Comiskey II was built just south of the original Comiskey, whose site is now one of the new stadium's parking lots. Like its predecessor, it has a roomy outfield and features a replica of the old park's famous exploding scoreboard first conceived by Bill Veeck. But beyond these two similarities, and the name, the two parks are radically different. Seats in the foul corners faced center field rather than the plate. Ground Rules Foul poles and screens attached are outside of playing field.
Ball reamining under or behind tarpaulin is deemed out of play.
Top step of dugout is considered in play unless ball hits equipment. The new ballpark has a concrete structure and a precast concrete facing, with prominently exposed ramps, unobstructed views, better sight lines in the corners, distant upper deck seats, and curved sides. In its heyday, the old park was bordered by neighborhood buildings, but its replacement is completely surrounded by parking lots. Inc. All rights reserved.
