The "NEW" Yankee Stadium

Re: The "NEW" Yankee Stadium

Can someone explain to me how the fans sitting against the sides of the luxury suites (that make up the batter's eye) are supposed to see the other sides of the field? For instance, the people sitting on the back right side of the wall should not be able to see pretty much anything past first base, correct?

Those are about as useless of seats as the seats behind the Chevron car at AT&T Park, which are deservedly closed off.

That's why they're bleacher seats.

Supposedly 1.5 billion

Basically the same cost as this year's payroll...

Wow... I don't know what's nicer... 'New' Yankees Stadium or Nationals Park.

I hated the concessions at OLD Yankees Stadium but i'm sure that problem has been fixed at the new stadium, yeah?

I got a chance to see the new stadium when I was on jury duty at the Bronx courthouse. They did an awesome job. I love the 'retro-look' of the exterior - reminds me of the OLD OLD Yankee Stadium I remember as a kid(before the 70s renovation).

Big problem. Don't know what they were thinking.

Those seats are only $5 I think though, and they do have a bunch of tv screens on the sides of the restaurants so people can watch there. I'd imagine a lot of people who buy those seats will just walk around and maybe go to standing room areas.

Yeah, the greatest seats in all of baseball, well at the old stadium. The Yankees f'd up big time with the new place. There top fans there are the Bleacher Creatures, and what do they do, obstruct the view. Once the glass breaks in that ******** and pointless sports bar, they'll knock the piece of **** down, and put back the all black bleachers, like there should be. I gotta say, the have alot of nice amenities, but they are kinda pointless, because most fans are gunna be at hard rock and the restraunts there. You want them in the seats and making noise, not in a restraunts!!!!! They make any noise makers prohibited, which takes away a staple of the old ball park, then make monument park smaller. What they did is unbelievable. They should be ashamed. The stadium is not intimidating anymore, and it pisses me off. The ticket prices are outrageous, there even outrageous in a good economy, let alone a bad one. 1.5 billion dollars has pretty much gone to waste. Dont get me wrong, its beautiful, but this stadium is missing alot of staples which made The House that Ruth Built one of the greatest and most storied ballparks in the MLB. I dont like the new coloring at the new ballpark either. The walls should not be dark, dark, dark blue, or black. They should be light blue. Sadly, Yankees Global Enterprises has built something that there founder will be embarrased about once he sees it. George wants to win in the greatest ball park and most intimidating ballpark. Hank, Hal and Lonn better fix up the place before the boss sees it...

LOL at "The worst seat in the house." That's exactly my point... what kind of spot is that?

It's not really that bad. You can see the pitcher batter battle just fine. And you could always walk up to that big balcony right above. You have to consider that for 5 bucks you get what you pay for.
