So yeah I’ve been writing about the Yankees an awful lot. It’s hard to ignore A-Rod, and for some reason way more pics of New New Yankee have leaked out than we’ve seen of C-Field.The super-solid New Stadium Insider posted about food at New Yankee Stadium yesterday (must have missed it while enjoying a beer). You can read about the food over there.
What strikes me is how drab the place looks. It looks like 1975 Coney Island. These gratings are ugly. The place looks a public high school or maybe the lobby of a housing project. Everything is just gray and more gray and cement.
Maybe it just doesn’t photograph well? Anybody reading this actually been in the new place? I want to like it…but it’s ugly.
I’ll get back on the Mets if there’s every anything to talk about. It’s been a long month with 16 guys out of camp. Where’s Bobby V to do something stupid when I need him? Come on Jerry, stab someone.

The new stadium is meant to evoke the old stadium before it was rebuilt in the seventies. I remember back in the sixties we used to say that Yankee Stadium looked like a factory. I remember going up the gray ramp and then magically the contrast of the green emerald field and the smell of fresh grass exploded the senses.
