Pros & Cons - New Yankee Stadium and 70's renovation

[MarcianoNY]

Well, while verging on the sacrilegious, that is a pretty typical NY-area attitude towards architecture. Maybe we should just have the baseball stadium equivalent of this, which is what most of the new HOK parks remind me of:

Who cares whether most of Yankee Stadium is original or not? It's outdated! If the Roman Coliseum was so great, they would still be using that place too.

I always thought it was just poorly maintained. I mean fenway still looks great and its just as old.

Architecturally, the current Yankee Stadium shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the Roman Coliseum. There's not much architecture there left to salvage, it's way past its useful life, and the time has come to say thank you and move on.

I'm from the area. they're the default home team for me so i'll always root for them. i'm not a bandwagon front-runner like some others.

But here's a question, if the torre-era dynasty never happened, and the winning tradition was never restored, do people keep making a fuss over saving the old stadium? granted, the yankees' revenue situation might've been a lot different, but do you still campaign to save it as strongly as you do now?

i didn't know this was a board for humanitarians only...

face it. they need a new stadium.

and '23, its not the same stadium.

If you say So....Let me see....yankees82...I would guess that you were 14 in 1996 and the Yankees were begining there dynasty....The Yankees have been in the playoffs during half of your life....Who are you going to root for if they revert to the Yankee dynasty of the 1980's?

It must be wonderful to go through life with a permanent ****-eating grin on your face.

you would know, buddy

YAWN.

oh davey boy, i can always count on you for a laugh.

Glad you're amused.

I'm sure you think singing "Why Are You Gay" to anyone daring to wear a Red Sox cap in the holy bleachers is funny, too.

You're only digging the hole deeper....

[yankees82]

See what I mean, '23?

Kinda restores your faith in humanity, doesn't it? :dismay:

YAWN.

Yeah....Maybe Karma will bite him in the a$$!

[six4three]

Yeesh.

Not exactly a shining beacon, there.

you want some cheese with that whine?? cry me a river buddy. i'm there to watch the yankees, and i'd prefer to do it in a state-of-the-art stadium. 1923 YS is long gone and that was the only stadium worth saving. 1976 YS doesn't quite have the history and it's sub-par compared to today's standards.

and you can call me insensitive but i'm not here to campaign for parkland and protest carcinogenic field turf. that's someone else's fight, so spare me your BS and shove your research where the sun don't shine.

Spoken like a true gentlemen.....Hope that mouth of yours doesn't land you in jail...

You must have a future in Politics....

You should care considering you will be paying for the New Stadium....

Who ever said Yankee fans care only about themselves?
