Great pictures of old Yankee Stadium

Thanks to ABS for sending me this link to old photos of NYC in the 1970s.

This one is Old Yankee Stadium pre-renovation.  The new fake place does look similar, although the uppers look much closer to me in this shot.

There’s more shots of Yankee in there, plus a few of Shea.  Good stuff.

In The Shadow Of Yankee Stadium, An Off Year (Times)

Catching up on stuff from last week…I thought this was interesting.

Published: November 4, 2009
Businesses near the team’s new stadium say they have not shared in the team’s success this season.

Pictures From Yankee Stadium At Game 1 Of The World Series (Part 2)

One of the nice things about my trip to Fake New Yankee Stadium is that my seat had a TV above me…and I was able to capture a picture of Scoreboard Tara.  Tara does some pre-game stuff and well I’m not sure exactly how she got the gig.

Mrs. Mets Police’s pink camera doesn’t zoom too well…somewhere in there are Yogi and Michelle Obama.  The Yankees are the best at ceremonies.  Remember the 2008 Shea Opener’s high school band?

This one is a little sharper.   Nice seats, right?

This is outside on 161st at the unimpressive Babe Ruth plaza.   The Babe deserves better.

Pictures From Yankee Stadium At Game 1 Of The World Series (Part 1)

I went to Game 1 of the World Series…got super-lucky on Ticketmaster and got in for face value!

My seat was nearby this Sushi stand.   Really?

Instead I went over here…but blew this off and went to Nathans.  I’d like to thank the mayor for posting calorie counts….I was going to get an order of fries until I saw the 1200+ calories count..which by the way is like getting 6 hot dogs.

I got a beer (small $6) and a dog and still got darn close to $10.  Sheesh.

That’s Mrs. Mets Police’s pink camera in case you are wondering.

And here’s the view from my seat (behind the handicapped area, not in it – we’ll get into that tomorrow).

Yankee Stadium (Real) Deomolition Pictures

Poor real Yankee Stadium.  I feel bad for the place.

Game 1 of the World Series and they have the old place draped in black.  Hidden.  If there’s another Yankee home game look at how Fox shoots it from the blimp – it’s as it if were never there.

I enjoy this more than I should.  Look where the ownership is registered.
