August 24, 20169 yr The down arrow on the Guaranteed Rate logo is perfect for this organization. Edited August 24, 20169 yr by Deadpool
August 24, 20169 yr Hahahahahahaha, is this not the worst name in MLB history? Oh my god, Guaranteed Rate Field aka Gauranteed Rate Field cause I GUARANTEE a lot of people misspell this word.
August 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Who is guaranteed rate? Mortgage company? Vegas Whorehouse.
August 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Who is guaranteed rate? Mortgage company? Yes. Sounds like a pawn shop or company that airs late night predatory loans commericals. Oh my God that logo is going to be all over our ballpark. You can't make this up. Wow.
August 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) What stadium name is worse? Globe Life Stadium All of them named after a product of some sort are all bad except Cincinnati Petco, Progressive, Safeco, Wrigley, Citi, Tropicana, Target, Rogers, PNC, Miller, Coors, Comerica, Citizens, Chase, Busch and AT & T They are all the same so what the hell difference does it make. They would be named something if the money was right. Also, I do not think the White Sox have anything to do with this as it is not their stadium as they lease it from the state of Illinois. I also financed through them and they were awesome. David Hochberg has got to be pissed.
August 24, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) Yum Center is a great name Yum Center is a great name. KFC Yum! Center isn't. QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) It also isn't home to a professional franchise in a major 4 sport. True, but I wasn't restricting to pro sports. How about the SAC Kings with Sleep Train Arena? QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) HAHAHA That's GRate! Honestly, just calling it Grate Field for short works okay.
August 24, 20169 yr Jokes have already started across the internet..."Guaranteed" mediocrity..."Guaranteed" not to make the playoffs...and the company logo (arrow pointing down is to funny for words...) I wonder if the money must go towards the upkeep of the stadium or if it can be used for other purposes and I wonder how much the deal is worth. Mark

Mark I don't think this impacts the White Sox whatsoever as they do not own the stadium.

The White Sox just got the crappiest name with an oddly appropriate logo.

August 24, 20169 yr This franchise is a f***ing joke. If I had a time machine I think I'd go back and make my father a Tigers fan or some s*** so I wouldn't have been raised on the White Sox.

I don't know man, somehow this seems like a step down. Maybe it's just the novelty and in a week it'll sound like every other corporate name. But that down arrow logo is really something. That will be bad forever.
August 24, 20169 yr Maybe people will nickname it the Grate? As in "G. Rate?" Really grasping at straws here.
August 24, 20169 yr To be fair, it's not even in the top two of most embarrassing days to be a Sox fan this season
August 24, 20169 yr Wow, this is f***ing sad. Some 3rd tier mortgage company/broker/business. Couldn't get Walgreens, a big time bank, airline, Fortune 500 co?? They end up with some shady mortgage broker??
