Molto Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 I really don't mind this deal much. Sure it was called Comiskey for all this time, but who really cares about a name if the park isn't nice enough for people to go? They now have $58 million, even though it is accross 23 years, to fix this park up. I'm looking foward to seeing the changes they will make next season, if they haven't already done it already.

Chisoxfn Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 It should be a sweet deal, but I'd like to see it named US Cellular Presents Comiskey Park or something along those lines. JR said he will still use the Comiskey name somehow, so that will be interesting to be seen. Its good if they make the stadium look like it did in those photos that came up a month or two ago.

Molto Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 well, they have $58 million. that is about $2 million a year. obviously that isn't a lot, but I assume they will use a lot of that money up front through a loan or extra money they have, and just collect the cash year-by-year after. I don't know if they will do what that site had in mind, but it would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycchisoxfan Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Its cool that were getting a large sum of money for the stadium naming, but, i wish we could avoid going to a park named after a cell phone company ..it just doesnt sound right.. even though the new comiskey never had the charm of the old one...i find it a nice stadium as long as you are at field level... I just wish that they would call it Comiskey Park still, i am going to continue to do so. GO GO SOX! LETS BREAK 85 YEARS OF MISERY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 that is it. Maybe a name change will change this teams fortunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I like the name of Qualcom. Its kind of catchy, US Cellular is long, but in time I may get used to it. Mario...I like your thinking, new name, new team, new fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I think the name will grow on me. Especially if the Sox make some history there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 US Cellular Field at Comiskey Park would be cool but i doubt they will do that, but in time it will be known as USC Field heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Well, first, nycchisoxfa, I think Ill be the first to welcome you aboard and I hope you enjoy it here. Now, I just wanted to know what theyd do to replace the name Comiskey. Im not sure where it says Comiskey Park on the outside but I do know its on the jumbotron. So what will go there instead? As I posted at mlb, I think the money will help with renovations but Im kinda dissappointed to see all the history of the parks name go away. Comiskey Park was a piece of history that commemorated a man from 90 years ago, even tho the park itself was only ten years old. Not its a new park with a new name, no history whatsoever. But like I said at mlb, I guess its better to have a nice park with a crappy name rather than a crappy park with a nice name (which is Wrigley Field, if you would like to call that a nice name, it is atleast historical)...

Mr. Showtime Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Now, I just wanted to know what theyd do to replace the name Comiskey. Im not sure where it says Comiskey Park on the outside but I do know its on the jumbotron. So what will go there instead? They'll just add US Cellular to the center field scoreboard. Right in the middle is where it says "Comiskey Park". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
