August 24, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) That is insanely bad LOL yeah it is. Far from the worst stadium name out there though. Pretty well confirmed now. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 43s43 seconds ago #WhiteSox have naming rights deal in place. Going from US Cellular Field to Guaranteed Rate Field starting next season.
August 24, 20169 yr Author US Cellular exited the Chicago market some time ago, so it was bound to change eventually. Originally those naming rights extended through 2022, I believe.

August 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) I'm at a loss for words. Absolutely embarrassing name. I understand money talks but holy s*** you would think they would sound the damn name out before they agreed. Pathetic.
August 24, 20169 yr Reading the press release, doesn't seem like the organization will see much of the money. I could be wrong though
August 24, 20169 yr Well hopefully they make a lot of money and do something good with it. IIRC the last time they had a deal like this they used the money to remodel the park.

August 24, 20169 yr Here is the White Sox release. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/7685473...%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

August 24, 20169 yr It makes it sound like people are getting a great deal lol well kind of are with cheap tickets lol
August 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) It also isn't home to a professional franchise in a major 4 sport. Smoothie King Center This is pretty atrocious.
