Comiskey Park
Chicago, Illinois
Comiskey Park, the home of the Chicago White Sox for 80 years, was the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball when it was demolished in 1990. Built in 1910, the “Baseball Palace of the World” was amongst a new generation of venues that ushered in a new building boom of ballparks constructed out of concrete and steel. Originally seating 28,000 fans, Comiskey was enlarged in 1927 to seat 52,000, but subsequent modifications over the years reduced the final capacity to 43,951. Experience all the things that made old Comiskey Park unique, including the Golden Boxes, Elephant Walk, the Bard’s Room and the left field picnic areas. The park is fully modeled in 3-dimensional form to create a virtual experience as it stood during the final season in 1990.

Special Ticket Only
Enjoy the game in style as a guest in the owner’s suite or entertain your friends in one of Comiskey Park’s “Super Suites”.
The Inner Sanctum
Go beyond the closed doors of Comiskey Park that were off-limits to the general fans, including the team clubhouses, press facilities, and the owner’s office. Drop by the original Woodland Bard’s Room as it looked when it was dedicated in 1917.
Around The "Midway"
The eccentric former White Sox owner Bill Veeck wanted the Comiskey Park concourse to feel like a carnival midway that mixes the food, smells and sounds of baseball. Stroll around the concourse and grab a hotdog in the left field picnic area, a beer in the Dugout Cafe or even get your shoes shined.
