TallBill · Feb 6, 2003

Ugh.. Sox owner jerry reinsdorf just sold the name to comisky park to us cellular for 68 million bucks. The park will now be known as "cell phone park" thats the dumbest name out there!

Apparently the official name is Us Cellular park 😛

Might as well as they usually just call in for every game as it is!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I thought the state owned the park. WTF How many stadiums are left with their orginal names? Atleast it won't share the name of the old ball park which was ten times better then the new one.

Long live Comisky Park!

"Cell Phone Park"? That's just awful.

Edit: "US Cellular Park" isn't much better.

LMAO! How could you think it would be "cell Phone park"? Don't you think they'd want a little corporate recognition?

Could be worse....at least the local NFL team doesn't play all of its home games in a college stadium...ever since moving YEARS ago.
