I was responding to the above comment by showing that Wrigley Field is also named after a corporation. I am not sure how you can decide where my baseball loyalties lie based on the previous post. That being said, I am a die hard sox fan. you, on the other hand, remind of the kind of Sox fan that is more concerned with the Cubs then the sox.

Says the person who has 3 posts, lives in Wrigleyville, and has a post going after the naming of US Cellular.

YES! LOL, Sox Park. Love that place, loved the team since the days of Tommy John and Moose Skowron, always have a great time, win or lose, Comisky or Cellular. The team itself is history enough for me.

That being said, US Cellular seems to have it's name stamped on several venues across the country but I don't know a single person with a US Cellular phone.

Here's the difference: Wrigley Field is named after the Wrigley family who owned the Cubs for decades. It is not a paid corporate sponsorship.

And he brought Chicago five AL championships which is more than subsequent owners have done. Maybe Chicago baseball needs more mediocre owners.
