Greg Cohen said...: As much as I hate to admit it, it really is. It's going to be a great Stadium. Hopefully it lives up to its predecessor.; October 8, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Anonymous said...: The first picture looks like it was of the computer. I wounder if this stadium would be renovated like the old one.; October 8, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Greg Cohen said...: I think that pic was definitely doctored. It does look like it went through Photoshop, but still it's a cool pic.

Not sure about the renovation.; October 8, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Anonymous said...: I wouldn't think that either but you never know. I'm also wondering what they would do for opening day next year?; October 8, 2008 at 6:15 PM
Greg Cohen said...: The Yanks have been and always will be a first class organization so I wouldn't expect anything less for opening day next year.

If you've been to opening days at the current place you have an idea of what I'm talking about. So I guess we should expect that plus a little more being that it's a new stadium. Besides that I have no idea what to expect.; October 8, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Anonymous said...: I have never been to an opening day. My Parents take me to a game in the summar once a year. This year I saw the game when sir sir sidney pitched very well against the angels. Too bad mo blew it.; October 8, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Any word on if they'll let people go the bathroom during God Bless America?; October 8, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Greg Cohen said...: I know this goes without saying, but you should definitely get to an opening day when you get a chance.; October 8, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Greg Cohen said...: LOL, I have no idea Crosetti. But I was able to get to the bathroom during everything 7th inning stretch I was there for. Thank God for the bleachers.; October 8, 2008 at 6:24 PM

Anonymous said...: i was at that game too,vs baltimore, rodrigo lopez, august 23rd 2003? i think it was. i remember they announced that bobby bonds passed away.; October 8, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Yea I remember about Bobby Bonds. I think that Bob sheperd was crying a little bit when he was talking about it.

Mike Missina Pitched that game. I think he went 8 an 2 thids letting up six runs.

Yes it was the 23rd.; October 8, 2008 at 7:45 PM

Anonymous said...: The first image isn't doctored or photoshopped, it's just an evening shot with a long exposure. You can see that it's either night (or dusk) and a lot of the internal/work lights are on.

It's looking beautiful. I love how it's a bit more "open" feeling by the scoreboard area. Comparing to YS now, it feels less like a big wall, and more like an actual scoreboard.; October 8, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Anonymous said...: Oh, I did not notice the back round of the stadium.; October 8, 2008 at 9:46 PM
Greg Cohen said...: Ahh, thanks for the info Pinstripes.

By the way, I added four more shots to the update.; October 8, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Mike B. said...: My favorite shot is the last one. Neato!

I hope to see you guys at the new digs!

Let's Have a "Sliding Into Home" Night (In the bleachers?); October 9, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Greg Cohen said...: I like the idea Mike, and that's probably where I'll be sitting at most of the games I goto this year. I'll try and set something up.; October 9, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Anonymous said...: I noticed on the second picture I think they might of gotten the sore board working.; October 10, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Greg Cohen said...: Yup, it looks like a test run.; October 10, 2008 at 8:11 PM
Anonymous said...: The next test run will most likely be the stadium lights.; October 10, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Greg Cohen said...: Probably. That might not happen for a while, though.; October 10, 2008 at 8:25 PM
Anonymous said...: If the yankees get CC, Burrnet, and Peavy, I wounder who would star opening day at the new stadium? If Moose comes back, then it would probably be him.; October 10, 2008 at 9:15 PM
