That is insanely bad

I finally got used to calling it "the cell." Can we just call it Sox Park?

LOL yeah it is. Far from the worst stadium name out there though.

 

Pretty well confirmed now.

#WhiteSox have naming rights deal in place. Going from US Cellular Field to Guaranteed Rate Field starting next season.

Guaranteed Rate of mediocrity, sure.

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.

I'm at a loss for words. Absolutely embarrassing name.

One letter off from guaranteed rate Field, convenient.

I understand money talks but holy s*** you would think they would sound the damn name out before they agreed. Pathetic.

Reading the press release, doesn't seem like the organization will see much of the money. I could be wrong though

Haha never saw their logo before. Fitting

God that's bad.

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.

Corporate naming leads to some awful, awful names. Guaranteed Rate is down there but I maintain it's not the worst.
