I think 2008 was my season of like ~40-50 games between Wrigley, Comiskey, and Miller Park. At Comiskey you could still smoke on the ramps in the upper deck, so during one game I was out there in LF doin my thing and being the gentleman that I am I smoked up one of the concession guys who was on a smoke break.

After a nice conversation he was like "hey fam, whenever you're in the ballpark, it's worth your while to come on down to my area during the game... trust me on this one"

Sure enough, for the last few months of the season, whenever I'd come up to this guy and order a MGD, i'd give him a $10 and he'd give me my beer plus like $12 change, as if I had given him a 20. He'd do this like ~4-5 times per game, I'd turn around and tip a few bucks with each beer, and as it worked out I drank for free and he got like $10-15 in tips (plus a few puffs here and there).

That's the kind of experience you can only get at comiskey. Hell, in the late 90s/early 00s you could catch the business end of a blunt up in the cold-ass upper deck in early april games =D

Stadium construction in this city over the past 20 years has been a failure.

I agree with one exception, the United Center is pretty solid.

I'm certainly not calling you a liar, but I'm not sure how that worked for the vendor since he has to buy the beer before he sells it. That must have been some killer weed!
