No, You’re a Towel: My Thoughts On The New Yankee Stadium
 provides a little balance.  It’s a non-negative assessment, if you’d like a different persepctive than mine.

My review…I compared it to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

Sure will be interesting once more than 90,000 people have seen this thing.   Gonna be a long 75 years….
