The Exposed Pipes, The Leaks & Unfinished Paintjobs Of New Yankee Stadium

Some curiosities from my trip to New Yankee Stadium.

Let me say I didn’t go looking for things to complain about, I just toured the stadium but knowing I have a blog I snapped a few photos I might not otherwise have snapped.

#1.  The column with the notes.  This is over by the ugly staircase to Monument Park somewhere.

#2.   This sign made us laugh.   I know what it means, but when you look at it, it’s directing you straight into a wall.   This is a good example of how ugly the ramps and staircases are.  It’s NYC public school.  What time ie class?  If only there were some photographic history of the Yankees they could tap into.

#3.  Next we have a puddle.  It seems awfully early in the New Stadium’s lifespan to have standing water.  This was on Saturday.  It didn’t rain on Saturday.  This wasn’t the only puddle.

#4.  The Pipes.  Everywhere you look there are exposed pipes and sprinkler systems.   Maybe the same is true at Citi, but I didn’t notice it.  I wasn’t looking, but I didn’t show up at New Yankee saying “man if I can get some pictures of some exposed pipes I can rock out the blog.”   Others noticed them too.   It’s ugly.

I kept thinking that these teams must hate bloggers.  You’d rarely get one the newspapers to write things like this, or about obstructed views, but they are all over the internet….and as we see with the Times, the mainstream papers read blogs and make stories out of them (and of course we bloggers use papers for inspiration).    Sorry teams, there’s obstructed views and we’re taking pictures.

There’s plenty of stuff like this out there.  We will be posting throughout the day, keep checking back or click Mets Police if this is your first time visiting to get back to the main page.
