Nice post Chuck. I agree there is nothing like Yanke Stadium, the place is an absolute shrine. No matter how many times I have went, I always get that same special kind of feeling whenever I walk through the tunnel and see the field (just like the first time I saw the field as a kid). I have been to a handful of stadiums on the east coast and the thing that strikes me most about Yankee Stadium is that it's all about the baseball (Fenway was pretty cool too). What I mean is you hear people talk about parks like Camden Yards and the Phils new park (I think it's Citizens field) and people only talk about the ribs or all the things for the kids to do. I guess it's more about entertainment than it is baseball. Yankee stadium is 100% baseball. I personally don't see the need for a new stadium in the Bronx, but I guess it is all about the $$$$$$. I will definitley miss the old place.
