[edit] "Ratings"
The ratings section is pointless. It has one rating, and absolutely no context on what it means or why we should care about that rating. It is nothing but an unhelpful and unsubstantiated factoid, and at most it belongs in a trivia section. I've re-removed it, and it shouldn't be readded unless it can be readded in a way that improves the article. It doesn't now. —Cleared as filed. 15:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- It isn't contextless. There is a rating for every single major league ballpark.--J3wishVulcan 15:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- Although pointless, it should be noted that ESPN named Comiskey to be one of the worst ballparks in the nation :p [1] --ShadowJester07 02:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- This ESPN article is from 2003, prior to many of the changes that have been made in the stadium, making it a far better place that it was 3 years ago --rogerd 05:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- An excellent point, and grounds for zapping all 30 of them on the various ballpark pages. Not only are they subjective, they are significantly out of date. Wahkeenah 06:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'The Cell'
Who calls it 'The Cell'? I don't know of anyone who calls it that... hell, we still call it Comiskey in Chicagoland, including staff at Comiskey... Ameise -- chat 13:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- everyone calls it the cell now
Go Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--Arusnak 19:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- Indeed, indeed. IvoShandor 05:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

- Definitely, the Cell is one of it's most popular nicknames. I just added "Sox Park," since that's one of it's more popular nicknames as well. As we've moved past the sale of the naming rights (and the fact that the White Sox won a World Series there and hosted an All-Star Game), only the lamest of the lame still refer to it as "Comiskey Park." Get over it, already! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.85.173 (talk) 07:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intro
the intro is too large. Portions of it shold be put as subheadings before the renovations --Arusnak 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Updated picture anyone? The stadium really does look a lot nicer in my opinion with all the green seats. Anyone who has been to a game this year would likely agree. Much more classic look.
New picture added. IvoShandor 11:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Why on earth would you put that gray skied picture at the top? I don't really care but the other pic was obviously better. IvoShandor 20:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

- Not only was it not good it is also extrememly outdated. Don't add it back to the top of the page please. IvoShandor 20:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comiskey through the years?
Maybe it would be a good idea to provide some older pictures of Comiskey Park, before the extensive renovations, to demonstrate how much the park has been improved. 64.201.77.207 16:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- We have the one from 05, I would encourage anyone who has older photos to upload them if they are free use. IvoShandor 20:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:USCellularFieldLogo150.PNG
Image:USCellularFieldLogo150.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
