jay woltI think its great that the new stadium will be in the same area, and that it won't be in Manhattan or Jersey.
The current stadium does have many ties to the past. Monument park is pretty neat and stands in the same spot. Only difference is, they added a lot more monuments and that area is no longer in play as they brought in the fences.
I've been to over 100 Yankee games incl pre'74 for the renovation and '76 and up. I was at their 1st game in the "new" stadium vrs the Twins where Disco Dan Ford hit the 1st Home Run.
When my boy comes home on leave in 2 weeks, I promised to take him there, its a 4-5 hour ride without traffic and it will be our last chance to see the current stadium...jay
