Sprint already sponsors a baseball team.

If the ballpark is renamed Sprint Field, can we also expect a revival of the "Go-Go Sox," with lots more base-stealing?

"The Cell" is a pretty good nickname for a ballpark. It'd be a shame to see that go.

If it's still named for a cell phone company, there's no reason for it to go.

Of course, there's no reason baseball fans should feel obligated to call the team by the sponsor name anyway, but I seem to be alone in that position.

I know, they could call it Comiskey Park. That is kinda catchy.

I thought it was called Sox Park

I would switch to a cell company named Veeck or Comiskey. Probably Einhorn too.

Comiskey Park was demolished to make way for this monstrosity.

Call it Union Base-Ball Grounds, and put a statue of this man out front.

It's really not bad any more. I actually think it's quite comparable to - probably just a tad better than - Comerica Park.

Ever go to old comiskey? Place was a #### hole. The current incarnation of US Cellular is a fine place to take in a game. As Eddo said, it has much better sightlines that it's much more praised neighbor, Comerica.

It was no such thing. Pee in one urinal trough and all of the sudden folks think they are in a homeless shelter.

It was a hell of a place to watch a game, the atmosphere could get extremely intense and also had a metric ton of history.

U.S. Comiskular is okay. Perfectly serviceable, but probably not better than 20th out of the current 30 parks.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Cell. Compares favorably to the new Busch and Safeco IMO. Certainly better than Comiskey unless you like old #### for the sake of being old.

The Cell sucked initially but now it is a very nice place to watch a game.

Playing it straight down the middle, I still call it Pac Bell. That and PNC might be the only new corporate names I've adopted. (Busch and Wrigley are grandfathered in of course.) I generally skip/can't remember/can't keep straight the corp entities for Seattle, Cincy, Detroit, Texas. I don't think I know San Diego's. But Pac Bell just sounded right, it being a "classic" corporate name anyway. I wish a more stately sounding corporation had sponsored Pittsburgh. I guess the BOB was OK but are they still the BOB?

But then I still make a point of calling them the Devil Rays from time to time.

But it had charm and atmosphere -- my favorite of the parks no longer with us that I saw a game in, with the possible exception of the original (1923-1973) Yankee Stadium.

Or, as half the people called it when I was growing up, Cominskey. Sounds more Polish.

Hey everyone, have I got a non-story for you: it seems a local baseball team might, just might, be changing the name of their stadium! I know! No, it probably won't happen, but can you imagine?

As long as it isn't crowded thus forcing you into crappy seats. The Cell is like the Vet in that if 18,000 people show up you can get great seats and relatively cheap but if everybody shows up and you were late in purchasing tickets you're going to sit in some crappy seats.

I think White Sox fans should get extra credit in the anti-corporate contest as we have successfully taken corporate naming rights that someone paid a ton of cash for and turned it into a term of endearment that literally means "a place they hold you after you have committed a crime".

That's pretty cool.

But then again, I also like the upper deck cause I like the walk-up crowd, and it's so fricking cheap.

That is try in the majority of ball parks IMO. Watching a game in sold out Camden is no fun.
