Description

U.S. Cellular Field a.k.a. "The Cell" or (formerly New 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 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. A few 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 stadium is situated at 35th Street and Shields Avenue in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood adjacent to the Bridgeport neighborhood. It was built in the parking lot of old Comiskey Park, which was torn down and became a parking lot for the current park. It is owned by Illinois Sports Facilities Authority. [1]
