Unfortunately, we were never who he was trying to bring into the stadium. However, we're the life blood of this team. We've all heard how quiet the stadium was throughout opening weekend. <br /><br />Tribegirl, yeah, its pretty bad. I wouldn't mind visiting some new stadiums myself. I could get much better seats to see my Yankees play. The thing is, nothing was like watching the Yankees in the South Bronx, but truthfully, this new stadium just doesn't have the same feel.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-72332327309222028432009-05-12T20:56:00.000-07:002009-05-12T20:56:00.000-07:00Lon Trost and his charming attitude have seriously...Lon Trost and his charming attitude have seriously harshed my mellow.<br /><br />I have a 11-game package, and actually am ok with my changed seat placement. <br />However, from my seats (last row in the house, directly behind home plate), you can see all of the anti-plebian features of the new stadium.<br /><br />First and most obviously is the moat.<br /><br />Second and pathetically are the three tv's on either side of the restaurant wall. They are about as big as the HDTV in my living room that I scored used off of craigslist. <br /><br />Third (and my personal pet peeve), the Terrace level cuts around the stadium in a broad circle, whereas in the old stadium there was basically a straight shot from home plate to about a third of the way into the outfield. The purpose of this is that if they put the overhang any further out, it would potentially interfere with the sightlines from the luxury boxes. The down side is that it moves the front line of the upper deck a good 10-20 feet further away and makes a few hundred extra cheap seats impossible. Another situation in which Lon Trost doesn't give a---two whits-- about you or me.Tigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006202824150319697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-15231353428124151992009-05-12T18:41:00.000-07:002009-05-12T18:41:00.000-07:00I just read this on Pete Abe's blog.

Even if that's how they REALLY feel, you don't say it out loud....the Yankee organization (not the team, just the suits) sucks and I now hate them. The new Yankee stadium is no longer on my list when I travel to NYC during baseball season. I will continue to see the Yankees in Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, and Cincinnati when they have interleague games. It would be nice to see them when I'm not in the minority fan base though...Jerk-offs!!!TribeGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101096653072676142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-6722326037270613492009-05-12T15:59:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:59:00.000-07:00the best part of this post is my brother's claim t...the best part of this post is my brother's claim that he makes better hot dogs.
