Formerly known as Comiskey Park, the new name comes with more improvements to the fan experience. In the early '90s, the Sox razed the original "baseball palace of the world" after 80 years of service and...

Its white, spider-like dome glowing against the Chicago skyline and its state-of-the-art acoustics are enough to make anyone feel a little like Luke Skywalker. Located on Navy Pier behind the ferris wheel,...
