BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Take me out to Yankee Stadium



















A granite and limestone exterior.
A conference area with video-conferencing.
51 luxury suites. 2 large outdoor suites. 8 party suites for 410 people.
A 58x103 foot centerfield television that is six times larger than the current one.
Restaurants and watering holes.
All for 53,000 fans to pack it in.
At the cost of $1.3 billion.

Now all we need is a championship.
