Comiskey Park Gets New Name-- Part 1: (But Still and Always Will Be Comiskey to Me

Last week, we got the news that the mortgage company called Guaranteed Rate (with their downward pointing arrow) has bought the naming rights for Comiskey Park (or that other name it is now called).  This is not the first time a major Chicago place has gotten a new name (see my Cooter's History Thing blog for today).

The August 25, 2015, Chicago Tribune had readers write in their ideas for a new name for the park.

Here are some:

Sox Stadium

Harold's Chicken Shack Park

Guaranteed Seats Field

Beggars Field

Harambe Memorial Stadium

Literally Anything Else Field

Crying Jordan Park

Guaranteed Loss Field

I Don't Think You Even tried At All Field

I vote for "Guaranteed Comiskey Park (if they want their name on it).  Otherwise, just Comiskey Park or White Sox Park.
