Side story..

As we were coming out of the stadium, there was this NYPost writer who got to us and started asking us questions and took pictures of all of us..

So ofcourse, the luckiest kid that we went with got into the paper...

sweet pics of your new stadium. looks pretty tight aside from those obstructed views. when i heard about obstructed views at the new stadium, i thought theymeant poles or something, no idea it was the walls of the restaurant. but the place looks tight regardless.

 

[mez 0ne]

Did not know the older ones were metal, you'd figure they upgrade em or something, that restaurant really sucks I feel bad for the creatures.

No there is more leg room in the Stadium...I'm pretty sure in Citi too
Old is on left....New on right


I know there is def more leg room, Citi has more leg room since there are far far less seats obviously, I'm just going based on a review I read.

I'll have to get tix to a Yankees game sometime to see it for myself.

Couple more pictures..Still waiting on my other friend to upload his pics.

Monument Park from up top

Jeet, CC, and Jorge

2 BP balls my boy caught

Yours truly on the far left (Hold the jokes for the game

)

I'm gonna be up at SUNY Albany this weekend visiting my friends, so I wont be around..Have a good weekend everyone

 

[proshares]

You go up to Albany too to drink to death?

lemme know who you know up there we might know the same people, I'm heading up during April...

Great pics Yoda, thanks for posting. I'm so pumped to go there, even though I will always remember the ballpark across the street

Looks like you had a great time though. I too like the idea of being able towalk around the entire Stadium. I used to always sit in the bleachers whenever I went to games, and it felt weird not being with the rest of the Stadium, butat the same time felt good. Crowd had to rely on us bleacher creatures, the separated fans, to get things going

. The bleachers in the NYS, on the other hand....

TBONE, that video you posted, I have the same chills watching it that I did the first time I saw it (during the last game at the Stadium last season).

"I won't miss this place, because it's inside of me."

 

[briannnnn]

TBONE, that vid still gives me chills.

They're tearing down one of the exterior walls at the old Stadium.

They aren't. I just thought I would post what I saw on Wikipedia, even though we know never to believe random Wikipedia entries.

Everyone who is going tonight (or tomorrow), have a great time, and take plenty of pictures for us.

onewearz, you weren't originally going right? How you get a hold of tickets? You best hunt down your cousin!

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I'm under a rock all day but it's still raining? I thought they said it'd be done by 3 or so. That sucks.

Hitting the post limit at 4:30 = no bueno.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Nah it's not raining right now, but it looks horrible out. Supposed to be showers on and off all day into tonight.

 

[onewearz]

I know how you feel

. I wish I was there, this place looksamazing.

Game time in a few minutes. Wang on the mound, that's my boy!

 

[bkmac]

It's already 1-0 Cubs, but Gardner threw a beauty to Posada that almost got Aaron Miles out.

 

[frankie valentino]

This is so weird. I'm watching a Yankee home game, but the backstop isn't blue?
