The 2023 baseball season is underway and there have been some changes at Guaranteed Rate Field.  Let’s start outside the stadium, where some nice, and long overdue, landscaping has been put in place.

The area surrounding the home plate from old Comiskey Park in parking lot B has been surrounded by artificial turf and blocked off from the rest of the parking lot.  In addition, strips of trees and vegetation has been planted across the divider between the lot and Gate 5.  While the reduced room in the lot makes it harder for me to park there, this is an overall net positive.

Inside the park, Miller Lite continues its takeover of right field.  After replacing Goose Island and rechristening the area behind the right field as Lite Landing last year, they have added additional branding above the out of town scoreboard on the scaffolding.

The upper deck gets two new clubs, the High Life Sky Lounge down the left field line and the Blue Moon Balcony along the right field line.  Both give upper deck patrons a place to stand and watch the game while imbibing in their beverage of choice.
