There's more on Flickr, just click here.
Ya know, it's funny... even though I'm a Met fan, I seem to have made an impact among you Yankee fans, not just here at the Baseball Fever but in the very Yankee Stadium neighborhood itself...

You would think it would be so much easier do continue with this demolition without the outfield wall and bleachers. The only reason it's up has to be to keep photographers from seeing inside. Which leads me to believe someone has exclusive rights to these pics. Gotta be a book or dvd being made.Fake Yankee stadium Fail!

I cannot remember if it was the History Channel, National Geographic, TLC, Discovery or one of those other type of networks.

I hope he's right.. of the other things he told me he's been spot on, so I believe him.

Once the real demo starts, especially now that the '10 season is quickly approaching there will be TONS of pictures showing Yankee Stadium reduced to rubble. Sit tight.

Originally posted by StadiumGraveyard View Postno other reason? its a natural wall thats containing dust etc, in the site proper, rather than interfering with the subway/neighboorhood. What reason would they have for actually taking it down ahead of the other pieces? Its not like they can't get the heavy cranes in. Much easier to control who's entering the site with a 40 foot wall thats already in place.Fake Yankee stadium Fail!

Originally posted by Maxlugar View PostThe meticulous progress seems to say there is a lot of documentation going on that perhaps they want to keep to themselves.
I think this is so slow going and meticulous because the people in charge dont want a disaster on their hands. Taking apart Yankee Stadium is along the same lines as taking apart a suspension bridge piece by piece, except this bridge is right next to apartment buildings.
Id like to know the total tonnage of the upper deck.

Originally posted by Maxlugar View PostOh I agree. But they could still be doing their very tricky work without the outfield wall there. I guess we'll know soon enough. Maybe if they are gonna drop the upper deck, they figure the outfield wall would protect against major rubble... Either way, I do hope they are filming every aspect of this for some kind of documentary.------------------------------------------
