i went but not on the field

Thats awesome man. That was a great game to go to. How great was it to see Bernie again :D

it actually makes sense now though. cause in the age of profit sharing now other ball clubs that had no money to spend on big names now do.


i despise the yankees with everything inside of me. BURN YANKEE STADIUM BURN! id go watch the demolition of Yankee Stadium cheering it on with a phillies jersey with a beer in my hand.

After reading your commentary in the Patriots thread you just sound like another Philly sports fan sore loser. It isn't about the Yanks specifically or any other team, it is some idiotic belief that any team that wins is cheating or doing something underhanded.

Was it cheating when the Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams gave up another one of his patented, tape measure home runs and cost the Phillies the series?

i couldnt see him, i was 4 rows from the top in section 19

never forget that name :-x

Not true.

The old Yankee Stadium will be converted into a park with trees etc and will house multiple ball fields for kids. Certain parts will be torn down (stands) but the Stadium will still remain. Truth is the Yankee Organization doubts the new Stadium will be fully functional by opening day of next year and plan to keep the back end of the old stadium active to support the new one....

Where did you read that? I heard that as part of the agreement with the city, the Yankees have to knock the old stadium down and build parks and such like you said on the land and turn it over to the city, leaving only a plaque where home plate was. The Yankees also have to pay to build a new train station for the new stadium.

From Newsday
Old Yankee Stadium will come down slowly

By the time the Yankees open new Yankee Stadium on April 16, 2009, the current Yankee Stadium won't be forgotten.

It won't be gone, either.

The current Yankee Stadium will be demolished relatively slowly, with the main structure still standing well into the 2009 season, according to Yankees executives who have been briefed on the demolition plan but requested anonymity because talks with the city are still ongoing. New York City owns both Yankee Stadiums.

When will the first brick be removed from The House That Ruth Built? Probably not until next March, when the Bronx Bombers are in spring training and the finishing touches are being put on the new Yankee Stadium.

"We're talking with the city about that and we hope to have a resolution this week," one Yankees executive said last night.

The Yankees are scheduled to have a closing ceremony for the Stadium in early November with details to be announced. The team's front-office staff is scheduled to vacate the Stadium in late February/early March to move to the $1.3-billion ballpark being built across the street.

Selective demolition will take place in the spring. Items that are to be sold by the city - including the famed giant bat, a popular meeting place, and the stadium's seats - will be removed during this period. The city has yet to choose a company to handle the work. Nor have sale details been released to hungry memorabilia collectors.

The actual ballpark structure will not be torn down until 2010. It will not be imploded, as other ballparks have been, because the area around the ballpark is residential.

After the ballpark is gone, the city will build a $23-million park with softball, baseball and Little League fields. The parkland is not expected to be completed until 2011.

The timetable of the demolition plan was first reported Sunday by the New York Post.

NO FAIR

they leveled my vette and they tear this down brick by brick.
BAH HUMBUG LETS TORCH THE EFFER!

wahhhhhhhhhh the only character the vet had was dykestras spit stain

dykstra ftw

i watched fireworks from his spit stain one year

shilling ftw

Dykstra was from NY :razz:

yeah but we stole him from the mets. he never ruined his career by playing for the stankees.

No, but you Philly people almost killed him by smashing his car :razz:

thats what happens when you dont deliver championships. McNabbs next :evil:

:lol:

If that was true there would be no living Eagles and the about 50 Phillies that played one that one magical season left alive. lol

Face it, Philadelphia has a lot going for it, winning championships just isn't one of them. Hell, even a horse closely associated with the city gagged on his oats when it was crunch time in the triple crown. lol

BTW Read in one of the papers yesterday that more Hall of Famers played in Yankee Stadium than have played against any other franchise in history.
