The stadium looks great and it looks even better at night. Love all the pictures of great yankee players all over the stadium.

LOL @ Citi Field that is a shrine to the brooklyn dodgers. Leave it to the mets to steal another teams history.

It kills me to think that I'm not going to have the money to properly explore the stadium for a few years. I'd love to check out the Mohegan Sun sports bar, but it sounds like they priced me out.

It looks great though.

Greg, always on top of things with these photos, thanks. I can't wait to go next week. I'm off to rainy Citi Field in a few, I'll get you the pics either later today or tomorrow.

The Stadium is looking awesome! I noticed that the netting that was over Monument Park was down. Hopefully that means that it will only be used during batting practice, like the netting around the seating areas near the dugouts.

So basically what they are saying in one of those pics is that they are charging $9.00 for a pint of Schlitz. I used the calorie counter and did the math. Funny because the $10 Budweiser is just under 24 oz. No, I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings.

TEN BUCKS FOR BEER?!?!?!?

Damn...

Mike said...

Has anyone seen a picture of Joe Torre at the new place?

Greg Cohen said...

Ten bucks for beer is ridiculous, but at this point I've become use to it. Heineken's were $9.50 at the stadium last year I believe. This is why I always pregame outside the stadium.

Yep Mike, there's one shot in the update above of him holding the WS trophy with George.

10 bucks for a beer clearly sucks, but keep in mind that the Buds are just under 24oz. That's 2 beers/5 bucks a piece just in a large cup. Cheaper than most beers at bars throughout the city. However like Greg said... TAILGATE

Hey, Greg. Love the blog.

Will those batting practice safety net poles stay up during the game?
