U.S. Cellular Field (formerly Comiskey Park) is a baseball stadium in Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the Chicago White Sox of the American League. The park opened for the 1991 season, after the White Sox had spent 81 years at old Comiskey Park. The new park, completed at a cost of $167 million, also opened with the Comiskey Park name, but became U.S. Cellular Field in 2003 after U.S. Cellular bought the naming rights at $68 million over 20 years. It hosted the MLB All-Star Game that same year. Some sportscasters and fans, however, continue to use the former name, (New) Comiskey Park. Prior to the demolition of the Old Comiskey Park, Comiskey was the oldest in-use ballpark in Major League Baseball, a title now held by Fenway Park in Boston. The second oldest in-use ballpark is now Wrigley Field on the North Side of Chicago.

History

The stadium was the first new sports venue built in Chicago since 1929 (The United Center opened in 1994). It was also the first baseball-only park since Royals Stadium (now Kauffman Stadium) opened in 1973, and the last built before the recent wave of new "retro-classic" stadiums. However, a few design features from the old park were retained. Most notable among them is the "exploding scoreboard," which is a replica of the one installed by Bill Veeck at the old park in 1960. The United Center is a sports stadium in Chicago, Illinois, located at 1901 W. Madison Street, west of downtown, which is home to both the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Bulls. ...

As originally built, the park was criticized by many fans.^{[citation needed]} To avoid overhang problems that were present in many stadiums built in the modern era, the upper deck was set back over the lower deck. However, this created one of the highest upper decks in baseball such as Yankee Stadium. The first row of seats in the upper deck at the new stadium is farther from the field than the highest row of seats in the upper deck at the old stadium. The new park's roof was much smaller than the old park's roof, and didn't completely cover the upper deck. Mike Veeck, son of the former White Sox' owner Bill Veeck, once said, "It had everything but a soul."^[1] This page is about the stadium the New York Yankees currently play in. ...

In response to fan complaints, the stadium has undergone numerous renovations since the 2001 season in order to retrofit the facility to current architectural trends. These new features have included building a multi-tiered concourse beyond center field, adjusting the fences to make the outfield less symmetrical and, most significantly, the removal of 6,600 seats at the top of the upper deck.

The uppermost story of the park now has a white and black screen behind the top row of seats and is topped by a flat canopy roof supported by poles that obstruct the view of a few seats. To give the park a "retro" feel the roof has black steel truss supports. The original blue seats were also replaced by forest green seats. The new green and black color scheme, upper level screen set back from the outer wall and canopy roof resembles the old Comiskey Park as well as other classic baseball stadiums. The White Sox have also added murals to the interior concourses, a prominent feature of the old stadium. This article is about the original Comiskey Park. ...

The stadium houses 84 luxury suites located on two levels, as well as thousands of "club seats" on 300-level mezzanine between the lower deck and upper deck. The club seats receive in-seat wait-staff and benefit from an enclosed concourse with multiple television viewing areas and bar-style concessions.

Trivia

• Although the most of the blue seats have been replaced with green seats, two blue seats remain in the outfield. One is in the left field section (section 159), while the other is in right-center (section 101).

• Major League Soccer team Chicago Fire were offered one of the adjacent parking lots by the city of Chicago to build their proposed 20,000 seater soccer stadium on the condition that the team funded the project themselves without any money from the city.^{[citation needed]} Although the deal would have made the team the first absolute owners of a stadium in North American soccer it proved too costly and Fire located to their Toyota Park home in Bridgeview instead. Ironically, the Fire considered using the park as a temporary home while Soldier Field was being renovated.^{[citation needed]}
• In September 2004, the Florida Marlins, who were already in town playing the Cubs, used the stadium for two games against the Montreal Expos while Hurricane Ivan hit Florida.
