Goodbye Yankee Stadium!!!
Aug 27^th, 2008 at 9:02pm

For my buddy Glencar.....It's been great knowing the place. Only 13 more games left...As I write this, Sox are now up 11-2, in their next to last game at the Stadium...The Sox really should have closed the place out at the end of the year, instead of the Royals of all people. Glenny, really, I've been there over eight times, I did like the place. Geez, does Joe Girardi look tense, will he usher in the new place?....Will Liza sing often?..........Developing...as they say....

Thanks Nelly but I wish the vermin had stayed off this thread! I was just telling a good friend last night how it's really a bit of sacrilege to tear down the House That Ruth Built. It was only renovated 3 decades back & it really still was a beautiful place. I'm not able to go to any games but I am going to the last weekend at Shea which they're also tearing down. I was actually at Fenway back in the 80's (before all that faggy "Red Sox Nation BS!) & it would have been a shame to do a teardown on that too. Or Wrigley. Or MSG...

Yeah, Yankee Stadium coming down just doesn't seem right.

Credit Red Sox ownership for polishing up that jewel rather than forsaking it for another coupla thousand seats.

Shea, on the other hand, is a generic 60's multi-purpose dump that needed to go.

Went to MSG recently and was surprised at how run down it's gotten.
That Cablevision funded renovation can't happen soon enough...

RIP Yankee Stadium
Reply #21 - Sep 21^st, 2008 at 10:44pm

even as a lifelong yankee hater, i cannot help but feel a tremendous sense of loss at the end of this stadium. the thought that it will be reduced to a parking garage makes me feel a bit....

Puke all over me (wait that is BLEED)

i regret never having had the chance to see it. more history there than in any other venue in sports history...by far...nothing even close.

wrigley and fenway....the only two left standing....
