What Recession? Cubs, Sox Freezing Concession Prices

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Mar 11, 2009 7:30PM

While the current tumultuous economic climate has several Major League Baseball teams planning to offer discounted concession items and value deals to fans in the 2009 season, the Cubs and Sox are not among those teams. Instead, it appears as if the pair of Chicago teams will keep their concession prices right at 2008 levels. The Cubs use Levy Restaurants for their concessions; team spokesman Peter Chase said, ''We always have an ongoing dialogue about different promotions and offers for fans, but at this time we don't have a new discount program in effect."

While the Sox don't have any plans to change their prices in place, it seems they may be a little more open to something. Sox spokesman Lou Hernandez said that no changes have been made so far, but team officials will meet this week to discuss their options: ''It's certainly something we've taken into consideration. At this point, no. But that could change by Opening Day.'' [Sun-Times]
