White Sox and Wintrust unveil renovated scout lounge

CHICAGO ­-- The Chicago White Sox and Wintrust Financial Corporation announce the renovation of the 5,000-square-foot premium seating space, the Wintrust Scout Lounge. Featuring an upscale lounge, bar and private dining room, the updated Wintrust Scout Lounge, located near Gate 3, debuts at the start of the 2022 season.

Originally created at the ballpark in 2005, the exclusive, behind-the-scenes lounge is an all-inclusive club area that accompanies 248 Wintrust Scout Seats that are directly behind home plate. In addition to access to the Wintrust Scout Lounge, the premium seats offer field-level views in plush cushion seats as well as in-seat food and beverage service.

“We’re incredibly excited to grow our longstanding partnership through this premium space,” said Edward J. Wehmer, founder and CEO of Wintrust. “We appreciate the chance to align with first-class Chicago organizations that share our commitment to excellence like the White Sox. The Wintrust Scout Lounge demonstrates our mutual commitment to providing a top-notch experience to Sox fans. This modern addition to the ballpark space could not be better timed with all the excitement surrounding Chicago’s South Side team heading into baseball season.”

“The innovative design and fresh look of the Wintrust Scout Lounge provide our fans a world-class experience located in the familiar setting of the ballpark,” said Brooks Boyer, White Sox chief revenue and marketing officer. “We are grateful to create a new fan experience with a partner like Wintrust who has been with our organization for nearly a decade and is always passionate about taking the partnership to the next level for Sox fans. Wintrust shares our vision for combining the love of the game, the spirit of the White Sox brand and our commitment to building extraordinary spaces for our fans.”

The Wintrust Scout Lounge will feature an upscale, warm ambiance, drawing inspiration from the legacy, and highlighting the history, of the iconic White Sox franchise. The new decor includes exceptional detail, accented with leather, wood and wool elements as well as offers several large flatscreen televisions to capture every moment of White Sox baseball action.

The Wintrust Scout Lounge is exclusively available to fans holding Wintrust Scout Seat tickets. For more information about Wintrust Scout Seats and how to secure seats and access to the new lounge, please call 312-674-1000 or visit whitesox.com.
