YES, an MLB game was THIS EMPTY -- super cold day at Guaranteed Rate Field

- How many people were there? Maybe 300? Maybe 500? The entire upper deck was closed, and the vibe was WEIRD, but that's what happens when two bad teams face off on a freezing afternoon in Chicago. And get this -- the game was supposed to be played at night, but because of a frost advisory, it was moved up to 1:10pm, so the scheduling shift undoubtedly kept some folks away.
The two bad teams, by the way, were the Chicago White Sox (who will probably turn things around) and the Kansas City Royals (who unfortunately have no chance this season).
How many baseballs did I snag? How fast did I throw (without being warmed up!) in the speed pitch booth? How far did White Sox Starter Dylan Cease take a no-hitter? Did Royals prospect Bobby Witt Jr. manage to do ANYthing? How good does that deep dish pepperoni pizza look at the end of the video?
As promised here's the video that I did last year at Wrigley Field with Mike and Austin (and a few other kids). It has 776,000 views as of this moment. Help get it to a million!
• Wrigley Field security...
As for this empty game at Guaranteed Rate Field, it took place on April 27, 2022, and the video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks for watching!
This was a weekday game, it was freezing, it was moved up 5 hours to the middle of the day when everyone has to work/go to school (originally a night game) and the Sox were on a huge losing streak. I'm honestly surprised that many people showed up.
The term "Fair weather fan" exists for a reason.
Middle of the day and a bunch of kids are there with there parents 😂😂 I love it that shit warms my heart. 💜
You misspelled "bandwagon" ya bum.
just proves what a shit sport baseball is
Lol ya no. It’s like that year round. Day night summer doesn’t matter
I saw Bobby wit Jr's first home run in KC. Wonder if he was there.
Who would have thought that when you charge an arm and a leg for baseball tickets, your stadium is practically empty?
You need me for the home runs- wish I could have brought that magic again on Thursday but it just wasn’t meant to be.
That was my dumb choice for sitting in foul territory -- not your fault.
@@zackhample haha gotcha you need a foul ball at Fenway tho.
Crazy to think this is the closest major league stadium to my house and I haven't been to a game there in at least 10 years. I've been to a lot of other stadiums across the country since then but I somehow always miss the opportunity to go to a Sox game. I think I've even been to Wrigley twice since I've been there and that's all the way on the other side of town.
3:26 You can pretty much count the people on the stands.
Would love to go to an empty game, the only games I’ve been to are Sunday games and the other was a rivalry so they were pretty packed
Oakland’s ready for you!!
Empty = fun.
Just go to Oriole Park my guy
Probably Wrigley Field now, cuz admittedly, we suck (we just dropped doubleheader game 1 to the Dodgers)
@@thatguydylan314 wrigley is always sold
Out
I really love seeing how into it these young kids are and how happy they are when they see you and how your nice enough to give them baseballs. That’s something that they will always remember! I love this sport
It's definitely refreshing seeing people bestow acts of kindness on kids. I'm sure it also makes long lasting mlb fans. I'm curious if all of his postive publicity and acts of kindness to kids of families who are dropping serious $ contribute to teams saying throw him all the balls you can. If not, these owners need to. They get great expose and their fans leave with a postive experience and are gonna want to come back. You sir, are the hero baseball has been needing for years.
In Maine we have a Double A team Portland Sea Dogs it only holds 7,000 that place is dead on Wednesday afternoon I've seen foul balls hit in the back row and just left there until the game was over
Reasons why the white sox have low attendance. 1 Chicago is the Windy City so it is always cold. 2 the Cubs are the more popular team in the city. 3 idk
Your dedication of going to Baseball games is amazing, Zack!!!
i wouldnt say its a amazing so much as a dream come true. i mean if i could get paid to go to games all season wowwww id be in HEAVEN. and zacks passion for being at games is exactly how i feel. just being at these parks is so fun
@@soulfly3438 ngl same for me to
hahaha Guaranteed Rate Field or First Round Exit Field is that empty everyday..
5:13 I didn't hear either one of those kids say thank you nor did I hear their parents tell them to say thank you for giving them souvenir baseballs. It was still a nice gesture.
thats chicago for you
@@johnstoner8515 lol perfect answer
@@johnstoner8515 As a Chi-town native you are definitely not wrong
in canada we are very polite
It's the White Sox. Place is empty every season. Even these days when they actually have a good team which is rare, the Cubs are still averaging 10,000+ more fans a game and that team sucks.
Hey zack I was one of those kids in the front we came to Chicago on a field trip from stl it was awesome to see u there
I had to put on a jacket 1/2 way through watching this, and I'm in LA! 🥶 Great work Z! Nice to see so much sharing!
FEEL MY PAIN!! And thanks for watching.
There's something beautiful about a nearly empty stadium
Owners don't want to hear this kind of talk.
If many more games like this are played to near empty crowds, salaries will start to go down.
It's a matter of supply and demand.
That is actually the normal attendance at a Sox game lol
No crap Sherlock.
white sox game looking like an A's game with the seats that empty lol
Love these early season cold games, wish my dad will bring me to these instead of summer games
ask him brotha
@@baseballinsights5995 i do
Cold beer vender had me rolling hahahaha
I had a similar empty stadium experience at new Comiskey or whatever they’re calling it. Attended a mid week game vs the Orioles in 2018. The plus side: plenty of empty seats, ushers weren’t enforcing where you could sit, $8 tickets and $1 hot dogs. The downside: for every $1 hot dog I ate, it was chased down by an $11 beer.
Once watched a pre-2005 April Sunday afternoon White Sox v. Royals match from the upper deck boxes on the first-base side. Announced attendance (actually tickets sold) was just above 10,000, but it looked as though at most 1,000 showed up. Sox Park was so deserted that afternoon that I heard the whir of the scoreboards for the entire contest.
Those two rounds of hot dogs and beers are still cheaper than a Michelada at Dodger Stadium😅
Also, you had a $1 hot dog and not a kosher dog
I lived in Chicago and is a Cubs fan and me and my dad would make fun of how the Ballparks name would change every few years
My favorite part of the videos is watching all of the kids get the balls from you it’s always a feel good moment
Thanks. :)
That’s nice of you to say!
Zack Hamble I'm curious if you had a baseball giving to you as a kid?
Kind of creepy actually. This guy gets his jollies off by giving baseballs to little boys.
@@7deadlysloths ?????
Can you guys make this the top comment so zack can see this. Zack can you go to a Banna ball game
If the Cubs were good, I would say this is a normal day at the Sox park. 😂
What is the song playing in the background at 4:08 ????
Feels like an A’s game
This is the norm for a chicago white Sox game...
I always love your excitement Zack ...get into that stadium..it's magical
In the direct aftermath of hurricane Katrina an astros game was rescheduled to be played in Chicago at comiskey Park. There were like a hundred people there
Had the pleasure of going to a White Sox (and Cubs) game at Guarantee Rate and Wrigley when I went to Chicago in August 2017. Hopefully both teams can get back on more winning ways soon. Chicago fans are great and deserve better
Awesome to see you give the baseballs away. You probably made their year. 👍
Thank you Zack for being the best TH-camr ever! Can’t stop watching you videos
Thank you so much, Baseball Jimmy! :D
I read the description and I just knew this had to be about Guaranteed Rate Field. I've been to a few Sox games over the years that looked like they had maybe 2-300 people. Obviously probably about 2-3000, but I mean nobody around. Pick your seat. Nobody gives a s*** what you're doing. I was wondering around the scout seats behind the plate while Bobby Jenks is pitching in the middle of the game 😂😂😂.
Quit watching when the players kneeled down for America 🇺🇸. Woke Sox can go to hell or Cuba pick a location. Live free or Die. Let's go Brandon.
As a chicagoan 39 is warm in early spring
Man it was so great meeting you Zack!! Hopefully the 2022 Season treats you amazing🖤
i just went to a white sox game a week ago
on a cold day in Chicago and the vendor asked if anyone wants a cold beer.
Only in Chicago
That's why it's called guaranteed empty seat's Field. Wrigley Field is a complete sellout
Better attendance than the A’s though 😀
I would honestly love to go to a stadium that dead for once. Going to dodger stadium is like getting into an airport during an evacuation effort.
Still wearing your Cleveland Indians cap? Would players still give you a toss up with it on?
I’ve been to sooo many empty games because I’m from Pittsburgh….😐😐
This is a typical non-weekend game for Chicago's least popular pro team.
Hey Zack Great Video!
Thanks!
white sox could be playin better then the cubs anytime of the year and wrigley would still pull more fans easily
It actually doesnt matter if it is cold at the White Sox stadium. It actually doesnt matter if they are winning or losing they still cant get alot of people to come to games there.
You act like attendance for MLB games are booming. It isn't and it won't be ever again.
Inflation in a TH-cam video lol. Even the Orioles got more packed stadiums this year.
Go Mets!
Really went to how many games and didn’t get it, sad. My buddy Rodger caught it, gotta meet him and everything 🔥
And btw this was his first baseball game of his life, got free tickets from Uncle Gary then he got drunk AF and threw it in the fountain lmao
This game takes the phrase "fair weather" fans to the next level. That's not a lot of belief in you team!
you'll find cheaper seats in April vs July in Chicago
How many times does the announcer have to State how to exit the stadium like he said the same thing like five times already no respon no one was there he will go on and on and give you a headache
I hate these stadium naming deals. Guaranteed Rate Field is sooooo dumb sounding.
Least favorite stadium
That actually looks like a pretty cool stadium, dont know why it gets so much hate. Rogers Centre is a way more bare bones ballpark
When they first built it the steep uperdeck was much bigger and had no protection against the elements. In 2004 they got rid of a large portion of the upper deck and built the overhang. It totally changed the ballpark ambience , but those upperdeck seats are dangerously steep. I think It's a very underrated ballpark.
The people who hate on it have never been there. It's a good ballpark, just not the best
It’s the white Sox what do you expect 😂. They still can’t sell out the seats with that team
If you wanna go to empty games to get millions of balls pull up at ringcentral
Hi Zack! I hope you and Fenway Chris are doing great!
All good!
I’m a cubs fan but I would love to go to a white Sox game. I heard the food is better than at wrigley.
One of my friends (Cubs fan) went to a Sox postseason game, I think it went well
Thanks for all the videos Zach! It’s amazing watching all the the experiences you share with us
Super unpopular opinion:
Witt Jr sucks right now. 😮
White Sox are really good for going to an empty stadium.
I went to the night game the day before - even colder, and pretty much just as empty. Big perk of going to such an empty game? We got to move to seats right behind home plate after buying the cheapest tickets we could find. Terrible game, but a wild experience. Go Sox!
Baseball games should not be played when it's very cold.
It's the owner's faults for holding games in bitter cold weather.
The owners can't complain about low crowds when they feel the need to play games in cold weather.
Hi Zack how are you you doing today all is goood my name is Craig king from wales 🏴 Pembrokeshire south west wales 🏴
Yo! Doing well. Thanks for the nice comment, Craig.
One of the best baseball channels on TH-cam and TV! Thx for the grind💪🏻
That is about an average crowd for a White sox game.
No lines for food, bathrooms, no idiots running around. Love it
Guaranteed Low Rate Field. Low interest.
Should’ve used this title for an Oakland A’s game in Oakland
Ur at a white Sox game lol. What did u expect?
American family field soon?? Me and Shawn miss ya!
Aww, I'll try to make it there this year.
not gonna lie when i saw the thumbnail i thought it was an athletics game
Sox games are usually this empty!
Oakland might need a visit. Almost guaranteed to catch a ball during the game.
The nets really do suck in so many ways!!!!! 🤬
It's cute when little kids beg for baseballs. Not so much for grown men.
i dont think hes asking for baseballs to be cute
Got to a reds game lol, nobody is there
(literally 30 degrees out)
"Cold beer? Cold beer!"
Oakland A’s fan “That’s a lot of fans”
still more fans than an oakland game
Back in Chicago. Go sox
One of the worst stadium names
Cold beer? How 'bout a hot cocoa?
Nice Zack great video!
What was the song playing at 4:15
Hey zack great video keep up the great work
Thanks zack I love watching your Mike trout videos they are my favorite
I continually binge on your videos daily. I watched 5 just now, "I never knew you put a new one up till now."
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Easiest ball I ever caught was BP at Petco Park one time. Steve Finley (think he was with the Dodgers at the time) hit one that barely cleared the fence down by the right field foul pole and it bounced right to me!
I would like to say thanks to zack and Fenway Chris and other filmer for this awesome video
No Chris on this one, but thanks!
Sorry also I’ve been a fan for 7 years!
thats the norm for the soxs lol
2:49 "yeah I’ll let you watch me warm up thank God someone’s here to watch this game"
Just want to say I enjoy your videos! never been to an MLB stadium or game before. since I'm in Indy and all we have are the Indianapolis Indians (nice little stadium though). It looks like a fun experience being at a MLB game.
It sure is. Hope you get to attend one someday.
@@zackhample might be going to Reds vs Cubs in August. Hopefully.
When do you think you will be heading to Fenway? I’ll be there on Sunday the 30th of may and would love to see you there
Hmm, probably for the Angels series.
@@zackhample sounds good, see you for the series finale.
Worse then Oakland
Aw man I live in Chicago I would've loved to meet you! Are you out of town now?
Yeah, sorry. As it says in the description, this was filmed on April 27th.
Or just go to Cinci any day they always empty 😂
Or Oakland, Baltimore, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Minnesota ,KC,
No one watches the Sox
Not as empty as when the Rays were at the A's! I watched AdamtheWoo's vlog and it was about 2000 people in official attendance. Sad
