The ratings section is pointless. It has one rating, and absolutely no context on what it means or why we should care about that rating. It is nothing but an unhelpful and unsubstantiated factoid, and at most it belongs in a trivia section. I've re-removed it, and it shouldn't be readded unless it can be readded in a way that improves the article. It doesn't now. — Cleared as filed. 15:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Who calls it 'The Cell'? I don't know of anyone who calls it that... hell, we still call it Comiskey in Chicagoland, including staff at Comiskey... Ameise -- chat 13:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Go Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-- Arusnak 19:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
the intro is too large. Portions of it shold be put as subheadings before the renovations -- Arusnak 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Updated picture anyone? The stadium really does look a lot nicer in my opinion with all the green seats. Anyone who has been to a game this year would likely agree. Much more classic look.
New picture added. IvoShandor 11:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Why on earth would you put that gray skied picture at the top? I don't really care but the other pic was obviously better. IvoShandor 20:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Maybe it would be a good idea to provide some older pictures of Comiskey Park, before the extensive renovations, to demonstrate how much the park has been improved. 64.201.77.207 16:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:USCellularFieldLogo150.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There is an inconsistency in the number of wins in the 2008 season. In the "White Sox Record at Home" section it is listed as 89 wins. In "Attendance" it is 88 wins. I'd fix it, but neither of these has citations. Can someone more interested in this page resolve the problem?-- Silpion ( talk) 21:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Any pictures from 2009 of the stadium to add and replace the main one from 2007? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.4.29 ( talk) 05:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I put together a photograph showing changes of the front facade. I did not upload it because:
Here it is, I hope nothing bad will happen just for posting it on imageshack.
Now, onto the real photo. Here are some changes you'll notice:
The upper deck looks smaller, and in 2004 the upper deck was decreased in capacity, so the renovations that led to these changes must have been in 2004. --

Undid recent anonymous edit "Also the Cubs and the Chicago Rockets."
It may or may not be notable, but it needs rewriting, a reference, and it probably does not belong in the lede. On a hunch, it torns out this IP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.13.37.92) is making a number of similar edits on various ballpark sites of similar quality TjoeC ( talk) 03:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. DrKiernan ( talk) 17:19, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
U.S. Cellular Field → Comiskey Park – According to many sources, the sponsor deal was to last from 2003 to 2012. The deal has expired and therefore it should naturally revert to its orginal name. Rt31914 ( talk) 22:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Again, please refrain from editing others' comments. Correcting a spelling mistake is one thing, but changing the content, even in a small way, is entirely another and is never appropriate. The fact that AutomobileDealer and then a supporting anonymous editor have both edited comments posted by others is not a good sign.
Also, WP:COMMONNAME doesn't apply to simple colloquial usage of a term; it needs to have sources to back up the claim that an alternate name is widely used, more than the official name. I don't doubt that many still call it "New Comiskey" or just "Comiskey Park" (which is common for just about any facility that gets renamed), but the sources, both primary and secondary, are what determines the name of an article, and those sources overwhelmingly use the current name. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 03:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
The sources indicate the name change to Guaranteed Rate Field will occur at the conclusion of the 2016 season. The move of this page shouldn't happen before then. All secondary sources are still referring to the park by the U.S. Cellular name (including the White Sox own website) and the signage is still in place. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 05:23, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
