Lets face it, after millions of dollars of renovations and a re-naming, Comiskey Park/U.S. Cellular Field is still only a mediocre (at best) place to see a ball game.
It's not going to get better with age. It's not going to gain character. Its soul-less aura isn't going away no matter how many seats are eliminated or how many new "attractions" are added. It's really only a matter of time before it gets torn down.
What with all the truly great architectural gifts this city has been given of late (Millennium Park, Fordham Spire...), and now the impetus of the first White Sox World Series win in 88 years behind them—now, more than ever would be the perfect opportunity to strike, and to give Sox fans and residents of Chicago everywhere a structure they can proud of. Something they can grow old with and be proud to bring their grandchildren to decades from now.
My only specific suggestion: build it so that home plate is over the location of old Comiskey Park's. It would be a great touch.  > |
