New Stadium Overtakes Fenway As Baseball's Best

Well, at least according to SportsBusiness Journal. Here's more from The Boston Herald (hat-tip to Zell's Pinstripe Blog):
Fenway Park has lost its grip on first place to Yankee Stadium, according to a new survey.

Readers of SportsBusiness Journal gave top honors to the Bronx Bombers’ $1.5 billion baseball stadium that opened in April. Friendly Fenway finished second, followed by the Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field, Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Park and the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park.

Fenway, a field of dreams (or nightmares) since 1912, had topped the trade publication’s list since its inception in 2005.
According to the poll (subscription required) New Yankee Stadium received 17.41% of the vote while Fenway recieved 15.69% of the vote. Woo hoo, Yanks win again!
