Hatchetman Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I finally got used to calling it "the cell." Can we just call it Sox Park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from the worst stadium name out there though. Pretty well confirmed now. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 43s43 seconds ago #WhiteSox have naming rights deal in place. Going from US Cellular Field to Guaranteed Rate Field starting next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 US Cellular exited the Chicago market some time ago, so it was bound to change eventually. Originally those naming rights extended through 2022, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Reading the press release, doesn't seem like the organization will see much of the money. I could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well hopefully they make a lot of money and do something good with it. IIRC the last time they had a deal like this they used the money to remodel the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
