As I’ve been saying……now said by Wallace Matthews in Newsday.
..it makes you wonder if, when the Yankees moved across the street, they left more than just an old ballpark behind.
The old Stadium was a vibrant, rowdy, sometimes dangerous but always living place where baseball was the primary language spoken, Here, it seems sterile, corporate and frighteningly devoid of buzz. And if you can’t feel the buzz during the honeymoon, when will you feel it?
It doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season, because if you’re not feeling the mojo now, you probably never will. Sure, the place will sell out when the Red Sox or Mets are in the house, but for the first time in many years, get used to the place being half-full, or if the Yankees ever fall out of contention, a lot less than that.
You know, they probably could get Old Yankee Stadium back in shape within a month. I don’t suppose the Yankees want to move back home after the All-Star break? Just sayin’
Let’s ask the Yankees fans. I know it will never happen…but would you rather they move back?
