It was New Comiskey Part from 1991-2003, US Cellular Field from 2003 to 2016 and has been Guaranteed Rate Field since then.

They're pikers compared to the SF Giants. Their new stadium opened in 1996 as Pacific Bell Park, then it changed to SBC Park, then AT&T Park and now its Oracle Park.

That's nothing compared to the stadium the Miami Dolphins (and formerly the Marlins) play in.

And then there's Yankee Stadium. Always to be known as Yankee Stadium in name anyway. That with no names on the back of their uniforms, no hair on the face & below the collar. Pure old school class. However, IMO The "new" stadium is a ball park. Nowhere near the same feel as the original. The original one was a cathedral.

I call it Fakee Stadium. Only been there twice. And one was for a concert. The REAL Yankee Stadium is back across the street.

$$$$$

I have to say that Guaranteed Rate Field may just be the worst corporate name ever for a sports venue.

Joe Robbie Stadium (1987-1986) --> Pro Player Stadium (1996-2005) --> Dolphins Stadium (2005-2006) --> Dolphin Stadium (2006-2009)--> Landshark Stadium (2009-2010) --> Sun Life Stadium (2010-2016) --> Hard Rock Stadium (2016-)

I have attended games there when it was #1, #2 and #6.

Maybe now, Joe Giradi banned all facial hair when he managed the Yankees (I think also the year he managed the then-Florida Marlins). Apparently, Aaron Boone has relaxed the restriction. George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees just around the time that facial hair was really starting to take off in MLB. He banned beards but accepted mustaches.
