Okay-
Sorry if this getting obnoxious with all the Yankee Stadium threads,but the comparisons are inevitable..So... how does the New Yankee Stadium stack up against the pre-renovated and post renovated Yankee
Stadiums? For those of you who have been lucky enough to now see all 3 Yankee Stadiums in your lifetimes,how would you rank them?

1) Pre Renovated YS
2) Pre Renovated YS (no typo)
3) The brand new YS.
As for the renovated stadium. Hated it when it opened, hate it even
though it is closed. Good riddens when it is down and gone. Long live
the pre renovated YS

Not a Yankees fan, but I have tom overwhelmingly say the NEW stadium will blow away the former and make everyone some day forget the old one.
I know strong words, but its true.
Yankee stadium is world renowned, a classic place, my personal favorite for the atmosphere and the way the stadium was formed. But its time had come and passed.
The city of NY and the Yankees needed a park.

Nothing will ever beat the pre-renovated Yankee Stadium. It is, bar none, the greatest Stadium of all time, and anything that attempts to beat it will fail miserably. (Note: I never actually saw the Pre-Renovated Stadium, just going based off of pictures and accounts of it.)
I'll give you a final judgment tonight after I'm in NYS, but I think NYS will likely blow RYS right out of the water.

Looks like a little more foul territory in the new one. But less behind HP in the new compared to the old one.

HAHA yeah okay,
I'll never forget the old stadium, no stadium could ever make me forget the House That Ruth Built. I'm not saying that this one isn't better, but give me a break. RYS will always be "Yankee Stadium" to me.

;) I knew I would draw a little ire from that.
Of course not, just testing you..:laugh
