Batter up! White Sox season is here. Going to the game and back, is hardly the full White Sox experience. Make a day of it with the game day line-up below. Start your morning with a full meal. Next, pick up some much-needed team gear and get in the pre-game spirit with a drink. Finally, go to the game and celebrate the victory at Cork & Kerry.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So don't even think about skipping it! You have a long adventure ahead of you. Rocky's opens at 11:00 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday. That leaves plenty of time to grab a bite before the big game. Start off with a sandwich or burger or on Sundays, take advantage of the $10 brunch buffet. Bloody Mary's and Mimosas are almost always on special. Located only 3 blocks from U.S. Cellular Field, on game days, there's even a free shuttle to the ballpark.
Stop #2: Grandstand
600 West 35th Street
Chicago, IL 60616
(773)927-1984

Grandstand is the place on the south side to get White Sox gear. After brunch, head over to Grandstand to stock up on White Sox shirts, hats, jerseys and more. Their extensive collection will keep you shopping for hours. Remember, you have a game to watch.

Just a few minutes walk from Grandstand, outside Gate 5 at U.S. Cellular Field is the newly opened Bacardi At The Park. Open to both ticket holders and non-ticket holders, this is a great spot to grab a drink or snack before heading in to the game. With indoor/outdoor seating and tons of TV screens, you'll want to come back even when you don't have tickets to a game. If all of that shopping worked up your appetite, try the amazing food. Ribs and Angus Beef are just a couple of the must-have menu options.
