 White Sox-Cubs rivalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time the White Sox came to town, the Cubs' home field was West Side Park, in an older section of the city which is now the realm of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks.
The recent (2005) success of the White Sox, coupled with age-related problems with Wrigley, and the presumed expiration of the lease in 2013, raise the possibility of a "me too" situation on the North Side eventually, in yet another chapter of the "facilities" side of the rivalry.
The Chicago Cubs of the National League play their home games at Wrigley Field located on the city's north side, while the Chicago White Sox of the American League play their home games at U.S. Cellular Field on the city's south side.

The city's biggest White Sox fan, Mayor Richard Daley, called upon Cubs fans this week, urging them to root for the South Side team who showed their support for the North Side in 2003 when the Cubs came within five outs from advancing to the World Series before losing to the Florida Marlins.
