The Modern Age Get's Baseball Too
We've seen this sort of this before. Riverfront Stadium in Cincinati became
Cynergy Field, Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego became Qualcom Park. It's just a
sign of the times. Most of the new stadiums have taken on corporately sponsored
names. In Houston, Enron Field has already become Minute Maid Park. But the
latest name change is just unacceptable: Comisky Park in Chicago will become
U.S. Cellular Field. That's ridiculous. Comisky Park is where the White Sox have
played for 91 years. Grantend they tore the origonal down and built a new one,
but when the did they named it Comisky Park after the original. I understand
that buildings, especially stadiums and the like, get old, need to be torn down,
a new one's have to be built. But to change the name of a classic ball park for
a lousy 68 million over 23 years stinks. Is Yankee Stadium going to become
Ronald McDonald Field?
