Old Comiskey Park (3/3)

This is video I shot from my last game at Old Comiskey. I wanted to soak in as much of the flavor as possible. It wasn't about the game, it was about that park. All that's missing is the smell of grilled onions, mixed with the cigar smoke, mixed with the marijuana, mixed with the beer, mixed with the urine. I've since moved to St. Louis - Cardinal fans and Sox fans are very similar in one respect.....in that when it comes to Chicago baseball, there is only ONE major league team........THE SOX!

This is so great. I saw my 1st Sox game in 1986 thanks to the "perfect attendence" tickets and from that point I was hooked. I don't know if it was the same game, but MY last game at Comiskey was during this same series vs Boston. I'm still ticked that my dad passed up tickets for the last game against Seattle. Anyway, my dad, grandpa, and I would go to 5 or 6 games a year. This video brought back some great memories from those times. Thanks for posting.

@duke1425 Thanks for checking out the video. So glad I dragged the Sony Handycam to the game that night!

This is great footage of a classic ballpark. I have similer video of the Astrodome that I recorded in the final season in 1999. I'm getting it ready to post within the next 3 weeks you should check it out when I do.

Thank you for these wonderful memories. This was the first and only game my dad could afford to take me to as a kid. I sat in the RF section that you showed in the Second Video. My dad was a big sox fan he passed Sept 7th 2005 he never got to see them win it all. God bless you dad I love you.... Go Go White Sox!

Thanks so much for posting these. Those panorama shots of the park with Nancy playing in the background really bring back memories, make one wish that it was still (over) 20 years ago. Great work!

Commiskey Park is much better than the one they replaced it with. They shoud have just refurbished the Comiskey . I think Comiskey is better than Wrigley.
