Comiskey Park was home to the Chicago White Sox from 1910-1990. The park was built in 1910 by then owner Charles Comiskey. The field hosted four World series including one played by the Cubs due to lack of seating at Wrigley Field. In addition the park hosted the 1937 heavyweight title match in which Joe Louis defeated then champion James J. Braddock in eight rounds. In addition to hosting the infamous "Black Sox" series the stadium was also the site of the ill-fated "Disco Demolition Night" in 1979. The promotion saw 50,000 paid fans and another 20,000 unpaid fans storm and destroy the field causing the White Sox to forfeit the second game of the doubleheader.
These seats are all-original, free-standing stadium seats from Chicago's Comiskey Park. The seats are painted a bright, hospital ward green that has chipped and worn in several areas, revealing the original steel and wood. One seat has the intricate “radiator” design on one side of the seat indicating it once stood at the end of a row. The seat number '293' is pressed into the top slat with a stenciled white "4" on the left side. The other seat is a middle seat and has seat number "328" pressed into the top slat with a white stenciled "12" on the left side. A pair of beautiful seats with plenty of authentic wear from the Chisox' heyday.
