So you have a bar of which you lost sponsorship for across the street. lost the operator (Gibsons) because they lost money on the revenue of the place.

Why not run it yourself with some agreement/input from the family that owned McCuddys? Bury the hatchet?

Thoughts?

I am not questioning you as I am not in the know but this afternoon Mac and Drinky trumpeted it was still Gibson's food.

Heard Drinky say that as well, but I thought they pulled out. Either way, the sponsor BACARDI pulled out. Know one guy who drinks rum, never thought it was a big mover, unless you are selling the drinks in the fish bowls with 10 straws.

Who really gives a damn about the McCuddy's family? We all get it. Babe Ruth used to eat hot dogs there and I think gave the owner a bat.

When your biggest claim to fame isn't even a part of White Sox lore, and not particularly interesting anyway, I say good riddance.

Again, I haven't been there and not 100% sure but is it also not open except game days? That defeats the whole purpose if so. Make a fake disneyland bar scene open all the time so people are always there and the game is a thing to do.

The purpose of bars around the cell should be to have people wanting to be there all the time. Not rape them on game days for $8 beers and whatever. They can bring a case and smokey joe and stay in the lot. That does not create a scene or casual attendance.

Actually not allowed to stay in the lot during the games. :D

I am not asking to build the bar. You already did that.

Would you go?

I've been there 2-3x and never during baseball season. It's a "nice" idea, but it wasn't built with fans like me in mind. I live 10-15 mins from the park & would much rather eat/drink at home or a friend's instead of overpaying there before or after the game.
