Guaranteed Rate Field is a baseball stadium located on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It serves as the home stadium of the Chicago White Sox, one of the city's two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, and is owned by the state of Illinois through the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority. Completed at a cost of US$137 million, the park opened as Comiskey Park on April 18, 1991, taking its name from the former ballpark at which the White Sox had played since 1910.

Comiskey, Kansas
Comiskey is a ghost town in Morris County, Kansas, United States. It was located approximately east of Council Grove, next to the county line. History Comiskey was platted in 1887 and originally a whistle-stop of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. A post office existed in Comiskey from 1887 to 1929 (about 42 years). In 1910, the community had a population of 28. Following the St. Louis Browns victory in the 1886 World Series over the Chicago White Stockings, the Missouri Pacific Railroad honored several of the St. Louis players by naming some of their depots after the players. This community was named in honor of St. Louis Browns 1st baseman Charles Comiskey (later he founded Chicago White Sox and built Comiskey Park). The neighboring city of Bushong was named after Doc Bushong from the same team. Comiskey Cemetery still exists about north of the former community at southwest of the intersection of 100 Rd and U Ave. File:Comiskey Town Deed.pdf, 1887 deed for town of C ...
