Guaranteed Rate Field, formerly known as Comiskey Park and US Cellular Field, is a baseball stadium located on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It serves as the home stadium of the Chicago White Sox, one of the city’s two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The park opened as Comiskey Park on April 18th, 1991, taking its name from the former ballpark at which the White Sox had played since 1910. In January 2003, it was renamed U.S. Cellular Field. In 2016, Guaranteed Rate, a Chicago-based national mortgage lender, signed a 13-year naming rights agreement for the ballpark.

The nearest airport is Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), which is about 10 miles away. Unfortunately, you cannot currently fly direct into this airport from London so if you wanted to avoid multi-flight journeys the better option is to use Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), which is about 28 miles away and has several airlines flying into it directly from London.

If you are already in the US and looking to travel to/from Chicago, then you have the choice of most US domestic airlines including Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, Frontier Airlines, Jet Blue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airways and WestJet.

Guaranteed Rate Field is easily accessible via public transportation. The area is serviced by Chicago Transit Authority’s Red Line 35th/Sox stop and Green Line 35th/Bronzeville/IIT “L” stops. The Metra’s Rock Island Line also provides a close drop off at their 35th Street “Lou” Jones Station.

Another option is the 35th Street & Shields (West) bus stop which is serviced by bus routes 24 and 35 and is a 4-minute walk away from the field.

Rideshare services are also available in the area, the drop off point is in Lot A near Wentworth Ave and fans can then proceed to Gate 5 to enter.

I recommend downloading the Ballpark App to your phone as it contains a lot of Gameday information for the Ballpark you are visiting and a place to check in and record all the baseball games you have been to.
