US CELLULAR FIELD HISTORY

U.S. CELLULAR FIELD  (capacity 40,615)

Original Name -- Comiskey Park II

Chicago, Illinois

Park opened April 1991.  This was the last ballpark built before the recent wave of rero-classic stadiums.  Renovations that started in 2001 were to help make the park more fan-friendly, and less sterile.  In 2005 the White Sox captured their first World Series title since 1917.  Mark Buehrle pitched the parks first no-hitter on 4-18-2007 against Texas and White Sox slugger Jim Thome hit his 500^th career home run on 9-16-2007.
