bigbluepride35 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Saw part of the press conference. They're going to keep the same field dimensions. Just under 51,000 seats with 30,000 on the lower level and 20,000 on the upper. Supposedly better lines of sight for EVERYONE. ANd even at concession stands you'll hjave lines of sight to the field. Looks incredible with the old facade. I'll post a link of design pics if I find one.

j.nudd Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 This is sacrilege... Well, i suppose it's not that serious. I've never been to Yankee Stadium, so I'm not sure about all of hte line of sight issues and what not, but seriously, this place is a living museum. It's the 3rd oldest park in the game, right behind Fenway and Wrigley. If they tore down either Wrigley Stadium (thanks, Jeff Gordon) or Fenway Park, I would be surprised. They oughta leave Yankee Stadium as it is.

Plus I'm sure it will be turned into a museum-type thing. And that second pic is inaccurate. They scrapped the retractable roof idea. Though yeah the top one is pretty much on.

That'd be something for high school kids to play on it. Something for them to remember.
