'''Rate Field''' is a [[baseball]] [[stadium|park]] in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. It is the home field of the [[Major League Baseball]] team called the [[Chicago White Sox]]. It opened in 1991, replacing historic [[Comiskey Park]]. Before [[U.S. Cellular]], a [[Mobile phone|wireless telephone]] carrier, bought [[naming rights]] in 2003, with the stadium then being renamed '''U.S. Cellular Field''', the [[ballpark]] was known as '''New Comiskey Park''' (or just "Comiskey Park"), in honor of the old park. 

The stadium name lost most of its value in Chicago after the company sold its local network to [[Sprint Corporation|Sprint]] in 2012. During the 2016 MLB season, the White Sox made a new deal with Chicago-based mortgage lender Guaranteed Rate. The stadium name officially changed on November 1 of that year.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ecker|first=Danny|title=White Sox home gets a new name: Guaranteed Rate Field|url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160824/BLOGS04/160829927/white-sox-home-gets-a-new-name-guaranteed-rate-field|publisher=Crain's Chicago Business|date=August 24, 2016|accessdate=August 25, 2016}}</ref> In late 2024, Guaranteed Rate changed its name to Rate, and the ballpark name was changed that December 18.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/rate-and-white-sox-announce-rebrand-of-stadium-now-rate-field |title=Rate, White Sox announce rebrand of ballpark, introducing 'Rate Field' |publisher=Major League Baseball |date=December 18, 2024 |access-date=March 13, 2025}}</ref>
