(I did not take these photos, I found them on various websites, blogs, message boards, etc., some were also emailed to me. So if I didn't give you credit for your photos I apologize, but please just email me and I'll give credit where credit is due.)

I have mixed feelings about the new Stadium, but it really is starting to look great. I'm sure when it's finished the outside will be beautiful, but it's the inside, and that stupid restaurant in center field, that I'm worried about.

The restaurant reminds me of a cross between Rogers Centre, and US Cellular. In fact, a lot of the interior reminds me of US Cellular.

One of the things that make Yankee Stadium, YANKEE STADIUM, is how close the upper deck is to the field. Players say it feels like the fans are right on top of you. This part of the Yankees home field advantage will be lost forever in the new Stadium. The upper deck will be pushed back in the new place for better sight lines...great. Here is a profile comparison of the current and future Yankee Stadiums:

I hope I'm wrong and they build the greatest stadium in the world, because that's what it's going to be replacing.
