Yankee Stadium [II]

[PadreHomer]

I'd like to see some good pictures of the concourses. I take it the great hall is separate from the seating area concourse?

It is, there are elevators, stairs, ramps, escalators and hallways leading u to the concourses.

[Coach Bombay]

Did no one take pictures the last 2 days?

I know right? I'm going to the game tomorrow i'll try to take as many as i can. I don't have an actual digital camera but i got a phone with a 5MP camera so hopefully that will do.

Well they are expensive seats

Looking forward to them, a few people said they where taking pictures and where going to post them, but never did.

Yeah, I seen those, good pictures, but I was thinking more like the museum, the concourses, the Great Hall, monument park, ect.

[peterrod16]

Well they are expensive seats

that was a big eyesore for everyone in the grandstand
those seats are $500 to $850
the yanks should discount those seats ASAP

i dont have the museum since the line was insane on the ramp.
the line for monument park was also busy
here are some pics you requested

[VAPYankees4]

I'll be sitting in the section behind the one with all the empty seats. First row behind the wall. So if u guys want any paticular shots from that seat let me know.

I was staring at the OYS replica on my desk, and had these ideas. I'm not sure if either has been discussed at all on the forums (it's likely, but I'm new here, and don't know), and whether they were ever part of the plans when designing the new stadium. Forgive the crude Photoshop pictures... I'm not exactly an expert.

The first is to add back the dirt path from the dugout to home that used to be in the old stadium. Was this removed after the renovations in the 70s, or when did they get rid of it? With the signature NY logo now behind home plate, it may look a bit odd, but who knows.



Do any other ballparks currently have this? I know a few have the line connecting the pitcher's mound and the home plate area, but don't know if any have these sort of walkup lanes.

The second idea is to add more limestone along the outside. I'm not sure if this was a budget concern, but with a price of $1.5 billion, I don't think they were too worried about costs. I think it looks nicer than how the stadium currently looks (well, my Photoshop rendition looks horrible, but if done right it'd look great). And I think it brings back a little more of the old stadium.



Here's a shot of the old stadium for comparison:

WOW, talk about a cheap home run.

Thanks peterrod16, looks great

I'm currently in the process of uploading all the pictures that I took yesterday, including all the pictures I took of Monument Park and the Yankees Museum. I have no clue how long it'll take (306 pictures totaling a size of 932MB). As soon as they're all up, I'll post the link.

WOW, talk about a cheap home run.

The past 3 homeruns hit there have been "cheap" by definition( I doubt they reach even the warning track at Citi). I guess if both teams get to hit it's fair though lol.(shrugs)

there is a CBP wind tunnel that goes directly to RF
CF is a traditional pitchers park.

Looks like that 9-run inning the Indians had the other day won't end up being the record for long. Good chance of them putting up a 10-spot here today in the 2nd.

It's still early, but if this score remains roughly the same, 3 blowouts in a week is pretty tough to watch.

Edit: Well the grand-slam will do it. 13 runs now in the 2nd inning. The ball seems to be carrying a lot. The grand slam barely cleared the wall, like most of the homeruns so far today. If this is how the ball will normally carry, games will be very frustrating to watch, because it seems like regular popups are drifting over the wall.

Edit 2: Another HR. 14 runs now in the 2nd. I have to try and laugh just to keep myself from crying.

[peterrod16]

WOW that was a cheap grandslam

or not.....

[Coach Bombay]

Sorry, but that right field wall is a problem. They need to take out a few rows because I can probably hit a home run there.

[baseballman1243]

Wow................

[bkind77]

This may become the biggest bandbox in all of MLB - especially to RF/RCF. Wow, pop ups are flying out in April, wait for the humid weather and dog days of August
