U.S. CELLULAR FIELD - Chicago, IL

diamondbacks vs white sox - june 13, 2005 - and the award for greatest over-use of the midi music file format goes to...THE BALLPARK FORMERLY KNOWN AS NEW COMISKEY PARK! that's right, they played everything from ac/dc to the red hot chili peppers to "santa claus is coming to town" (not making that one up) in that oh-so-annoying midi format; with an occassional organ ditty thrown in for good measure. it was horrible. as for the park itself, despite a recent, almost criminal name change, it's very nice. too nice maybe, in that it has no real personality. at least that i could see. the 30,000 fans were into it and it IS a beautiful park, but there is just nothing special about it. sorry guys. but they do also get the award for hottest stadium activities girl. so that's a plus.
