In the first inning of the White Sox’s 11-2 win over Detroit on Thursday, I was sitting in section 106 at Guaranteed Rate Field, which if you haven’t heard is the newest awful sponsorship name for Sox Park, with a few strangers. The stadium had an announced attendance north of 10,000 and an actual attendance, maybe, of 2,000. Twenty-five hundred, max.
There was a high school group next to me ordering hot chocolates and Dippin’ Dots. (The children are our future. Let them lead the way.)
All of a sudden, a vendor with a giant backpack came by selling frozen margaritas.
