Chicago White Sox/ U.S. Cellular Field
Like several other ballparks, by 2005 the White Sox will have expanded and
improved its field. For over 80 years the White Sox have played in Comiskey
Park, but in 2003 U.S Cellular bought the naming rights for $68 million to
rename the park to U.S. Cellular until 2023. Another $167 million was put
towards improving the park. Such enhancements include, a 15,000 square
foot softball and baseball skills instruction area above the left field
concourse, 85 luxury suites
located on two levels, as well as thousands of club seats on a mezzanine
between the lower deck and upper deck. There is a new multi-tiered batter's
eye in center field, a vertical screen behind home plate, improvements to
the main concourse, and upgrading the club level. In order to give the fans
more protection from the weather, a flat roof was installed by
demolishing eight rows of the upper deck, which eliminated 6,600 seats.
