White Sox to remodel home clubhouse

White Sox players will have a revamped home base when they return to U.S. Cellular Field for the 2015 season.

The Sox will soon begin construction on remodeling the home clubhouse, the first significant renovation of the space since the ballpark opened in 1991, according to a Sox spokesman.

The remodeling project will include a larger weight room in a new location, additional meeting spaces for coaches and staff and a remodeled clubhouse space that will include new lockers.

The Sox declined to release budget details about the remodeling project, but construction is expected to start soon and be completed in March, in time for Opening Day, the spokesman said. The Sox open the 2015 season April 6 in Kansas City and host the Twins on April 10 for the home opener.

The Sox plan to release more details about the project at a later date.

We plan on showing the media the newly renovated space sometime in March as completion nears, the spokesman said.

The Sox brought a sample locker in to the clubhouse during the final week of the season. Retiring Sox captain Paul Konerko joked after the last home game that after the renovations were complete he hoped to ship his old locker and chair to his home in Arizona.

Maybe Ill just sit in front of it every day, he said.
