That's United Center. It's not like Chicago Stadium or Arena or anything of that sort.

.

Is it the old Bulls arena? The one before United Center?

Hahaha I was like 9 when they tore it down so to me, it was Bulls Arena when I was little. I never actually knew the actual name of the stadium.

Chicago Stadium 1929-1994. United Center 1994-

Are you kidding me? Know your history. Unbelievable the amount of ignorance you displayed. I'm sorry but I can't sit back after seeing that without responding.
Carry on about NYS.

Man, it's really hard to keep people on topic without new pics. Enough of the stadium/arena stuff. Please. Stop. It.

Anyway, the sign on the right side is supposed to be for the "premier" sponsor, which right now is Bank of America.

Hopefully never, unless it's a digital clock

and is that padding on the outfield wall, or are they painting the wall black?

I've seen the pics with the padding behind home plate, but I don't think I've seen any pics with padding on the wall.

if it is the padding, why is it so dark?

Whats wrong with an analog clock? I much prefer them to digital, they're much classier and look nicer. I wouldn't be caught dead with a digital watch, makes you look like you're either stuck in the 80's or a 5 year old. People should know how to tell time the old fashioned way.

and yes, that is padding, it's just dark because the sun is setting in that picture.

Most non-digital clocks dont have numbers on them. That makes it really confusing to tell the time. And there's too many hands and arms and stuff, it's just really confusing. Obviously, I failed that part of 2nd grade math, lol.

So the Yankees should dumb down their stadium for people who act like morons and pre-school kids? No thanks. Analog clock with no numbers, please.

Agreed. Most people can - and should - be able to tell the difference between say ten-AM and eleven-AM on an analog clock with perhaps just the 12, 3, 6, and 9 marked with hatches. Or one and two PM for that matter. But, this is the land of the free and home of the brave, not the land of the smart or home of the brain!

Assuming that the above post is true, and BofA is the sponsor, i have updated the photoshop....

Attack of the 40 foot tall players!!!

LMAO!! It was tough to judge how big they would end up looking... probably should have made them smaller

You seriously don't know how to tell time? Seriously, I wouldn't share that on the internet. Well, I guess you don't need to know the time to ask "for here or to go?"

For me, this by far still is the best picture I've ever seen so far of NYS, and it is the most majestic looking ballpark in baseball and probably sports.

[wagoncircler]

Hey guys. I'm new here.

I've read almost the entire thread about NYS and the one about the frieze, and I've come to the conclusion that sometimes people get way too close to something and lose sight of the forest, for the trees.

I've seen a lot of nit-picking, and I appreciate its purpose. Even its usefulness. But at the end of the day, the Yankees set out not to create a replica of OYS, but a new interpretation that honors the history and development of its predecessor(s).

I applied a few photoshop filters to someone's wonderful, recently posted photograph.

I don't care that the original stadium didn't have a limestone facade. This is better.

This is one stunning stadium.

It seems as though there is something lit up there in blue. What is that?

[jerseyyankeefan]

I think they did a great job -- yes we have found some things that are head scratchers, but it does a great job of mixing old and new into something that honors both. I have a feeling that inside, people will feel like they've somehow been there before, and at the end of the day, that's a good thing.

[coasterbill]

Lotsa luck, coaster.

The bat won't be there.

I thought that the latest news on the bat pointed to it staying in it's current location.

Damn I just noticed the "Yankee Stadium" inside the stadium lights up. Initially I didn't think it would. I can't believe I didn't pay attention to that before.
