Ditto. I'm going to e-mail the Sox and find out more info.

Pretty much my thoughts on the matter, too. Good to see that they actually listened to people. Now they just need to show up.

Terrific news. Kudos for listening, White Sox!

Wow. Good job on taking the initiative and hiring this guy to do the research. One of the things Arte Moreno did when he bought the Angels was a bunch of fan surveys, which lead to him decreasing ticket prices, making beer cheaper, and many other things. Obviously the Angels are in a much different situation financially and market-wise, but listening to the fans has worked for them. I hope this study leads to more comprehensive change in the Sox' marketing and public relations.
This is huge for the Sox. I don't think it will turn things around and create a huge amount of enthusiasm about a "new direction" for the franchise (because I don't think anything short of new ownership would do that), but I think it will help create a buzz about the team. You've got to get people into the park to build fans. You have to make a good atmosphere which looks enticing on TV. That's what the Cubs did. The Cell is not and never will be Wrigley, but the same concept applies. Nobody likes sitting in an empty park. Hell, even if you only fill the lower deck (I believe 28,000) that will look SO much better on TV broadcasts. People going to a handful of cheap games now, be they fans or just people looking for something to do, are going to be more likely to spend much more money on the team later.

If I didn't have an infant, I would be inclined to go to more games. I did make it to five last season. Maybe the little one will experience his first game next season.

I've got a share of a friend's season ticket plan, but this will definitely make day of game decisions to go much more appealing to me. Those extra wide corner seats in the lower deck are some of my favorites.

Great move by the Sox. Hopefully this will mean a fuller ballpark on most days/nights -- though Im always amazed at the number of reasons/excuses Sox fans invent to justify not showing up. In my opinion, cost was the only legitimate excuse for most people.

Like many of you are posting, this means I'll go to more games.
Would be nice if parking dropped to $15, but I'll take it. |

Still no word on dynamic pricing, but apparently Brooks says they're eliminating prime and premier pricing. In the Tweet I got this link from, Dan Hayes said a club official mentioned wanting to reconnect with the fan base.

So Club Level, Lower Box, Premium Lower, and Gold Coast & Scout Seats are staying the same/increasing?
I have a feeling alot of people in Lower Box will jump to a different section. |

Tribune story here. Not sure if it includes any details that haven't already been raised in this thread.
Christmas comes early this year. ![]()

If this thread is a nutshell of the fan base's reaction to this, hope the Sox realize now what played a big part in keeping fans away last season.

I think - for the sake of the casual fans - they still need to help market the hell out of the neighborhood and area surrounding the park (as being safe, clean, etc.), but this is a start.
