The game that is supposed to being played at Dodger Stadium, in Los Angeles, is being played at then Comiskey Park, because remember it changed names a couple of years ago. I see that the producers of the film, thanks the Chicago White Sox, along with the Chicago Cubs, and a couple of box offices, and other places. If so, this must be because they must have let me use their stadium to film that game, and they must not have gotten to real Dodger Stadium to film at. I regoznie a few things that makes me question this.

It is in fact Comiskey. The funny thing is I'm a teacher and I'm showing the movie right now because it's the end of the year. Well another class joined ours and I told my coworker that that particular scene is taped at Comiskey. She disagreed but the old center field used to be blue then they changed it to be black with a party deck ontop. I don't see the score board but it might not have been built, or the film makers took it out to make it seem like it was really Los Angeles.

yes, it is Comiskey Park. The movie was only shot in Chicago. and here's an fyi........Thomas Ian Nicholas will be throwing the first pitch and singing the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley Field on August 1. It's been 15 years since he last walked onto the field at Wrigley. After the game, he will be performing at the Cubby Bear at about 9pm. Then on Saturday at the Elgin Foxfire Festival at about 3pm. Check out his music at www.thomasiannicholas.com or www.myspace.com/thomasiannicholas.
