Add Guaranteed Rate Field to the list of stadiums that reduced its original pitcher-friendly dimensions. Unlike Comerica Park, Citi Field, and Petco Park, the decision did not seem to be about creating more offense, but rather more seats. 'New Comiskey' (as it was originally called), hosted its first White Sox game in 1991, and after the right and left-field fences were brought in by 12 feet in 2001, more rows of bleachers were added in place of the original warning track.

After the renovations, the park ended up with the smallest outfield in MLB (it now ranks 2nd behind Citizens Bank Park). It measures fairly standard down the lines (330 in left, 335 in right) but the fences on each side take a notably horizontal path across the field resulting in tighter-than-average dimensions at nearly every point along the perimeter.

Ballpark Pal rates Guaranteed Rate 10th most favorable in the league for home runs. A main reason why it doesn't rank higher has to do with the weather. Average temperature is 68 degrees (28th in MLB) and 21% of games are played below 60. Additionally the wind blows in (42%) more often than it blows out (23%). These factors contribute to a below average carry distance (20th in MLB).

Although Guaranteed Rate Field varies a decent amount from day to day, it's nowhere close to its North Side counterpart. The main difference has to do with the architecture. While Wrigley Field is far and away the most receptive venue to wind in MLB, Guaranteed Rate merely ranks 6th for wind effect. It's easy to see why as the South Side park is hemmed in by tall, vertical decks and a wall of billboards past the outfield fence. This is in stark contrast to Wrigley's open-air style which invites the strong Chicago gusts onto the playing field. Overall, Ballpark Pal rates Guaranteed Rate Field 13th for park variation.
