Though the return of SoxFest continues to become less of a reality with each passing day, the White Sox have instead begun sharing details for their upcoming season ticket holder event.
According to emails that have been sent out over the past few days, the team will be holding an event called Winter with the White Sox. The exclusive three-hour gathering for season ticket holders will be hosted at the Field Museum on Friday, January 26, 2024 starting at 6:00 PM CT.
Copy of the email that has been sent to season ticket holders.View the exhibits of the museum while you mingle with our current players and coaches of the Chicago White Sox, the message said. Light hors doeuvres and drinks will be served during the event.
As for the once-annual fan convention traditionally held during the same timeframe, the latest update on SoxFest continues to reveal no actual update. We dont have anything official to share, a spokesperson with the White Sox told WGNs Eli Ong just last week.
Last years cancellation marked the third straight year that SoxFest has not been held. The team said the cancellation of the 2023 convention was due to several factors, but never elaborated on what those factors were. There was also no attempt to offer any alternative event before the season either, making the situation even more frustrating for many.
McCormick Place served as the most recent host for the convention when it was last held in 2020 after several years at the Chicago Hilton. The gathering saw an increased number of fans as the teams window of contention opened up. However, SoxFest did not take place in either 2021 or 2022 due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Its hard to say if the positive attendance trend wouldve continued had it continued to be held. With the teams contention window now slammed shut and the organization in turmoil after accusations related to their culture among other things, its hard to say what the future may hold.
The bottom line is this, all fans deserve better and the organization should at least provide better transparency related to the process. Well keep our fingers crossed that some sort of positive update related to the event is eventually shared.
