Talk:Guaranteed Rate Field

message: The ratings section is pointless.  It has one rating, and absolutely no context on what it means or why we should care about that rating.  It is nothing but an unhelpful and unsubstantiated factoid, and at most it belongs in a trivia section.  I've re-removed it, and it shouldn't be readded unless it can be readded in a way that improves the article.  It doesn't now. —Cleared as filed. 15:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Although pointless, it should be noted that ESPN named Comiskey to be one of the worst ballparks in the nation :p  --ShadowJester07 02:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This ESPN article is from 2003, prior to many of the changes that have been made in the stadium, making it a far better place that it was 3 years ago --rogerd 05:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: An excellent point, and grounds for zapping all 30 of them on the various ballpark pages. Not only are they subjective, they are significantly out of date. Wahkeenah 06:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Who calls it 'The Cell'? I don't know of anyone who calls it that... hell, we still call it Comiskey in Chicagoland, including staff at Comiskey... Ameise -- chat 13:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Definitely, the Cell is one of it's most popular nicknames.  I just added "Sox Park," since that's one of it's more popular nicknames as well.  As we've moved past the sale of the naming rights (and the fact that the White Sox won a World Series there and hosted an All-Star Game), only the lamest of the lame still refer to it as "Comiskey Park."  Get over it, already!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.85.173 (talk) 07:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Updated picture anyone?  The stadium really does look a lot nicer in my opinion with all the green seats.  Anyone who has been to a game this year would likely agree.  Much more classic look.
New picture added. IvoShandor 11:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Maybe it would be a good idea to provide some older pictures of Comiskey Park, before the extensive renovations, to demonstrate how much the park has been improved. 64.201.77.207 16:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:USCellularFieldLogo150.PNG

message: There is an inconsistency in the number of wins in the 2008 season.  In the "White Sox Record at Home" section it is listed as 89 wins.  In "Attendance" it is 88 wins.  I'd fix it, but neither of these has citations.  Can someone more interested in this page resolve the problem?--Silpion (talk) 21:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Any pictures from 2009 of the stadium to add and replace the main one from 2007?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.4.29 (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  picture 

message: I put together a photograph showing changes of the front facade. I did not upload it because:
*I can't, I'm an IP
*The second photograph has not had copyrights secured. It is from deadballbaseball.com and I think it would be best to ask the owner for permission to use this photograph. Because there might be some parts of the policy I don't know about (such as the specific license), I haven't sent any emails, but if someone would like to ask for permission (then, perhaps upload it), I would appreciate it.
Here it is, I hope nothing bad will happen just for posting it on imageshack.
Now, onto the real photo. Here are some changes you'll notice:
*The large concrete deck has been replaced with a smaller steel and glass deck.
*The temporary-looking (so it must be 2003) banner showing the name has been replaced with a more permanent engraving.
*Stars have been painted on the central window.
*How about those telephone wires right in front of the structure?
The upper deck looks smaller, and in 2004 the upper deck was decreased in capacity, so the renovations that led to these changes must have been in 2004. --67.180.161.183(talk)05:07, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Undid recent anonymous edit "Also the Cubs and the Chicago Rockets."
It may or may not be notable, but it needs rewriting, a reference, and it probably does not belong in the lede. On a hunch, it torns out this IP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.13.37.92) is making a number of similar edits on various ballpark sites of similar qualityTjoeC (talk) 03:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The sources indicate the name change to Guaranteed Rate Field will occur at the conclusion of the 2016 season. The move of this page shouldn't happen before then. All secondary sources are still referring to the park by the U.S. Cellular name (including the White Sox own website) and the signage is still in place. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:23, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree It's not suppose to occur until November 1, 2016 according to the press release.  Why are we jumping the gun?
