I think they plan on making look like the original. I made a post about a while back, let me find it.

Well that sucks.

Why even build a new park?

Tell them to build a new one in Toronto so we can blow up the Skydome.

There are a few reason, one being they want luxury seats which the old one I think doesn't have. The infrastructure is not a strong, the bathrooms are horrible and the concession stands need upgrading.

As far as the field.....it's perfect. The dimensions should be kept the same. It has a certain character about it.

Now Shea stadium is one ugly park.

You don't like the bowl?

what part of NY do they plan on building the new stadium in?

**min0 lee** · 07-10-2007, 10:26 AM

Both stadiums are being built close to each other, I think no more than two or three city blocks.

**oaktownboy** · 07-10-2007, 10:37 AM

both? the Yanks are getting more than 1 stadium?

The Yankees and Mets are both getting new stadiums, it's sad but the Mets don't get as much publicity them damn Yankees.

**tucker01** · 07-10-2007, 11:25 AM

Yankee stadium is getting built right across the road is it not?

Yes, it's within walking distance.

I'm surprised that soxmuscle didn't post this, but Boston's Jon Lester made his comeback from cancer to pitch in the big leagues Monday night. The result didn't please me as a Yankee fan, but you've got to admire someone who goes through something like this.

Can you imagine getting out of there on a night where both teams were playing? That's going to be brutal.

His wish was for people to treat him like a normal person. His wish was my command... or something like that.

The new Yankee stadium is being built close to the original, Shea Staduim is a few miles away from Yankee Staduim.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Got it.

That stadium does look phenomenal. I got to get out to New York before Yankee Stadium II is donezo.

**tucker01** · 07-26-2007, 06:59 AM

Next year is your last year. The new stadium is meant to be ready '09

**min0 lee** · 07-26-2007, 03:37 PM

If you can, try to get tickets to the All-star game.
The MLB way of saying "Thanks for the memories"

**soxmuscle** · 07-26-2007, 05:28 PM

I feel like the All-Star game in NY will be like the Super Bowl where only corporate sponsors get the oppurtunity to go.

I'd rather wear my Manny jersey and be heckled by fans at a Sox/Yankee game.

That is so true, those would definitly be hard tickets to get.
Can you imagine all of the oldtimers showing up to say goodbye to the old staduim?
I figure I'd give you guys a heads up.

As Labor Day approaches, the baseball season enters the final stretch. Quite a few teams are still alive.

In the AL, there are 6 teams fighting for the 4 playoff places, with each division having a 2 team race, and the 1st place teams having a 6 or 7 game lead (loss column is what matters).

It's even better in the NL, with each division having at least 3 teams fighting for 1st place, a total of 10 teams still in the running. The leads are from 1 to 4 games.

It's going to be an interesting September.
