Goodbye Yankee Stadium
You would expect the lifelong Yankee hater in me to be upset that the 2008 All -Star Game will be hosted at Yankee Stadium, not Shea Stadium. I am not. The game should be played at Yankee Stadium because of all the history there. I have mixed feelings on knocking down Yankee Stadium. As a New Yorker I want the best facilities for the sporting events. I am jealous of all the other new stadiums that have been built over the last 15 years. But as a baseball fan, it is the House the Ruth Built, it should not be knocked down.
Shea Stadium is a horrible stadium and I am counting down the days until it is knocked down. I am convinced that the Mets can’t win a World Series in that stadium-they just need a new one. As the Tank said, I will be throwing a party the day it is demolished. In honor of Yankee Stadium’s last days and to celebrate Shea Stadium’s death, I plan on actually stepping foot inside Yankee Stadium in 2008. It will be the first stadium of my cross country road trip to visit them all. (We will see how many I actually get to, but Yankee will be first on my trip and Shea will be last.) Stay tuned to the blog to find out more about Steve and The Tank’s tour. (The Tank will not go to all of the stadiums since he has a day job.)
