A Stroll Around Old Comiskey Park

- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2020
- Walk around the entire perimeter of the main concourse at old Comiskey Park starting at the front entry behind home plate. Experience the range of food stands and sights including the left field picnic area added by Bill Veeck in the early 1960s. This digital recreation of old Comiskey Park shows how the park looked during the final season in 1990.
I miss The Baseball Palace of the World. I remember this place like I was there yesterday. I had season tickets for the last 18 years of the park. Brings back great memories. Thank you for the great job you have done with your recreation of it.
Would love to see one of these with Milwaukee County Stadium.
Or the Polo Grounds. They should do series for all the classic stadium that have been torn down.
Back in the late 1970's, Nancy Faust used to play that classic song, "Popcorn" by Hot Butter at every game I attended and I went to a lot of games. This video really brings me back to the main concourse and all of the fine details of the inner Comiskey Park. Nicely done!!
This was amazing and awesome! For seven minutes and sixteen seconds, I was 9 years old again and I was back at the ballpark during the Summer of '77. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!
It's been thirty years since I walked around the concourse just like as in this video. It's amazing how many things I see here and think to myself "I remember that!" I don't remember there being a locked gate between the left field concourse and the center field bleachers, though. Then again, it has been thirty years.
I do, it was always open during games.
This is great, not as good as still being able to be there, but pretty close, everything is as I remember it and Nancy's music makes it really feel like you are there. I miss the place a lot. I went to hundreds of games there and considered Comiskey my second home. Very well done, thanks..
Excellent work!!!!! I so miss this place , I spent a lot of summer days and nites here , it's too bad that in our country , temples are torn down instead of preserved. I wish that leaving a part of the structure and repurposing it would have been considered , and would have been a great tribute to the grand ole lady. Along with the home plate that now marks the hallowed grounds where some of baseball's firsts , and some records still stand today.
From 1967-1990 this was my 2nd home and had tons of memories there still miss Comiskey Park great video you put together I used to take those walks around the park when the crowds were thin. So for my grandparents my parents my brothers and myself I want to thank you for this quick little tour of the place i called home
I can almost smell the stale beer....
My family was season ticket holder 82-86 when I was a kid. Upper deck , first base side. Great seats.
My man , Carlton Fisk.....Dewey LaMarr Hoyt.....Richard Dotson.....a young Harold Baines. Some great players.
Also enjoyed Nancy on the organ. Listening to Joe McConnel on WMAQ doing postgame radio on the drive home.
The memories I have of that place.
The current park , whatever the name , just doesnt do it for me.
Between Comiskey and Chicago Stadium I was lucky to be able to attend the two greatest sports venues ever.
I remember that walk around so many times in the late 60s thru 80s. I was one of the old Sox Supporters in left field section 46. To bad the place was never kept up like this and if it were we still might have it today
Nice job. Brought back memories, especially of the picnic area. Back in the early to mid 1980's, I would grab the baseball schedule when it came out. I would take the train from Toronto to Chicago. There were times when both the Sox and Cubs played the same day at home. Would catch a game at Wrigley Field in the afternoon, then take the subway to Comiskey Park for a night game. Good times.
Thanks for the great memories, and stunning attention to details I'd almost forgotten. A big part of the enjoyment of Old Comiskey was that lively organ music. I loved it as a kid. Wrigley's organ never could match it.
Thank you so much for this, brings back. A lot of memories. Though it was never this clean and cigarette and pot smoke wafted from the higher walkway just above the lower concourse,
Watching that video was a real memory jarring. I spent a ton of time there with my dad as a kid. Tons of memories to say the least.
This is amazing. A time machine essentially. I never knew the name of that song Nancy played, but I share the same experience with another commentator. Seems like she always played it during opposing teams' BP. Strange - this has brought back so many latent memories. Thank you!
it'd be so cool to see this done with the legendary Ebbets Field
The architect who designed Comiskey Park also designed Wrigley Field Los Angeles. I imagine the concourse underneath was very similar.
What up with those statues in left? This was amazing, thank you so much for all of the hard work and attention to detail, this stirred up so many memories!!!
They were the "Forlorn Fountains". Sort of a White Sox "wishing well" put in by Bill Veeck in the early 60's.
@@bandboxballparks7081 what ever happened to those statues?
I remember sitting on that ledge with the statues in `83 against Baltimore. It was the game Larussa got tossed, and then he went and tossed 3B.
I have been in old Comiskey when I was stationed at Great lakes NTC in 1973-74. Those were the days of the red pinstripes.
I dare you to do the fabulous (sic) Baker Bowl in Philly
Baker Bowl would be a great!
@@bandboxballparks7081 Now you do have to show the goats kepingg the grass down, the stands burning once and collapsing once, the Phillies use Lifebuoy sigh in right field (and the still stink, according to the fans), the time they were caught using a telegrah wire running to the CF clubhouse that was used to steal signs...well, maybe not.
Just watched my youth...
The digital recreation doesn't do it justice. It cannot reproduce the atmosphere of that wonderful place that I visited so many times.
Amazing video! I've seen plenty of videos showing the playing fields of these historic ballparks but never the concourses. Do you have one for the Polo Grounds?
Maybe some day. Currently working on League Park, Cleveland.
Fantastic video!
What is the statue shown on the left around the @2:31 mark?
See response above...
and just like that, I’m nine years old again🥜
It was never this clean when I visited it. The park already was +60 yrs old
Oh man can you do this for Shea?
Please do one of Memorial Stadium!
When are you going to do more videos on Comiskey Park.
The only thing about this that I don't like is it makes the park look almost new. You would get a better feel for it's character if some of the aging was shown.
Lol the 2nd song played in this video was actually used in a porno and it was so funny watching the couple hearing that song that usually comes from a ice cream truck
The old channel 44 signs are missing
were the nancy faust 3 songs off her lp " nancy faust at the game" released in 1977?
Yes, Nancy was very kind to digitize the recordings for this project.
@@bandboxballparks7081 thats great i wish the album would be rereleased or available to buy on itunes? ...thanks bb
Can you do the Kingdome?
It was never that clean.
olivia newton john!!
And they tore this down because???
I've said it's a good thing the Colosseum is in Rome & not Chicago...it would be gone! 😥😪😫😔😟😳🥺💙💙💙
No offense, but here’s a reality check for you. The old Comiskey Park was an 80 year old, crumbling relic from the past, and it had to go. The place was falling apart. The stands had too many column posts blocking your views, there were not enough restrooms, and they reeked of urine. No amount of renovation money could save it. They needed a new ballpark, which was the only solution. Sometimes, you have to replace the old with new. Circle of life.
@@mcorivervsaf and at least Wrigley was preserved...miss The Stadium the most!!
The Real Comiskey never looked that nice. Place was a dump.
