Ain't She A Beauty?

The old Yankee Stadium was a landmark. It's one of the Big Apple's biggest tourist attractions and I myself positively got the chills every single time I went there. I felt the history of the place. Dammit, this is where so much baseball history was made! Not just Yankee players and baseball but even those from others teams and other sports.

Like any old ballpark, I could see how it was aging. The maintenance costs alone must have been staggering. And I guess it was really time to build a new one. I must admit that I wasn't too crazy about tearing down the House That Ruth Built in favor of The House That George Built. But I have to admit and I do agree with nyyankeesrumors.com (thanks for the great shots) that just seeing the new pictures of the Stadium... I wish; I totally wish I was there for Opening Day.

But check out the spacious locker room, the view from the Deegan Highway, the overhead shot where you can see the new beside the old stadium, the Grand Concourse, and the outside area. Yeahhhhhhhhhh. So cool!

Now hopefully they can keep the beer from spilling onto the new seats because it just made walking around such a bitch. But kebabs outside! Primo hotdogs with sauerkraut and Cracker Jacks! Junk food heaven.
