Winter officially has its grip on Chicago, but this weekend the White Sox once again are bringing the heat indoors with SoxFest Live at the Ramova Theatre, in the heart of the South Side. Now in its second year at the iconic venue, the reimagined fan experience unfolds across two nights and blends player access, live programming, music and interactive moments designed to pull the faithful closer to the people shaping the organization’s future.
