White Sox Ballpark Morphs Into 'Guaranteed Rate Field'
CHICAGO (CBS) -- So long, U.S. Cellular Field. Hello, Guaranteed Rate Field.
Signage has been affixed at the ballpark briefly known as the new Comiskey Park. Coming Tuesday, the home of the Chicago White Sox will be known as Guaranteed Rate Field, under a naming-rights deal announced earlier this year.
The White Sox didn't disclose how much Guaranteed Rate paid for naming rights. For context, U.S. Cellular paid $68 million for its 20-year naming-rights deal.
The taxpayer-assisted ballpark, which replaced the old Comiskey Park on Chicago's South Side, was completed in 1991. It can hold nearly 41,000 fans.
