Highlights
Located at 333 W. 35th St. on the south side of Chicago, it's been the home of the Chicago White Sox since 1991. Its most well known feature is the exploding scoreboard, which goes off when a Sox player hits a home run. The stadium holds over 40,000 fans and was originally named New Comiskey Park before naming rights were sold in 2003. It replaced historic Comiskey Park, which was located across the street and is now a parking lot. The stadium was the first new sports venue built in Chicago since 1929.
