staff. They followed us around and kept looking at us as if we were going to steal merchandise. We are NEVER going back again. Don't waste your money or your time! Go spend somewhere else as we did. read more

Grandstand offers an unbeatable selection of White Sox, Bears, Hawks, Bulls, and even Cubs gear. Its proximity to The Cell has helped Grandstand earn its place in the hearts of White Sox fans everywhere. They have items to fit every fans' style, whether you are a little girl or a fearsome gangbanger. They also have some rather unique items for sale, such as a line of White Sox caps with various nation's flags sewn into the side, in lieu of, say, an All-Star or World Series patch. In typical Bridgeport fashion, the cap with Israel's flag on it had a price tag labeled "Jewish". I get sort of a "who sent ya?" vibe from some of the staff there. At least one guy told me a flat out lie when I inquired about a hat they didn't have in stock. It's okay if he didn't know the answer, but I didn't appreciate him just making things up. These are annoyances- annoying enough to mention, but not so much to drop Grandstand down to A-OK status. They are the store for White Sox fans, after all. At some point in the next year or so I'll ruin the hat I recently bought there, and I'll be happy to give Grandstand my business again. read more

Don't go on game day because parking is a hassle. Place has a ton of stuff just a little pricy. Walking distance from the sox stadium.

We have shopped here for years, and spent a ridiculous amount of money here. All of which could have been purchased other places for much cheaper. We always supported the small business. On our last visit the the staff was very rude and refused to let our young child use their restroom...they have allowed it several times in the past. Their complete lack of customer service means we will gladly take our business elsewhere. read more

I love going to Grandstand. Its not cheap there, but there is quality to there merchandise. The employee's are friendly and helpful. The store has a huge inventory, something for every Sox fan. Yes, they do carry some Cubs items. If your going to the game, stop in and take a look. Yes, they do have security and there usually off duty cops. I am glad to see that they have another parking lot. Parking can be hard around there. read more

Huge selection of Chicago sports apparel. You're bound to find something unique that you'll love.

"Location - Location - Location!" is in their bag also. I am proud to attend games at Cell Field with "72" and "FISK" expertly sewn to my Sox Jersey. Grandstand did the great job I was hoping for. read more
