I think its crappy to name the stadium after a cell phone company. Takes away something traditional from Chicago.

I am more concerned about renaming the park from Comiskey to Komisky.

It'll be interesting to see how long the Cubs/Ricketts can resist the pressure to sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field. They're already one step down that road with the "Bud Light Bleachers."

What would you White Sox fans recommend?
Or you can go to Goldstarevents.com where they are selling White Sox tickets for 50% off and pay closer to $14.

The difference between Wrigley and Comiskey just lessened a bit.

Most South Siders and Sox fans that I know still call it Sox Park or Comiskey Park.

Default umm

Charles Comiskey was a mediocre owner hated by many fans and virtually all of his players. Oh and I will have to re-check my sticks of Juicy Fruit but I am pretty sure Wrigley is a Corporation. That being said, US Cellular seems to have it's name stamped on several venues across the country but I don't know a single person with a US Cellular phone.

What does Wrigley's name have anything to do with this thread? Go root for a team that hasn't won in over 100 years.

"I think its crappy to name the stadium after a cell phone company. Takes away something traditional from Chicago."

I was responding to the above comment by showing that Wrigley Field is also named after a corporation. I am not sure how you can decide where my baseball loyalties lie based on the previous post. That being said, I am a die hard sox fan. you, on the other hand, remind of the kind of Sox fan that is more concerned with the Cubs then the sox.
