Get Your Pizza Here

2014pizzaThe concessions landscape has been upended at both local stadiums as both the Cubs and the White Sox are expected to have new pizza vendors this season.  After 3 seasons of D’Agostino’s pizza, which I somehow never managed to try, the Cubs announced yesterday that Giordano’s is the new exclusice “pizza partner” of both the Cubs and Wrigley Field.

Meanwhile, the scuttlebutt out of Sox Fest is that Beggars Pizza will be taking over for (shudder) DiGiornos on the South Side this season.  If so, this would be a major upgrade.  My pizza consumption at US Cellular Field had dropped to nothing due to the horribleness that was the frozen, grocery store pizza.  If the rumors are true, I might actually enjoy a slice at the old ballpark this season, something that hasn’t happened since at least 2012, if not earlier.

2011 Ticket Design + Other Changes

The White Sox went for a little change in their ticket design for 2011.  I’ve had season tickets since 2005 and they’ve always used basically the same, verticl layout.  This year we’ve got a nice horizontal approach, showing action shots of Matt Thornton, AJ Pierzynski, Alex Rios, Juan Pierre, Mark Buehrle, and Paul Konerko.

Other rumored changes for the upcoming season:

The TBD Sports Bar has been expanded and renamed Comiskey Grill.

The Jim Beam Club is now known as the Home Plate Club.

Connie’s Pizza is out as the official pizza, to be replaced by DiGiorno’s.  As someone who frequents the pizza stand, I’m slightly worried about this change.
