Pretty cool, thanks for posting and bringing back so many memories, loved that place. Attended a lot of games from 1955 to 1990 and sat just about everywhere in the Palace from way out in the leftcenter field upper deck to the great box seats behind home plate also in the upper deck, only sat in the bleachers 1 time for the 1986 home opener. Also worked there as a vendor in 1962.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 04-28-2022, 01:26 PM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

Very cool. Man, those seats in left field lower deck, way back in the corner under the roof are what I remember most. I remember looking up at those little TVs they had hanging from the poles.
The sight lines seem terrible and the place feels very claustrophobic. I can only image how loud it got with all of those overhangs over the seats.

There was an article in one of the Chicago papers when the Palace closed in 1990 and the author remarked that while Wrigley yayed, Comiskey roared.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

It had the usual ballpark odors but on a hot summer night with a southwest breeze there was no stink like what came from the stockyards at any other ballpark in the country.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 04-29-2022, 03:23 PM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.
