What's at the corner of 35th and Shields?

Some recent talk about Wrigley Field and the supposed importance of the stadium itself got me thinking about the ballpark "our guys" play in. Many of us grew up going to games at Comiskey Park but suddenly find ourselves across the street at US Cellular Field. I know there's some division here, so let your voice be heard. Where do you say you're going when headed to a game?

As far as I was concerned

it was an insult to name it New Comiskey. Especially since a lot of us didn't believe the old place needed to be torn down only to be replaced with what used to be a very sterile place. When the retro parks came along it only made going there worse.

Now the park is reborn. Its the Cell. I'll probably always call it that now.

Comonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn You White Sox!
