COMISKEY PARK CHICAGO, ILLINOIS comiskey park COMISKEY PARK OWNER Illinois Sports Facilities Authority | LOCATION Chicago, IL | FACILITY TYPE Baseball stadium PROJECT BACKGROUND Old Comiskey Park, located on the south side of Chicago, served as the home for the Chicago White Sox from 1910–1990. In 1989, the construction of the new Comiskey Park began directly across the street and was completed in 1991. By 2000, the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority decided to enhance the new park to be more fan-friendly by adding more seats, bringing seating closer to the field, updating the club levels, and establishing a large patio area in the outfield section. The project was completed in two separate phases without disturbing any of the existing structures. For Brandenburg’s performance on this project, they were awarded the Outstanding Performance Award from Turner Construction Company, Chicago Territory. SCOPE OF WORK Removed precast walls and two rows of seats along first base and third base lines from the dugouts to the outfield wall Saw cut support beams and removed the precast concrete walls and five rows of seats along the outfield Removed and reconfigured the bull pen areas located beyond the outfield wall Removed all structures including walls, columns, and seating in center field to allow for construction of the patio section Removed the Club level concrete topping slap leaving the existing precast slab below Brandenburg® Industrial Service Company.

LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Wrigley Field 1060 W. Addison St. Preliminary Landmark recommendation approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, November 1, 2000, and revised March 6, 2003 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Alicia Mazur Berg, Commissioner Cover: An aerial view of Wrigley Field. Above: Wrigley Field is located in the Lake View community area on Chicago’s North Side. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Wrigley Field 1060 W.

Jammen Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on August 1, 1997 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate Development ABSTRACT Spending on baseball facility development in the 1990's will likely exceed $2.5 billion. Historically, funding for these facilities has come from the public sector. However, the trend is shifting toward a portion, if not all, of the costs being funded by the private sector. I believe that this financing shift has implications for the design and siting of the facility as well as surrounding real estate activity and values.

They're Gone a Decade, but Vince Lloyd's, Red Mottlow's Voices Remind of Eternal Friendships
They’re gone a decade, but Vince Lloyd’s, Red Mottlow’s voices remind of eternal friendships By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Both great men are gone nearly 10 years. But I still consider them my friends, present tense, because I still hear their distinctive voices loud and clear, whether in memories of being on the air, offering wise counsel or only skimming the top of their encyclopedia of stories and ex- periences. I’ve got to keep their memory alive, because gen- erations who never heard them or knew them de- serve the benefit of their output as men and all- time sportscasters. Vince Lloyd and Red Mottlow had great influence on me growing up. As I got to know them closely as their senior-citizen days ap- proached and progressed, my only regret – a big Red Mottlow pounding away at his type- one -- is not getting more decades with them in writer with some of his broadcast corporeal form. awards on the wall behind him. Longtime baseball announcer Lloyd should be a recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, honoring a great voice of the game. Pioneering radio sports reporter Mottlow should have gotten his shot on the air at WGN. Subtracting these goals doesn’t take a shred away from their lifetime achievements. There was Lloyd’s rich baritone, hardly cracking when he bellowed “Holy Mackeral!” for a Cubs homer, intersecting with Mottlow’s staccato, rapid-fire “Red Mottlow, WCFL Sports” on mid-20th Century 50,000-watt Chicago-originated frequencies. There were kind, encouraging words amid the most political of businesses – sports media -- where negativity and a childish caste system still rule.

Harry's Diary' Elusive Missing Link to Black Sox Scandal
‘Harry’s Diary’ elusive missing link to Black Sox Scandal By Dr. David Fletcher and Paul Duffy Posted Friday, Dec. 28 One of the most significant documents regarding the Black Sox Scandal is “Harry’s Diary.” “Harry’s Diary” is a collection of two ledger and legal pads written by Harry Grabiner, Charles Comiskey’s longtime loyal confidant who served as the White Sox's General Manager from 1915- 1945. Even in partial form with key elements missing, “Harry’s Diary” is a telling and chronological insider’s outline of the events surrounding the initial investiga- tion by Comiskey of the fixing of the 1919 World Series and the events after the fix was exposed in September 1920. Grabiner (1890-1948) had been with the White Sox since 1905, when he started selling scorecards at the old 39th Street Grounds. He left the White Sox in 1946 to join Bill Veeck in Cleveland and died in October 1948. Along with chronological diary journal notations, the “Harry’s Diary” documents also included the 1918 and 1920 White Sox Team Salary List and the Player’s League Constitution and By-Laws1; the 1919 salary list was missing. Harry Grabiner later in life at Wrigley Scintillating excerpts were published by Bill Veeck and Field in the 1940s. Ed Linn in their 1965 book The Hustler’s Handbook (G.P. Putnam.) But an original copy of “Harry’s Diary” does not exist for baseball historians to view and try to make more sense of the Black Sox Scandal. The Hustler’s Handbook was published after Veeck had sold the White Sox for the first time in June 1961 to go “home to die” when he believed he had brain cancer.
