I am old enough and had been there enough to remember what the old stadium smelled like and it was not good. Clearly money has a big influence on the new Stadium in fact I had a partial season package in 2008 and when I went to renew I was told that the price had gone from $75 a game for two tickets to $700 a game for the same section. Clearly I was shocked and did not renew the plan and opted for a Sunday plan in the bleachers which I have grown to love.
On the other side of that coin the field and views of the field are so accessible to EVERYBODY. No more hiding along the side of a tunnel to get a good view of a crucial at bat or a quick photo of a favorite player. The Yankees may be farther away but the game is closer for most of the fans.
Folks complain about the food choices but at least there are choices and many of them like the Labels sandwich and the pint of Turkey hill Ice cream are quite tasty. I took two nephews and a niece to the Hard Rock for lunch and it was $60 for the four of us. Tough to complain about that. EVERYTHING around the game changes but the game stays the same and I am so lucky to share Yankee games with 40,000 of my fellow fans a few time each year and plan on doing so for as long as I am able.
Brandon Steiner was the topic of this thread and I have a few Steiner authenticated items all purchased on the secondary market for a fraction of original price. But I have been tempted a few time with items at the stadium store. I will post if I ever give in.

Jonathan
