White Sox Moving Press Box, Turning Old Space Into New Club

The White Sox are converting the press box on the mezzanine level at U.S. Cellular Field “into a new club lounge featuring 220 premium seats, with a lounge and restaurant-type food service,” according to Joe Cowley of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. The area will “retain the movable windows of the press box.” Seats will cost $250 each and “will be available only in a full season-ticket plan.” The press box will move to the second-tier mezzanine level along the first base line. The team’s “only other off-season renovation will be the continued replacement of blue seats to green seats throughout the park” (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 10/12). White Sox VP/Communications Scott Reifert said of adding the club, “Given our success on the field and at the gate, demand for tickets and premium locations for fans is extremely high.” He said the new press box “will be state-of-the-art, with a media wall, wireless, etc.” (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 10/12).
