From an interview I read of his he basically said it's bitter sweet. He's happy they're getting a new stadium, but he's going to miss the old one. I'm sure the same emotions a lot of us are feeling.
I posted this in the stadium videos thread, but I thought it might get buried, so I'm reposting it here...
Here are some pictures from the stadium updates page to sort of illustrate what I mean (with regard to the upper deck being further away). Desipte the upper deck being pushed back, there's still something very imposing about the upper deck plus the frieze... I don't even think the old stadium looked this "looming":

You have a valid point Pinstripes, I guess we all won't know for sure until we actually sit there and see it for ourselves. I hope it ends up being great.
Looks good............good.
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome set of photos.
ReplyDeleteNice job, when are you raffling off a tour of the new stadium lol
I wish I could take a tour myself.
ReplyDeleteI wounder how Bob Sheppard feels moving into a new stadium. He's works at Yankee Stadium for a long time.
