Submitted By: Yankee Fan Grade: A
Pros of the ballpark:
As
a Yankee Fan it shows alot of the great history of the Yankees.
Every sight line of the stadium where ever you sit is pretty
good. The Museum in the stadium is awesome. The Game Day
experience is also very awesome and its worth going to this
stadium. Also lastly you will see alot of homeruns hit while
there because the left center and right field wall are half way
in.
Cons of the ballpark:
Monument park is too small it was larger in the old stadium.
Also Paying $35 for parking in a lot thats crummy as it is not
worth it. Take the Subway to the game it costs less and faster
to get out of the stadium.
Additional Comments:
Yankee Stadium is where championship teams are made.

Pros of the ballpark:
I
may be biased as a Yankee Fan, but this is a great ballpark. The
structure is amazing and the features are excellent. Monument
park, the Yankee Museum and the Great hall are all really nice.
The view from just about every seat is nice. Just an all around
great ballpark to see a game.
Cons of the ballpark:
Too Expensive. Food is overpriced, tickets are too expensive,
parking prices are absurd. The average blue collar fans are all
relegated to the upper deck, while the good seats are designated
for just corporate people. While the stadium may be a great
place to see a game, nothing can compare to the atmosphere of
the original stadium.
Additional Comments:
Nice stadium, just expensive.

Pros of the ballpark:
I liked the general excitement of
the people entering and attending the game, the awesome stadium
design, the extreme cleanliness, and the exceptional sight
lines. There are lots of places to hang out before/after games
in the neighborhood.
Cons of the ballpark:
If there are any negatives to
associate with this new baseball shrine, I'm not aware of them.
Additional Comments:
The Yankees scored a home run with
this instant legend.

Pros of the ballpark:
It's a glitzy, high-tech ballpark
that will give the rich all of the amenities that they could
possibly imagine. Cushioned seats, dedicated entrances, private
elevators..etc. New scoreboard is nice too.
Cons of the ballpark:
Everything else. If you can't afford
to pay $1500, you get stuck in the upper level. Even though the
Yankees "claim" games are sellouts, HUGE holes of empty seats
dot the entire stadium, with entire sections empty in the lower
level. The stadium is definitely quieter as the real fans have
been replaced by the rich who sit and do not cheer.
Additional Comments:
The stadium is nice, but the
environment is completely different from the old stadium. I
would go to see a game, but don't expect to be hear much aside
from the music the speakers blare in, and the incessant pleas to
cheer.

Pros of the ballpark:
This is a beautiful, classic ballpark. It is
a modernized replica of the old Yankee Stadium. It seems to fit the
Yankees well, and it carries on the old park's legacy of being the home
of Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle and DiMaggio. In terms of the experience, it is
a great way to see a baseball game. The seats are all angled perfectly
so that you can see home plate no matter where you are. There are many
seating options to choose from, with many unique seating options. The
bleachers are fine, and you can see the whole field fine, and the
bleachers are a great, inexpensive way to watch a game. Most of the
attendees are very passionate Yankee fans, so there is excitement in the
air and it is a great baseball atmosphere. The food, although it is
expensive, is very good. There are many places to buy food in the
stadium, and the Rock Hard Cafe and NYY Steak are great before-game
restaurants. Check out the exhibits and other sites. Monument Park is
very cool I hear, although I haven't been there yet. The stadium is
located close to a subway station, the Major Deegan, and the GWB.
Parking isn't much of a pain as long as you get there fairly early. All
in all, it is a great, family-friendly park that is a great place to
watch a game.
Cons of the ballpark:
Very expensive! Everything
- the food and most of the seats, is expensive. You might want to bring
binoculars, especially if you are sitting in the top level, which is
very high up.
Additional Comments:
I am a huge Yankees fan,
so maybe I'm a little bit biased. But it's a great baseball atmosphere
on game day, and the park says "glory" from the moment you see it.
Perfectly fitting for the Yankees, and it's a great place to see a great
team play ball.

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.
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.
