Ballpark Visited: Yankee Stadium Submitted By: Steve Grade: B Pros of the ballpark: Interior part of the ballpark (museum, the great hall) adds a nice touch to the park, showing the rich tradition of the Yanks. The park is a good replica of the the original Yankee Stadium. Cons of the ballpark: The park segregates fans with the mote around the lower level. The seating/food prices are sickening. Upper deck was built too far from the field of play. The stadium has a cold, corporate feel rather than a ballpark feel. Additional Comments: This park was designed for corporations and the wealthy. The fans of the past who supported the Yanks through thick and thin have been forced out. The Yanks have forgotten who they are. Ballpark Visited: Yankee Stadium Submitted By: Joe M. Grade: C Pros of the ballpark: new design allows fans to walk completely around the stadium instead of the horseshoe of the old stadium. Modern amenities makes it convenient and fast to get snacks or take a quick bathroom break. The scoreboard is absolutely beautiful. Cons of the ballpark: This is nothing like the old stadium. There is something about the nostalgia and the history of the old park that you just can't replace. It was a tragedy that they moved out and should have never been allowed to happen. Additional Comments: This is coming from a Yankee fan since birth. I love the Yankees and would go to see them play in a little league park if I had to. You can't buy presence and there wasn't a more imposing structure then Yankee Stadium. This place has big shoes to fill.   Submit your Ballpark Experience!
