	Comiskey Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comiskey Park (35th Street and Shields Avenue, Chicago, Illinois) was the ballpark in which the Chicago White Sox played from 1910 to 1990.
		The park was built on a former city dump that Comiskey bought in 1909 to replace the wooden South Side Park.
		Comiskey Park was very modern for its time, being constructed of concrete and steel and seating 29,000, a record at the time.

		The park opened for the 1991 season, after the White Sox had spent 81 years at Comiskey Park.
		The new park, completed at a cost of $167 million, also opened with the Comiskey Park name, but became U.S. Cellular Field in 2003 after U.S. Cellular bought the naming rights at $68 million over 20 years.
		It was built in the parking lot of old Comiskey Park, which was torn down and became a parking lot for the current field.

		Comiskey Park was the exception to the rule of asymmetry in the classic stadium construction boom of the early 20th century.

		Comiskey, who himself had turned a blind eye to the rumors previously, was compelled to suspend the remaining seven players (Gandil, eventually perceived as the ringleader, the one "connected" to the gamblers, had retired after the 1919 season).
		Although designed primarily as a baseball stadium (as opposed to a "multipurpose" stadium) New Comiskey Park (redubbed U.S. Cellular Field in 2003) was built in a 1960s style similar to Dodger Stadium and Kauffman Stadium.
		(This park, originally known as "New Comiskey Park", was opened in 1991; the original Comiskey Park was in use from mid-1910 to 1990.

		The rush to build the park in time for its July 1 opening was hindered by a steel-workers’ strike, and the death of a carpenter who fell from a scaffold hours before the first game cast a pall over the Opening Day festivities.
		The thrifty Comiskey vetoed architect Zachary Taylor Davis's original (and revolutionary!) idea to build a column-free cantilever upper deck with an ornate Neoclassical facade and external landscaping, but the park's brick exterior was nevertheless graced by arched openings and Prairie School details.
		Comiskey pocketed the difference and 80 seasons of White Sox baseball were viewed between the resulting posts.

		The park is easy to get to as it is right next to the highway, but getting out seemed to be a problem.

	Biography of Charles Comiskey
		On July 1, 1910 Chicago opened Comiskey Park, which was to become the home of the White Sox for 81 years.

		Comiskey was also questioned about the finances of the White Sox team during the years surrounding the scandal.

	Chicago 101
		The old park let you feel close enough to the players to hear them cuss; the new park--whose front row seat in the upper deck was farther from the field than the last row of the old park--was a vast chasm ("like looking into a pit," one fan told the Chicago Tribune).
		But in 1987, as the state and the city fought for control of the paperwork on the project, the team started glancing seductively at the city of St. Petersburg, Florida, which was building its Suncoast Dome and needed a reason to fill it.
		The old park wasn't pretty, but when you plopped down in one of its green wooden seats, you felt close enough to the field that you could reach out and touch home plate, smell the turf, and hear what was going on when the catcher, pitcher, and manager conferred on the mound.

	Wrigley, Comiskey are worlds apart: 10/ 6/ 2005
		There is no quirky neighborhood or cottage industry that has sprung up around 'The Cell.' I have the distinct feeling the Universal Marble and Granite company has always been at their nearby spot on West 35th, and so have the shops for food machinery, auto parts, beds and everything else you have to buy somewhere.
		When you walk around the park built in 1991, you get the sense the "Winning Ugly is Sweet" shop that sells fruit and dessert fare isn't just talking about what goes on inside the walls.
		And it is. Many of the 40,000-plus who attended last night's Game 2 did like their team suggested -- parked their cars at the stadium in the morning, went to work on the train and knew the Sox would be there when they were done.
