The 2019 baseball season is underway and there have been some changes the old ballparks.\u00a0 Both Guaranteed Rate Field and Wrigley Field debuted some new amenities for their fans as the White Sox and the Cubs got underway over the last few weeks.\"\"<\/a>First, on the south side, comes the new Goose Island section.\u00a0 On the concourse behind the section is a faux CTA train, where many different variants of Goose Island beer can be purchased.\u00a0 Right behind the bar is a gathering space, with a large goose head drawing people there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Over on the north side, the biggest change, affecting the entire ballpark, are the renumbered sections and seats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As we learned last November<\/a>,\u00a0the seating bowl at Wrigley Field has been completely renumbered.\u00a0 In what the Cubs described as a \u201cmore intuitive seat numbering system\u201d, the upper deck has new designations, as the previous 400-level seats are now the 300-level and the 500-level is now the 400-level.\u00a0 In addition, an L or R will be added to the (now) section number to designate whether you are in left field or right field.\u00a0 My seats, which previously were in row 1 of aisle 509, are now, as you can see, in 408L.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Finally, in the final phase of the big remodel, new food stations were opened behind the seats in the upper deck.\u00a0 The previous food station, underneath the press box behind home plate, has been converted into a private club.\u00a0 The food options, sadly, have not been improved.<\/p>\n
