Rate Field

Rate Field on Chicago's South Side is the home of the White Sox, a modern ballpark built as the successor to the original Comiskey Park across the street. Its upper deck rises steeply above the field, a design later softened by renovations that added a scoreboard porch and lowered upper-deck seating for better sightlines. The park carries forward the White Sox's blue-collar South Side identity, distinct from the Cubs' North Side following across town. Game days draw a loyal local crowd known for its passionate, no-nonsense support of the club.

The park opened in 1991 as the new Comiskey Park, named for the original ballpark the White Sox had occupied since 1910, and has since been known as U.S. Cellular Field, Guaranteed Rate Field, and now Rate Field. It hosted the White Sox's 2005 World Series championship, a sweep of the Houston Astros that ended an 88-year title drought for the franchise. Renovations throughout the 2000s reshaped the outfield and upper deck to modernize the fan experience while preserving the park's South Side character.
