This is pretty accurate.
Funny Ace should say this - I was looking at photos of "New Comiskey," as it was then known, from when it opened in 1991 and in the first handful of years subsequent to that, and there were a few shots looking at home plate from the vantage point of the pitcher's mound / second base, but with all the stands visible, and I kept thinking it was the Vet. I had to remind myself the Vet did not have grass.

Here at New Comiskey tonight, and I am happy to report that, in person, the facelift they have done on this place is quite effective. Very pleasant inside, not at all Vet-like, which is great except for one thing: the only stadium I can remember being in with no walkway to go around the whole thing inside the seating bowl. You can’t walk around and get every vantage point from the seating area, need to be behind it in the concourses.
An odd item: while they do not appear to have actually physically closed off the upper deck here, no one - I mean no one - is sitting in it. I see a couple of ushers sort of milling around up there which makes me think you could, but no one is. I think they have accomplished this by selling the tickets I bought: $4.75 to sit anywhere in the outfield. I am 15 rows back of the fence.
Very pleasant outing thus far. Go Sox!
