Top 3 things to never say at a traffic stop in new england #1; “Man I love the Yankees” #2; “Man I love the Yankees” #3; “Man I love the Yankees” Honorable Mention: “I hate the Red Sox”
I'm no Yankees fan. But Yankee stadium was a national landmark. It should still be standing today. It was there through so much of our nations' history. A significant place for our culture. What better place to house the baseball hall of fame?
And I hope it stays that way. Not a Sox fan but a fan of their respect for their teams history by not turfing their old home and tearing down all the memories. Nobody could recreate Fenway or the Green Monster. Some of these new fancy parks take away from the game.
@@TheKiiS/ I've been inside the Yankee Stadium before but me and my mom left early before game finished. I don't care if you consider this boring, I would definitely go in there and watch the whole game
Yankee fan that has been going to games since Donnie Baseball. New stadium is very corporate and not fan friendly. Even the affordable bleacher section is pushed further back. I have a much better experience now at citifield. That stadium has an open feeling with great site lines and more fan friendly atmosphere. I miss old Yankee stadium.
I was at the last game in the original stadium. There was something about being in the same place where all the legends used to play that the new stadium doesn’t have.
@hidaven2006 quit ur crying. The Red Sox destroyed the aura of the old stadium when they came back from down 0-3. Yanks never even made it out of the 1st round in the playoffs after that, and didnt even make the playoffs their final year there. A change was needed. It's not a coincidence that they won the WS their first year at the new place
Old stadium was falling apart. Does anyone remember the Yankees playing out of Shea Stadium due to emergency repairs? Has anyone been in the upper deck when a Yankees hits a critical homerun and felt the stands shake? I have. I wish it weren't so. I miss the old stadium too but it's structural life was at an end.
The old stadiums were great because there is nothing to do but sit and watch a game. The new Yankee stadium did a great job honoring their past and modernizing the facilities, but the feeling is different when the field level seats are usually empty when everyone is inside dining.
the mets stadium is nice but goofy. they think they are the dodgers and jackie played for them. its insulting. the jackie robinson rotunda takes up the best real estate in the stadium. he wasnt a met! yes i get that he played in new york so put up a statue outside or a plague but your whole entranceway real estate??
@@infoguy1978 why you have something against Jackie Robinson Statue in CitiField should the Mets not have Willie Mays up there too because he was a Giant even though he also played in New York?
@@davidfraher1292 I don't have a problem with the statue, just the rotunda because its the best real estate in the stadium which is going overboard. city field isn't the dodgers stadium. when I walk in I want to see mets stuff. Las the stadium was built after the dodgers. who cares bout the dodgers? the mets already honored them with their uniform color scheme
I went there when I was 8 the last year the two NY stadiums were open. You could see the new ones right next door it was super cool. Went and saw both teams on the same day. I have yet to go to the new stadiums.
You want a chance to see a Yankee game at the original Yankee stadium. Get a chance go to Wrigley field. Old, tight no field division and crappy bathroom facilities. That was the original Yankee stadium. I saw a bunch of games there when I Young. And I saw hundreds of games in the rebuilt stadium that was replaced in 2009. The new stadium is fantastic.
I went to the old stadium when I was 11 years old in 1959. We were allowed to walk around the field after the game. That was really cool. I got to see several future Halk of Famers in their prime.
Architecturally, these ballparks are significantly different. While the return of the limestone facade and the frieze are welcome throwbacks to the original (pre-renovation) stadium, the lay out of the decks are significantly different, both in their more circular direction around the park, and how far pushed back they are. So much of the appeal of the original (both pre and post renovation) stadium was how majestic and intimidating the decks were. Angling in from behind home plate; sharply hooking around the poles; and being stacked close to the field providing a visual of fans seemingly cascading from the heavens right over top the action. Also, we had monument park in the old (post renovation) park. It was better than the now hidden "museum" in center.
@@Da_Publick ok? You spent all that money to build a new one... easily could've spent the same or less to fix the stadium that had been there since the beginning
@@braves5696often times renovations of that caliber will end up costing more than building a new one. it’s sad they tear down those historical sites still. just happened with my old high school football stadium that got replaced with a new one that feels barren
The dimensions of the old stadium were ridiculous. The right field wall in current Yankee stadium is complained about now...I can't imagine how bad it would be if it were still the same distance. The left field wall was also very deep and that's why some great Yankee right handed sluggers like DiMaggio or Berra don't have eye-popping home run totals.
I remember going as a kid to New York in 2009 and having the great pleasure of seeing old yankee stadium, only days before it would be torn down. Something I’ll never forget. I even wore a Mets hat to the stadium (having the tour of the stadium kept a secret by my father) where our guide picked at me (all in good fun) saying, “by the end of this tour if you still want to wear your Mets hat that’s okay, but if at any point you feel or want to take the hat off. I’ll give you and your brother brand new hats.” Needless to say but by the time we got to the plaques of former legends, the hat was in my hand. The guide was grinning ear to ear and I was too. For him for winning over a new fan (I imagine) however for me I realized I was getting a once in a lifetime opportunity.
As a yankees fan from the 90's kids error. Watching a yankees game as 10 year old at the old yankees stadium was the best feeling in the world if you were a baseball fan. The bleacher creatures were so much louder. The ball had that amazing pop off the bat. The fans were louder and into the game. Not on their smart phones. Let alone a phone to start with. You had to have a disposal camra, hoping the picture you just took came out Okay later on in the week. This new stadium isnt as impressive for me. Its alright. But something about that Old Yankees stadium will always be the best to me. 😢😢😢
I’m a Red Sox fan so 1000% biased opinion here. Building a new yankee stadium is a trash move on the level of selling babe Ruth to keep a broadway play going. Not renovating the old one should curse them for at least 86 years.
That new Yankee stadium fucking suck it's sad 😢 all the 85 history going down the drain I was mad. The new stadium don't feel special or give you Goosebumps.it really didn't feel special when they win it in 2009 too.
They already did in the 70’s. Steinbrenner wanted a new one for years, he wasn’t going to put more money out for another renovation as that can actually cost a lot more. Add to the fact the old one was falling apart. In 1998, a huge piece of concrete fell into the stands, granted no one was in the stadium at the time but imagine if there was. There’d be lawsuits like crazy. Many believe that incident further accelerated the need for a new stadium, not to mention the old one was outdated and very crammed in the end. Having been to both in my life, the new one is a massive improvement and beautiful
The older stadium was way better in that it was a baseball park. The new one has too many distractions from the game and feels more like a football stadium or hockey arena.
The commute was easier from out of the city because it is closer to the train line, has its own stop and you don't have to cross the Major Dedham highway to get to it.
I'm from STL, but even I know you don't just tear down the cathedral of baseball like that 😡 They know they could've damn well still made money on it by having tours. People from all over would've come (myself included) and Yankees fans could come by to pay their respect to the house that Ruth built. Grandparents and parents, showing their kids where they sat. That place was a piece of baseball history ⚾
I had a friend who told me about back in the day some people who were such die hard Yankee fans that after they died they wanted their ashes spread into the infield which wasn't allowed. I don't know how how true this was but it sounded like a good story. So their families would take small amounts of ash from their family member and dump it over the rails on to the infield everytime they went to a game. Now their ashes are in a parking lot where the old stadium used to be. I can see that happening.
I've never wondered why. That old Yankee Stadium was "Nostalgia cool"...until you went to the upper deck, and dealt with the slime covered walkways to your seat. I haven't been to the new Yankee Stadium yet, but even after 14 years, I bet the upper deck isn't slimy, yet. haha.
The new structure that now claims to be the home of the Yankees is severely lacking the personality and charm of the stadium that was built 101 years ago.
Not a new Yorker or a Yankees fan I'm from Chicago and I think naturally we are born with a dislike of new Yorkers. But I'm happy they kept the stadium in the bronyx. So many teams abandon their cities, really just spitting in the fans faces.
Also, all seats face home plate. When people tell me the stadiums they visited. I laugh and tell them, "I've been in the old Yankee stadium countless of times." My greatest memory of that stadium is when Ruben Sierra hit a foul ball on some kids face. I was with my grandfather father and his friend. Great memories!
Im a Dodger fan who never got the chance to visit that historic stadium. In my opinion, the Biggest mistake was knocking down all the history that went down inside that old Yankees stadium.
You can’t just destroy a building that saw 26 titles go into the rafters. I’d imagine a lot of New Yorkers still mourn their history being destroyed like that
At least it’s preserved in the new one in a museum, but in reality the old one was obsolete and falling apart. Hell there were plans for a new one for years before it was started
Could have done a deep renovation to keep its legacy. Cubs were able to do it. Modernized the old park, but kept it in the same place and kept its charm
It was obsolete, crammed, and falling apart, there was an incident in 1998 in which a large piece of concrete fell into the seats. And many felt that further accelerated the need for a new stadium
They should have done done a renovation of it the way the Cubs and Red Sox did renovations of Wrigley and Fenway. Wrigley is almost a completely new ballpark after four or five years of major renovations, but they still can maintain historic location. they could still say Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson played there. All the Yankees have to show for it is a bunch of empty expensive seats down near the diamond.
I never got to go to Ruths house, but the Boss house is IMMACULATE. No matter where u are u csn see the field n watch the game. Standing in line for beer, or watch it on the tv when ur not fscing the field. Very well made. Not a bad seat... Wayyyyyy too expensive tho.
All the money spent and we didn’t even change anything. It’s just a modernized version of the old park but minus all the history. It really bugs me that they tore down the House that Ruth Built just for the sake of “newer, shinier, better.” I wish they would’ve put a retractable roof so we could stop getting rained out constantly. I’m honestly so sick of rainouts and I wish MLB would enforce a rule that gives teams a certain number of years to do something about it. I’m a Yankees fan and i still think any game at the stadium that gets rained out should be a forfeit for us.
There was early concept designs for a retractable roof (same with Citi Field) but neither went through due to it being millions of dollars more expensive and taking longer. Keep in mind the new one began construction in 2006, and the economy got worse soon after
@@RB01.10 Fair point but I just wish MLB would mandate that anyone playing in any area where game cancellations due to weather has a provision for avoiding that. I’m a Yankees fan and I wouldn’t care if they were made to forfeit any home games that were rained out.
Having been able to go to the old one from since I was born numerous times and seeing historic games there and the new one now & having seen historic games there to there was something different about it it’s art like looking at the cathedral in Rome it’s seen empires form and empires fall Historic names & Numbers walked those grounds it’s sad and I miss it to this day I still get goosebumps watching old videos But them making it to a field for the kids if they had kept just alttle but more of the building for the field it would’ve been something special still is
As a se Texan I always disliked the Yankees. But that dislike turned to a malice filled hate when they tore down a field played on by the greatest players to ever play and home to the most storied team in baseball history. I dont give a soaring, marty mcflying back to the future type of f*** about the dated issues it had, you do not tear down the house that ruth built. Criminal
I can’t imagine how badly fans take it if they moved to the west side. Especially with how saturated the west side is around Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen. Would’ve been a nightmare commute
Never been to a Yankees game but every time one is on TV I see all those empty luxury behind home plate and the dugouts. What’s the point of a new stadium if fans can afford to enjoy it?
“‘Why did you build a new krusty krab right next to the original?’
‘Money’”
Yooo. That actually fits so perfectly
Well, the Yankees are a business, and that's what all businesses do.
"Why did you comment on something that has nothing to do with you'?
'Clout chasing.'"
Man I love the Yankees but something about the old stadium just feels different
It's called history. I'm not even a Yankee fan and I miss old Yankee Stadium. It was a crime to get rid of it.
The only reason I like the new one is I had family helped build it , but I do wish they kept the old stadium/more of it
Top 3 things to never say at a traffic stop in new england
#1; “Man I love the Yankees”
#2; “Man I love the Yankees”
#3; “Man I love the Yankees”
Honorable Mention:
“I hate the Red Sox”
@@zachramey7187 I'm surprised it wasn't made into a baseball Yankee museum or some sort of historical sports museasy Emerson thing
@zachramey7187 was about to say, Yeah... HISTORY. 😂❤
More luxury boxes and fewer seats for fans says it all.
fewer seats because people are fatter and need more room. Of course, this comes at more of a premium price, as well.
@@briansoloalso because baseball attendance is declining. All new ballparks are smaller.
It’s cold and all corporate now. Miss the old stadium. Same with the old Giants Stadium. MetLife has no character. Just caters to the corporate crowd.
Almost all historic teams have new "corporate " stadiums/ arenas. Warriors 49ers, Yankees, raiders ect.
Money talks and bullshit walks
MetLife sucks. The only good part is how many seats there are (and of course that’s so they can make as much money as possible).
MetLife is so bad all around, NFL players also rank it the worst field to play on.
@@Tee-OhBeeI’m not sure where you’re getting that from, NFL definitely has a different most disliked stadium and that’s fedex field
I'm no Yankees fan. But Yankee stadium was a national landmark. It should still be standing today. It was there through so much of our nations' history. A significant place for our culture. What better place to house the baseball hall of fame?
The 1973 renovations kinda looked outdated by the last game there in 2008.
The updated stadium is better and they turned the old land into a park and the neighborhood has gotten better
as Wembley since 1923.
ugh..no.. that stadium need to be replaced... no space in the corridors, lack of bathrooms, and concessions
@@voltrono4166 The hallways were terrible and it felt like you were being vacuum sealed.
That why I love the Red Sox’s, still playing in Fenway park.
And I hope it stays that way. Not a Sox fan but a fan of their respect for their teams history by not turfing their old home and tearing down all the memories. Nobody could recreate Fenway or the Green Monster. Some of these new fancy parks take away from the game.
Cubs as well!! Hope they never move to an “upgraded” stadium
Before my grandfather died I bought him a piece of the turf of old yankee stadium. Was definitely one of his most prized possession
The old Yankee Stadium was electric. You could hear the cheers from Ogden Avenue and 167th. The new stadium swallows the sound.
It's that plus everyone is on their phone and they just attend because it's a status thing. They're not really into the game
@@jamesdonoghue7967 have you never been to an MLB game? So incredibly boring. 😂
@@TheKiiS not anymore lol
@@TheKiiS/ I've been inside the Yankee Stadium before but me and my mom left early before game finished. I don't care if you consider this boring, I would definitely go in there and watch the whole game

Citi field is weird with the Jackie Robinson Rotounda rather see a more met centric one
Only corporate can afford to go to games.
the old stadium was nowhere nearfan friendly.. cramped corridors,
100% lived in the DMV for 2 years and was jealous of nationals park, the fan atmosphere compared to Yankee stadium is insane
I was at the last game in the original stadium. There was something about being in the same place where all the legends used to play that the new stadium doesn’t have.
Something else different: the OG wasn’t a glorified shopping mall
Shopping mall with a few hotel rooms that happens to have a baseball field.
With the same energy as a museum

Has anyone been in the upper deck when a Yankees hits a critical homerun and felt the stands shake? I have. I wish it weren't so. I miss the old stadium too but it's structural life was at an end.
Yes, granted I was too young to remember much but it was in 1998 when a large chunk of concrete fell onto some seats.
The old stadiums were great because there is nothing to do but sit and watch a game. The new Yankee stadium did a great job honoring their past and modernizing the facilities, but the feeling is different when the field level seats are usually empty when everyone is inside dining.
Similar at CitiField lots of people end up hanging out and watching the game from the food courts.
the seats at the new spot don't hang over the field like the old one. i miss that.
how tf did they tear that shit down it was holy ground
Facts bro
I mean now it’s a park and you can actually round the bases of it which is pretty cool
They tore it down once before. It wasn’t the same after the 70s renovation.
Old stadium was better for home field advantage, the crowd there was amazing and a homer would raise the roof
The Mets finally did something better. Citifield was a huge upgrade over Shea Stadium even though I loved how open Shea was.
the mets stadium is nice but goofy. they think they are the dodgers and jackie played for them. its insulting. the jackie robinson rotunda takes up the best real estate in the stadium. he wasnt a met! yes i get that he played in new york so put up a statue outside or a plague but your whole entranceway real estate??

I remember when I was a kid watching the ball bounce around the statues in the outfield and the players trying to grab it. Good times
Architecturally, these ballparks are significantly different. While the return of the limestone facade and the frieze are welcome throwbacks to the original (pre-renovation) stadium, the lay out of the decks are significantly different, both in their more circular direction around the park, and how far pushed back they are. So much of the appeal of the original (both pre and post renovation) stadium was how majestic and intimidating the decks were. Angling in from behind home plate; sharply hooking around the poles; and being stacked close to the field providing a visual of fans seemingly cascading from the heavens right over top the action. Also, we had monument park in the old (post renovation) park. It was better than the now hidden "museum" in center.
I'm not a Yankees fan what so ever, but they 100% should have kept the old stadium, just renovated it. So much history there
To much money to do that with how much it would have cost less money in just making a new one on the same land they own
I've watched games in both. The new doesn't come close to the ambiance of the old stadium.
Old Yankee stadium was dirty and hostile. New stadium feels like a museum, shopping mall, airport food court that happens to have a baseball field
Tearing it down was absolutely ridiculous
The original was literally falling apart.

@@izzym1The new one does have a museum
Some stadiums should not be forgotten. This is one of them.
I will never forgive them for tearing down the old stadium
I missed the old Stadium.
My great grandfather was a brass headstone maker and made some of those brass monuments. They moved them from the old stadium to the new one
The new yankee stadium looks like a coliseum outside. Cavernous, cold, and corporate on the inside.
Old yankee stadium was heaven
As a braves fan, they should of never got rid of their last stadium. When I think of playoff baseball that stadium was one of few that came to mind!
Monument park was in the old stadium as well
Yeah, I didn't understand that comment. Unless it was click bait.
The video says "a cool museum behind center field" was a difference between the two stadiums.. which is incorrect @@kenjf1009
The "cool museum behind center field" (better known as Monument Park) was in the old stadium too.

Yogi Berra did not hit right handed, he actually hit lefty but just wasn't that much of a power hitter. Sorry lmao ☝🤓
Those are all negatives haha Smaller capacity and more luxury suites?? That’s BS for regular people.
The new stadium is also so darn more symmetrical.
They made a modern day bandbox.

I was there on opening day while on a school trip in 10th grade...so awesome and still need to go back.
News: "Mr. Steinbrenner, why did you build a new Yankee stadium right next door to the old one?"
Mr. Steinbrenner: "Money"
Mr Steinbrenner: 'Yes'
Been to both. Original much better. Nicer, historic, beautiful and love the house that Ruth built. Monument Park is amazing

I love reminding my Yankee fan friends that all those legends they love played at Fenway Park and never played at New Yankee Stadium. 😂
I went to the last Yankees/Red Sox game in old yankee stadium in 2009. I was 14-15 and It was magical. Got thrown up on in the 8th inning 😅
The new structure that now claims to be the home of the Yankees is severely lacking the personality and charm of the stadium that was built 101 years ago.
Imagine the New Jersey Yankees 💀
Yeah okay bud. Because the New Jersey Giants are sooo annoying
The Tigers should have done this with Tiger Stadium.
Tiger stadium was my favorite place as a kid in the 70,s! Epic ballpark
It’s a beautiful facility. Citi Field is pretty nice too.
I’ve heard a ton of Yankees fans who grew up with the old stadium saying the new one is disappointing
My first game ever was at old Yankee Stadium. I love the new stadium toi
They used cantilever construction that makes anyway you sit or stand a front-row seat they did an excellent job
The new stadium sucks
And many public park space was destroyed. I remember going to the park space that was destroyed just to make room for the stadium.
Ahhhhh Dodger Stadium ❤
And they also won the World Series that year
and just like the choctaw stadium for the rangers, older stadiums just looked so much better in design ngl
They should’ve turned the original Yankee Stadium into a Museum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a new Yorker or a Yankees fan I'm from Chicago and I think naturally we are born with a dislike of new Yorkers. But I'm happy they kept the stadium in the bronyx. So many teams abandon their cities, really just spitting in the fans faces.
It ain’t the same. The old stadium was a madhouse; the fans were right on top of you AND we were winning as well.
Shortest outfield walls in the MLB not to mention the closest. No wonder they hit so many at home lmao.
i miss old stadium’s. i been both them one.
Some real Mr Krabs vibe going on here.
HE FORGOT TOO MENTION..
THEY WON 🏆 IT ALL THAT YEAR TOO. WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS 🏆 2009 NEW YORK YANKEES 🏆 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You can’t just destroy a building that saw 26 titles go into the rafters. I’d imagine a lot of New Yorkers still mourn their history being destroyed like that
At least it’s preserved in the new one in a museum, but in reality the old one was obsolete and falling apart.
Hell there were plans for a new one for years before it was started
Could have done a deep renovation to keep its legacy. Cubs were able to do it. Modernized the old park, but kept it in the same place and kept its charm
Nah there was nothing wrong with the old stadium tbh but the new one was well designed I like the architecture
It was obsolete, crammed, and falling apart, there was an incident in 1998 in which a large piece of concrete fell into the seats.
And many felt that further accelerated the need for a new stadium
Shame they didnt appreciate the history of the House Ruth Built. Yet anther reason I'm thankful to be a Red Sox fan. Fenway lives.
The new yankee stadium has less seating for regular fans and more luxury seats for the rich fans. Great!
They should have done done a renovation of it the way the Cubs and Red Sox did renovations of Wrigley and Fenway. Wrigley is almost a completely new ballpark after four or five years of major renovations, but they still can maintain historic location. they could still say Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson played there. All the Yankees have to show for it is a bunch of empty expensive seats down near the diamond.
I never got to go to Ruths house, but the Boss house is IMMACULATE.
No matter where u are u csn see the field n watch the game. Standing in line for beer, or watch it on the tv when ur not fscing the field.
Very well made. Not a bad seat...
Wayyyyyy too expensive tho.
All the money spent and we didn’t even change anything. It’s just a modernized version of the old park but minus all the history. It really bugs me that they tore down the House that Ruth Built just for the sake of “newer, shinier, better.” I wish they would’ve put a retractable roof so we could stop getting rained out constantly. I’m honestly so sick of rainouts and I wish MLB would enforce a rule that gives teams a certain number of years to do something about it. I’m a Yankees fan and i still think any game at the stadium that gets rained out should be a forfeit for us.
There was early concept designs for a retractable roof (same with Citi Field) but neither went through due to it being millions of dollars more expensive and taking longer.
Keep in mind the new one began construction in 2006, and the economy got worse soon after
@@RB01.10 Fair point but I just wish MLB would mandate that anyone playing in any area where game cancellations due to weather has a provision for avoiding that. I’m a Yankees fan and I wouldn’t care if they were made to forfeit any home games that were rained out.
The new stadium is great but it doesnt have the 'heart' of the old one
Having been able to go to the old one from since I was born numerous times and seeing historic games there and the new one now & having seen historic games there to there was something different about it it’s art like looking at the cathedral in Rome it’s seen empires form and empires fall Historic names & Numbers walked those grounds it’s sad and I miss it to this day I still get goosebumps watching old videos But them making it to a field for the kids if they had kept just alttle but more of the building for the field it would’ve been something special still is
Monument Park also was at the old stadium.
Finally. The front of Steinbrenner’s face.
Saw the Yankees host the A’s in ‘94.
They should’ve kept Shea stadium for the Jets and Giants NFL football
As a se Texan I always disliked the Yankees. But that dislike turned to a malice filled hate when they tore down a field played on by the greatest players to ever play and home to the most storied team in baseball history. I dont give a soaring, marty mcflying back to the future type of f*** about the dated issues it had, you do not tear down the house that ruth built. Criminal
man i want the old back
New Yankee Stadium is nice, but compared to Old Yankee Stadium, it feels like every ballpark ever nowadays.
I can’t imagine how badly fans take it if they moved to the west side. Especially with how saturated the west side is around Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen. Would’ve been a nightmare commute
Pricing out the true fans in hopes of financial gains; modern sports in a nut shell
I've been to the old Yankee Stadium at least 100 times. The new stadium doesn't have what the old stadium had.
It WAS the Taj Mahal of stadiums.
the new stadium SUCKS
Citi field is way nicer than shea
I made sure I went to see the Yankees play their last year before they moved to the new stadium.
Never been to a Yankees game but every time one is on TV I see all those empty luxury behind home plate and the dugouts. What’s the point of a new stadium if fans can afford to enjoy it?
