A friend of mine and I went to a game here in 1996 while visiting Chicago. We bought tickets the afternoon before the game and got great seats. We were 10 rows right behind home plate. Anything in field level is nice but I am glad we weren't in the upper deck. It's way too high and they built this stadium 1 year too early. I am glad to see the improvements they have made though to correct the upper deck problem. My rating of 7 is based on how it is now. Back in 1996 I would have rated it a 6. The overall game experience was nice though.

My first game there was in 2004 on August 6th between the White Sox and Cleveland Indians. My seats were in section 111. They were in the lower deck down the right field line. They were average seats. The food at the Cell is perfect. I'd advise getting a bratwurst or even a hot dog. The washrooms are pretty good and there is barely any waiting to go. If you've been to Wrigley Field they're isn't that much restrooms and the lines are pretty long and takes a while. the game was good too. The Indians beat the Sox 2-1 I believe the score was. Shortstop Juan Uribe got a homerun. I went again in July 21st, 2006 as the Sox faced the Texas Rangers. This time I sat in section 103 in right center field. Once again i enjoyed the game as well as the food. DH Jim Thome and 3rd Baseman Joe Crede put up homeruns. The Sox unfortuantly lost 10-3. The Park is much more fan-friendly then it was in the 90's. If you have children along take them to the fundamentals deck in left field.
