* Although the most of the blue seats have been replaced with green seats, two blue seats remain in the outfield.  One is in the left field section, while the other is in right-center.  The seats are the very seats where [[Paul Konerko]]'s grand-slam and [[Scott Podsednik]]'s walk-off home run from the [[2005 World Series]] landed.<ref>[http://www.post-trib.com/sports/320154,sox.article]</ref>
* Notoriously located near the former sites of the [[Robert Taylor Homes]] and [[Stateway Gardens]] housing projects, at one time one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in the United States.
* Since the name change, local radio host, [[Steve Dahl]], has called US Cellular Field "The Joan" in honor of Joan Cusack in the TV commercials for the company.  The name is often used{{Fact|date=November 2007}}.
*[[Major League Soccer]] team [[Chicago Fire (soccer)|Chicago Fire]] were offered one of the adjacent parking lots by the city of Chicago to build their proposed 20,000 seater soccer stadium on the condition that the team funded the project themselves without any money from the city. Although the deal would have made the team the first absolute owners of a stadium in North American soccer it proved too costly and Fire located to their [[Toyota Park]] home in [[Bridgeview]] instead.Ironically, the Fire considered using the park as a temporary home while [[Soldier Field]] was being remodeld.
* In September 2004, the [[Florida Marlins]], who were already in town playing the Cubs, used the stadium for two games against the [[Montreal Expos]] while [[Hurricane Ivan]] hit Florida.
