Comiskey Park: An Example Of How Not To Build Stadiums

"In retrospect, it's clear that Comiskey suffered both from terrible timing and from spectacular misjudgment on the part of Chicago White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, who thought -- wrongly, he has publicly acknowledged -- that fans would put a premium on a modern facility with unobstructed views and wide aisles.Comiskey now stands as the last of the sterile, suburban stadiums. It was finished just a year before Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards began the wave of retro ballparks. Ironically, Comiskey's architects, HOK Sport of Kansas City, Mo., also designed Camden Yards. Before it went on to glory elsewhere, in other words, HOK made its mistakes in Chicago."
