I think this is the worst thing Steinbrenner has done as a baseball owner. Yankee stadium is a magnificent place to watch a game and should have simply been maintained and remodeled. I will never buy a ticket or attend a game at the new stadium.

BTW Wrigley is 9 years older than Yankee Stadium and only 2 years younger than Fenway so I think it qualifies as a grand old ballpark.

Status: offline 		The very first Major League game I ever went to was at Yankee stadium.  I was probably about seven and went with my dad.   I've been to many games over the years...the best seats were the corporate ones we used to get for free.  Two rows up right off of third base.  Fun times.

How much you wanna bet you'll see seats on EBay when the demolition starts?   And sod, dirt, the bases....
I'm an avowed Yankee hater, but it was a sad day for baseball, I agree.
