Why Yankee Stadium Um Isn’t so Good (Deadspin)

Behold….the greatest article of all-time.

Deadspin’s Why Your Stadium Sucks: New Yankee Stadium

They even called it “Fake Yankee Stadium” (I have heard that somewhere) and everyone agrees the upper deck is awful.

New York Yankees Set Another World Series Record….

…this one for “Worst Musical Performance At A World Series Game.”

Not a fan of Mr. Z’s audio creations.

I’m still laughing at the suggestion that the Yankees have hired Jay-Z and Alicia to perform Jeter’s walkup song live at every game in 2010 and 2011. They will have a permanent stage in play in center field, like the old monuments. Unconfirmed.

Speaking of center field, how about moving Fake Monument Park. You can’t see it now. Flip it with the bullpens.

Mr. Sunshine covered the game for me last night – and enjoyed the Official Popcorn on the New York Yankees.

Jimmy Rollins Discovers The Truth About Fake New Yankee Stadium

Rollins Rips Yankee Stadium Atmosphere

Mr. Rollins is wise.

Before Game 2, Rollins said of the new stadium: “They had a legacy over there from the hallways, the monuments, everything. Here it’s brand new. It’s a different ballpark. It’s prettier, big ol’ jumbo screens everywhere. I would have to say it’s a lot different from what I would have expected it to have been.”

Philly Writers Discover The Truth About Fake New Yankee Stadium

Remember when we ripped Fake New Yankee Stadium’s Auxiliary Press Box?

Looks like

a) we were right

b) our picture is catching on.

I was thrilled to see the picture repurposed here…and read the FanFeedr blog post and the original article which adds:

After rappelling up there, it was quickly apparent that more clothing, binoculars and oxygen would be required. The freezing wind howled like a New York cabbie. The puddles of water that two days of rain had left on our chairs and tables were icing over.

Old Yankee Stadium

Some wisdom from Big League Stew!

When looking at the old place, it’s hard to refrain from yelling out “Hey wait! This is still a perfectly good ballpark! Stop!” It’s hard to resist the urge to hatch a plan to tear down that exoskeleton of destruction, truck in enough folding chairs to seat a small city and hold Game 1 there tonight. How many folks not named Steinbrenner would complain? How many of tonight’s ticket holders would actually prefer it that way?

Really good piece about how the players don’t care.
