• 1st visit to Guaranteed Rate Field (MLB Ballpark #12)
• 2nd different ballpark watching the Chicago White Sox
• 4th different ballpark watching the Angels

We have an early Monday day game for the third of our eight-day, eight-game Midwest baseball road trip. Weather in Chicago was the complete opposite of the day before in St. Louis: cloudy, wet, and rain on-and-off throughout the day.

Guaranteed Rate Field has plenty of lots for parking so we drove straight from the hotel.

Dylan Cease would pitch seven inning and throw 11 strikeouts on the way to a White Sox 3-0 win.

Personally, I was hoping to see Shohei Ohtani start but he would only come in as a late-inning pinch-hitter and proceed to ground out.

Ballpark Features

• Champions Plaza

Champions Plaza is an area outside of the main gate that honors the 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series Championship team. The monument featuring Paul Konerko and Joe Crede highlight the plaza.

Seat Selection

• Section 154 (Lower left right on the 3rd base line)

We got these seats very cheap but, with low attendance on a cold wet day game, we moved much closer along the 3rd base side.

Ballpark Food of Choice

• Italian Beef

Guaranteed Rate Field has probably the widest selection of foods for all Major League ballparks. Almost any choice of food at the ballpark will be a great choice, but avoid the pizza.
