White Sox players enjoy Blackhawks' run, too
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The White Sox have Blackhawks Fever, too.
But just like a number of Chicago fans, they’ve mostly been shut out in their efforts to acquire tickets for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, which is being played 17 miles away in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday night.
The White Sox play at 3:10 p.m. CST, which means it's feasible players could catch at least some of the 7 p.m. contest. Despite their efforts, only catcher Tyler Flowers has been able to secure a ticket to Amalie Arena. Before the series began, the Tampa Bay Lightning restricted ticket sales to Florida fans only, which has prevented a number of Blackhawks fans from attending — White Sox players included.
