FIFY

Glad the arrow is still pointing down.

Hate Field is gonna be a good time next year.

I prefer iRate field

Five more years of "Rate"! Why didn't they rebrand to something smart like "The Winners"? It's just good marketing. I would probably buy insurance (or whatever they sell, I haven't figured it out) from "The Winners". They might change their logo to a thumbs up too. Still sad Wintrust didn't win the bid. Like Rate, I don't totally know what they do, but the name inspires confidence.

When people said “GRF” they knew what they meant but now that’d be RF which …is confusing

Or "rate" Dominic Fletcher in RF?

The closest thing Jerry will get to a new stadium short of paying for it himself.  

They should've taken Wintrust offer. I think Wintrust was going to make it Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park or something like that. I'd be fine calling it Wintrust. This is just dumb

Was that ever confirmed? 

Finally a new ballpark. The name was supposed to be Second Rate

That's what I was told by a front office executive. 

A shitty corporate name somehow just got worse.

How about Taxpayer Field at Comiskey Park for the new one? I'm warming up to y'all in Illinois buying my favorite team a new stadium. Hell, increase the hotel tax to pay for it. 







Joking.

Sin taxes are the way to go.....$19,200 per carton of cigarettes should be a good start.

If the name is supposed to reflect the product on the field, Jerry's team is a far cry from being second rate.  If we're lucky, the team will improve enough in 2025 or 2026 to be considered second rate, but that would require a huge improvement.

To be fair, you could call a vast majority of MLB and NFL stadiums "Taxpayer Field".  Maybe some day people in every city and state will finally say no to taxpayer handouts to billionaire owners who just keep getting richer.  

Ohhh, so this is the way they are finally going to find a RF....

Is it just me or is "Rate" a stupid name for a mortgage company?

Yes, the guys on The Score were saying this as well.  Why not just make the full company name “Rate.com”?  That way you are at least advertising your site, even if it is obvious.

I think they should have changed their name to Great Rate.

Great Rate Field has a nice ring to it.
